Life Story
1843
Agnes is born 24th June 1843 in the parish of Strathdon and Corgaff at Craigengour. Strangely, Agnes is referred to as the couple’s first child, despite brother John being born in 1841 (although the only record of him is the grave).
Craigengour was another tricky place to locate. The old OS descriptions from the 1860s list several variants, all roughly meaning ‘rocks of the goat(s)’.
