  Family	Peter FINLAYSON,   b. 1 Oct 1860, West Linton, Peeblesshire d. 24 Dec 1910, "Gateside", Coulter, Biggar, Lanarkshire (Age 50 years)
  Notes	There is no obvious marriage record, but likely to be just before the 1891 Census, maybe 1887-9? The evidence for the marriage comes from the gravestone and matching ages with the census. So the marriage is presumed... A family note talks about the son of one of the daughters being a doctor in Canada. Neither Marion nor Janet appear to have children at present, but it is something to investigate.
