The Question of Identity

Anna Porterfield, here treated, is identified as Anne Porterfield in the Catalogue of the Exhibition Illustrative of Old Glasgow but she is Anna Porterfield in her marriage record, and in the baptismal records of her three children.

Anna Porterfield is said to be the daughter of Alexander Porterfield, brother of the Laird of Duchall. Catalogue of the Exhibition Illustrative of Old Glasgow
