Hello, My name is Elaine Huesing and I live in Canada. My Great Grandfather, Malcolm McRorie immigrated to Canada in the early 1900's, he married Mary Fields (born 1878 in Scotland, Ayr) in Canada where they settled in New Westminster and White Rock BC. His Mother was Mary Dallas (born 1853 in Forres, Scotland) and father was William McRorie (originally from Crieff, born 1847, apparently his father's name was William as well.). Besides my Great Grandfather, Malcolm, Mary and William had other children. Mary, Isabella, Annie, Jeannie, Alex and William. When talking to a cousin (Mary's son) who now lives in Canada, he said that he recalls a story that his grandfather William left Crieff because of his father's second marriage. My cousin, Alistair Elliot sent me a family tree time-lined from William and Mary downwards I am trying to find out where William came from, his mother's name, if he had any brother's or sisters, etc. I have a fair bit from Mary's side already. I also would be very interested in talking to any one who knows something about this family line or of course is related. Best regards, Elaine S. Huesing Edmonton, AB, Canada elaine.huesing@shaw.ca

Blairgowrie Advertiser 4th September 1915 page 3 http://www.blairgowrie.pkc.sch.uk/The%20fallen/World%20War%20I/Casualty%20list %20up%20to%20September%201915.htm list of Blairgowrie and Rattray soldiers killed since beginning of WW I, also Blackwater, Coupar Angus, Kirkmichael, the Kettins, Meigle, Strathardle I found a lovely schoolteacher who said she would try and get a copy of the newspaper article. One was a Private James Powrie of the Gordon Highlanders who fell in 1915 in Bellgium. Blairgowrie Advertiser 12th June 1915 page8 http://www.blairgowrie.pkc.sch.uk/The%20fallen/World%20War%20I/indexWW1.htm index If anyone else has access to the first or second page of the casualty list, I would be very grateful to have the information. I think I know who his parents were John Powrie and Jane Goodall of Ward House, Blairgowrie. Sue said it would be when school was back in sesson...she is a school teacher.

Is anyone researching this man? He has thrown up an interesting story. James Auld it seems was born in 1834 either in Newtyle ANS or Kinnoull PER, possible son of Joseph AULD and Elizabeth NEILSON. In 1857 he married Margaret Constable Thomson Adamson Honey KEILLOR...what a mouthful!! in Inchture PER I have her with a child named Georgina PETER in 1881 census. On Georgina's birth in 1875 it states that Margaret is the wife of James AULD who left her and went to America and she never heard from him again. Georgina's father is George PETER. I am on his trail Any US listers out there with a James AULD in their tree? I am interested to know where he went. Margaret states herself as widow in 1881 but it could be that she has just assumed herself so if she had not headr from her husband. She did not remarry Regards Pat Stedman Brisbane, Australia ******************************************** One-name study of Keillor/Keillar/Keiller etc <http://www.users.bigpond.com/kiellor/index.htm> http://www.users.bigpond.com/kiellor/index.htm and for families from Clutton, Somerset <http://www.geocities.com/p_stedman/Index.htm> http://www.geocities.com/p_stedman/Index.htm ********************************************

I haven't got that far back, but I'd be interested to hear if anyone has a connection to David KENNEDY, who married Elizabeth RUTHERFORD in Dull on 1 Sep 1804. At the baptism of a son (also David) in 1809 he was in Lick in the parish of Dull. Thanks, Arthur Kennedy

Re-stating my interest in all JOHNMAN everywhere. Their origin seems to have been in Dunning. I am in touch with a number of researchers descended from branches of this family and will be happy to share information. Between us we have gathered a lot of information, but what I would really like is details of the JOHNMAN family who were probably in the Burghmuir area of Perth in the 1851 census, indeed any JOHNMAN in Perth itself in that census.
