Alexander and Catherine married in Inverness, in 1891.By this time sadly, only their mothers were alive. Catherine's soon to be brother-in-law, lived with his parents in a cottage on Leanaig.I guess that's where her older sister, met her future husband. Her sister Jamina married at Inverness, in 1893.
