there was some kind of war about 1850 time which included people from Scotland in it. I ask because i have a Andrew Heatlie who fathered a child around 1850 time in Scotland then he just disappears. I know from his son's marriage records that he was deceased by 1867 but thats all i know. I was wondering if he could have been killed somewhere. Dawn

I don't think we were at War with anyone at that time, but it was the time of the Irish potato famine.
