Esther Miller

     Esther Miller was estimated to have been born bef. 1735 probably at ?Cogle, Watten, CAI, SCT.^2,3
     Esther Miller married Donald Georgeson on 26 Mar 1755 in the Par. of Watten, CAI, SCT, Watten OPR reads: "28 Feb 1755 matrimonially contracted Donald Georgeson in Kirk in Bower and Esther Miller in Coggill (sic) accomplished 26 Mar 1755" (the igi has conflicting dates: 26 Mar 1755 Watten and 29 Feb 1753 Bower, which is rather far apart to be banns at weekly intervals for 3 weeks! Given the Bower record is an extraction, I had assumed that was the more correct, even though there wasn't a 29th that year, but it is definitely a mistype).^2,3,1
     Esther Miller was estimated to have died aft. 1766 probably in the Par. of Bower, CAI, SCT.
     Her name was also spelt Ester.³ She and Helen J Miller also at Coggill, Watten, CAI, SCT, in 1755 were possibly related, ?sisters?. Their marriages were less than a mth apart, both from the same small part of Watten Parish. If so, then their respective children who later married, were cousins (James Manson to Christian Georgeson) In addition, the witness to the baptism of Esther Georgeson (dtr of Esther and Donald) was a David Manson, possibly her brother-in-law ie married to Helen. I'm guessing that their parents were John and Christian Miller.^4,5 In Feb 1755 Esther Miller was living at Coggill, Watten, CAI, SCT.²
