The story i have been told is my ggg grandfather was known as Mackintosh of Moy, his youngest daughter Rachel fell in the loch and Alexander Forsyth saved her and asked for her hand in marriage as his reward. |

You could try Scotlandspeople to look for the marriage certificate...unfortunately it is pay as you go. The certificate will give you the fathers name. |

The marriage is too early for a certificate. Civil registration was only introduced into Scotland in 1855. Their father's may be mentioned on the parish record but it is not always the case. |
