Dear James
I have complied a large database of North East CATTO's and Elspet is in it, but as
some info is from secondary sources can't comment on its reliabilty. Is a complex line
linking in and out a number of times with both the PITTENDREIGH & the CARDNO familes.
Elspet CATTO was the daughter of James CATTO & Ann STEPHEN, b abt 1797 in Rathen and
died 3 Jan 1880 at Kinbog, Fraserburgh. She married Alexander CARDNO on 29 Dec 1816 at
Rathen and they had 5 children (that I have found but you may have more) - Isabel b 1818;
Jane b abt 1821; Alexander b abt 1823; George b abt 1827 and Elizabeth b abt 1829.
James CATTO was b 1758 in Rathen, son of James CATTO & Janet MURISON and died 8 Oct
1828 (is buried in Rathen Kirkyard).
I have 9 children of Isabel CARDNO & John MASSIE - are there others?
Hope this helps
Trayna
