    Husband Hugh Mitchell
              b. Abt Aug 1731  
              d. Abt 1788 (Age ~ 56 years) 
    Marriage 25 Aug 1755  Barr, Ayrshire, Scotland, Kingdom of Great Britain Find all individuals with events at this location  [2, 3] 
    • Per Sue Merrifield - no corroborating evidence that this is the correct couple although the names are sufficient unusual for it to be a strong coincidence.

      Barr is a long way from New Cumnock where Hugh was born, but not too far from Dailly, which is where a Sara McIlwraith was christened on 15 nov 1731 (daughter of William McIlwraith)

      The FamilySearch and Ancestry records confirms the event, albeit with different spellings
    Age at Marriage Sarah was 23 years old - Hugh was 24 years old.
