[This message (sent over a week ago) has not yet appeared on the list] I also am interested in Laurie/Lawrie in and around Kirkcudbright during the period 1750-1850. In particular:- Archibald Lawrie (1768-1837) who married Anne McKitterick Adair in 1794. Their son George James Lawrie (1796-1878) married Laura Louise second daughter of Samuel Ludlow of Delhi. Their daughter Frances Wallace Lawrie (b. 7 September 1828) married Thomas Carlyle (1803-1855) son of William Carlyle and Margaret Heriot of Savannah, Georgia. (Margaret was the widow of William McMurdo of Jamaica). I have sent this information because of the current interests of members of the list but hope to double-check the detail when I have more time.

Just picked this up. I have - John Thomson b.1817-1820 d.1890, married Janet Laurie d.1866 (b. abt 1819). A number of children that I cannot find - includes James (married Elizabeth Fair?), Mary (married unknown McQueen) & David. John's parents - Samuel Thomson (b.1789 d.1874) Catherine McCubbin, var. spellings (b.1791 d.1859), Samuel & Catherine lived at (Little) Auchenfadd, Troqueer . Also have James Thomson (believe b.1815) first married Margaret Mctaggart 1843, then married Elizabeth Roxburgh 1860. All this courtesy of my grandfather who prepared a family tree prior to 1968. I have only been at this for abt. 4 months and feel that I am chasing shadows with James & John. I have solid info. on their younger brother Joseph, my 2g/grandfather. I believe that James & John, and their issue, had connections with families (in no particular order) - Angus Fair McQueen Clydesdale McSheny Scott Cairns Love McPhail Cameron Thomson I have had more success tracing family in NSW, Australia. Anyone out there able to give me a lead? David Thomson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mrs E.
