Leith, Keiss area 1810

[Fraslet]

I'm trying to trace the parents (grandparents etc) of Donald Leith b. 02/04/1810 d. 07/03/1890 m. 10/12/1831 to Helen MacKay, can anyone provide any information.

I had thought that his parents were William Leith b. 15/06/1781 and Jean Manson m. 07/12/1806 but not entirely sure now as I have discovered two other William Leiths b 12/08/1774, 25/05/1776.

Thank you for the information, much appreciated. I will make a point of visiting the cemetery when I'm in the area in October.
