Notes for Mary Semple:

RESEARCH: Is she Robert Jamieson Semple and Catherine Livingstone's daughter? Lived at 52 Freeland Place in 1918, when son Walter Semple Reid was killed in WWI. More likely she is daughter of Walter McLaren Semple and Mary McDonald, b1869. Thus her son's name, Walter Semple Reid.

TODO: Scots Origins: get marriage extract to determine if she is from Robert Semple/Catherine Livingstone's family or Walter Semple and Mary McDonald's.
