I have Peter Coutts b 2 Aug 1816 - his parents John Coutts, Surgeon, Strichen, and Margaret Smith, an unmarried woman. Trying to discover
more about John Coutts - dob, whether he married and to whom, and when he died. Had hoped to find record of Surgeons - presume he qualified in
Scotland.
Peter married Jane Bruce b 12 July 1819 in Banff and seek dod for Jane.
Peter married Susan Mchattie b abt 1816 in Berkshire, Eng and seek dod for
Susan.
Peter died in 1876 and was predeceased by both Jane and Susan.

My seach has moved to JOHN COUTTS, Surgeon as above, and
Margaret Smith. Earlier I worked on the son, Peter Coutts.
