I am struggling to find any BMD information on Agnes Reid who was the mother of Agnes Wright who was christened in Banff on 17 Oct 1803. The father was a Thomas Wright who I think was christened in Banff on 5 Jun 1783. I am not sure if Thomas and Agnes Reid were married but he did marry Henrietta Cameron on 27 Apr 1805 in Banff. Can anyone help me?

Hi Shirley
My apologies. The dates I quoted were dates of birth not dates of baptism. I have copies of both originals

Hi All
I appear to be no further forward with this one.
As Shirley indicates, Agnes's baptism record does say "lawful daughter" and "wife" but could this be untrue? The reason I am questioning this is because I cannot find any OPR record of a marriage between Thomas Wright and Agnes Reid only a record of a marriage between Thomas and a Henrietta Cameron in 1805
