Relationship3rd great-grandmother of Lorna Henderson.
     
     Margaret Chrystal was born bef. 1797 possibly in ?Kippen, STI, SCT. She and James Millar were assumed to have married bef. 1815 probably in ?Kippen, STI, SCT, This assumes that Amelia's dth cert has her correct father, and that Amelia's grddtr Millie Harbour nee Henderson's memory of Amelia's mother being a "Miss Crystal" was correct. The marriage is not obvious in the Kippen OPR (need to recheck this, but I believe I've checked the surrounding area - Perth, Kincardine, Clackmannon, Stirling and St Ninians).2,3,4
