Coupar Angus Parish register reads: «i»21 Dec 1790 Isabel Gillchrist wa intered aged 32 yrs.«/i» [Image in Gilchrist file]
No birth certificate for Isabel has yet been found.
However, a Banns was read in Bendochy on 14 Nov 1779 for the upcoming marriage of John Tasker and Isobel Gilcrist (note the spelling of the name). they were married in Coupar Angus in December. This Banns give us the clue that Isobel came from Bendochy, a mile or so across the river from Coupar Angus. Incidently it is recorded that they paid 3/6d (three shillings and six pence), presumably to have the Banns read.
The Banns reads:
«i»Nov 14 [1799] John Tasker in parish of coupar angus [capitalization as written] & Isobel Gil
-crist [sic.] in this parish gave up their names to be proclaimed in order to marriage p 3/6«/i»
