Sometimes you can guess a record's existence before ever you get proof. George Scott of Butleigh had a daughter Miriam born 1818. Odd, as this was the name of his uncle's wife, who had died before he was even born. Unless perhaps there had been a 'middle Miriam' - for example, a sister of George. And so it proved. There were two, in fact: Miriam Scott 1791 and then Miriam Scott 1794-1818 were born shortly after their uncle's wife had died. This last Miriam passed away shortly before the birth of the girl in 1818.
