      Scotland Statutory Deaths: 1861 - 463 - 31
      Name: Margaret Condie or Condil* altho at this time I don't recognize this surname, this is a potential answer to Illeg. dtr Margaret born abt 1844 and not found on 1861 census of Geo & Magaret (Wilkie) Rae

      Registered: 1865, Aug 7th at Aberdour, J L Ironside, Registrar


      Initially I had linked this illegitimate birth to Margaret Wilkie - Rae born abt 1844, who was also an illegitimate child of Margaret Wilkie born 1823 who married Geo Rae in 1849

      However further research has revealed that a Margaret Condie or Condil, died August 7th 1861 at Mawcarse, Orwell, Kinross, who mother is named as Margaret Wilkie, and death registered by Uncle Charles Wilkie - (brother to Margaret Wilkie b 1823 who Married Geo Rae) which I believe could be Margaret Wilkie born 1844, thus if deceased, couldn't give birth to another Margaret Rae b 1865 hw.
