Hi Lois
On the International Genealogical Index at www.familysearch.org is the following marriage:
JAMES MATHER
Male
Marriages:
Spouse: MARGARET LATTO
Marriage: 17 JUL 1846 Dysart, Fife, Scotland
There is also the following birth to this couple:
JEMIMA MATHER
Female
Birth: 11 MAY 1852 Dysart, Fife, Scotland
Parents:
Father: JAMES MATHER
Mother: MARGARET LATTO
There is a birth for a Margaret Latta on the IGI as follows. The date, location and father's name look good. Remember though, that before 1855 it was not compulsory to register births, marriages and deaths and many weren't. You would need some proof that this is the correct birth. Her death record may give the names of her parents:
MARGARET LATTA
Birth: 25 MAR 1824
Christening: 11 APR 1824 Dysart, Fife, Scotland
Parents:
Father: ROBERT LATTA
Mother: MARGARET DOIG
The following children are given as being born to this couple:
ISOBEL LATTA - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 11 DEC 1819 Christening: 26 DEC 1819 Dysart, Fife, Scotland
CATHERINE LATTA - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 14 APR 1822 Dysart, Fife, Scotland
MARGARET LATTA - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 25 MAR 1824 Christening: 11 APR 1824 Dysart, Fife, Scotland
GRACE LATTA - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Birth: 05 MAY 1828 Christening: 25 MAY 1828 Dysart, Fife, Scotland
This is the marriage of Robert Latta and Margaret Doig. Note the variant in spelling. The IGI doesn't recognise LATTA AND LATTO as the same so they have to be searched separately:
ROBERT LATTO
Male
Marriages:
Spouse: MARGARET DOIGE
Marriage: 23 NOV 1818 Wemyss, Fife, Scotland

Patricia
