I am trying to find a marriage between Robert LAURIE and Hellen MENZIES. In 1881 this couple were living at Warwick St Nicholas in England. Robert was 71 and a retired Draper, Hellen is 64. Both state they are from Dumfries. I have been told that Robert is in Warwick on the 1841 census- Robert Laurie , age 30, draper, SCT was in the Market Sq William Laurie, age 40, draper, SCT in New St but have yet to get a copy of the entry for him, my gt gt grandfather John MENZIES also a Draper from Dumfries is on the 1841 census for Newark, Nottinghamshire. Was there a training school in Dumfries for Drapers? Is anyone researching the LAURIE surname? Dorothy Holden nee MENZIES Dover Kent England Uk --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
