Did You Know?

  • David Daer and Ann Mitchell appear to have deviated from the usual Scottish naming pattern. Their only daughter, Susan Daer, was named after her paternal grandmother, and their eldest son, David Dear, after (I believe) his maternal grandfather (normally it would be the maternal grandmother and paternal grandfather respectively).
