  • Notes 
    • David Corsar appears to have lived in the Mains and Strathmartine area most of the time, but sometimes in Dundee.

      David Corsar, "wright," had the following children with his wife, named as "Margaret Durham" or "Isobel Durham." It would appear that these two are different names for the same woman, because the children's birth years dovetail perfectly. However, it is possible that there were two David Corsars living in the area, and that they were married to two Durham woman. There is a marriage record (OPR) for David Corsar and Margaret Durham, 1766. No record can be located for an Isobel Durham at any date in this period.

      An Isobel "Corser" was buried on 15 April 1797 in Monifieth Parish. A map of Angus County parishes shows that Monifieth bordered Dundee parish to the West.

      An Elizabeth "Corser" died a few days earlier and was buried in the same place.
