• 1 Helen Sutherland and Janet Mair's husbands could have have been either Alex Flett the son of James Flett and
• Margaret Cumming or Alex Flett the son of John Flett and Margaret Sharp. But probably as portrayed is correct.
• 2 It isn't clear which of the two Margaret Fletts married William Mair.
• 3 The OPR reads "& married Do. 28" meaning married 28 September. The IGI reads it as 28 December but that would
• not be within the required thirty days since the contract and pledging of vows.
• 4 Janet Flett had James to John Sutherland.
• 5 Working with these two families need some care. James Smith from Findochty and James Smith,`Bodie' from Portessie
• both married wives called Helen Flett.
• 7 Alex Flett who married Helen Thain may be the same as Alex who later married Ann Flett. There is some evidence
• to suggest that he was the son of James Flett and Jean Prott, born c.1785, although not recorded.
• 8 Alex Flett who married Margaret Clark, may have also had a second wife, Helen Gordon.
• 9 There is a difficulty in determining which William married Mary Sutherland. See Flettdes.006,6
