UNNAMED CHILD WITH JOHN VICHEY, 1859
Father is John Vichey 'now or lately of Corwar Mains'

Searching Family Search for a John Vichey regardless of dates, gives NO results. Same when searching surname Vichey only. Also ZERO results when searching Vichey on ScotlandsPeople.

If confirmed that the photo is Mary Margaret Douglas(only way is to date the photograph and massive assumption). Could the date of the photo indicate when daughter Jane passes 1880-1889?
