Hi Evelyn & Janine! I'll try & answer both questions. As far as anyone knows, I haven't found any evdidence that this is true but I was told both Petrie & Brown came from the Inverness area. My Petrie was Elizabeth who married George Brown in the 1840's. Elizabeth Petrie was born abt. 1813 & George Brown was abt.1809. I don't know if either of them had siblings or what their parents names were. I'd be happy if that's all I found out. Thanks for your suggestion as well Bruce! Thanks Dave! So far nothing rings any bells. I think there have been a few Brown-Petrie marriages. That might make things harder for me to find what I want. I'll keep trying though. I wouldn't know if your family is also mine as I said above I don't know what relatives were left in Scotland when they came to Canada in the 1840's. Do you have any Brown/Petrie connections in the 1830's or 40's?

What area in Scotland are you looking for your PETRIE's and what are some of the names and dates??

I'll wait until I see if anyone else has suggestions & I'll give some of these sites a try.

My Mum has had success with her side more than my Dad's side.

I suggest trying _www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk_ (http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk) . It is necessary to pay to search for Petrie or any other names there, but there is a good chance of success if you know who it is that you are looking for. Bruce Email: brucearnld@aol.com

Dear George, Sorry for the long delay but Samuel Petrie would appear to be the son of Samuel Petrie and Margaret Dey.

Hi Alistair: your info below sounds very familiar, but I am unable to lay my hands on the data I need to connect. I believe we are connected through a Janet Petrie born Nov 30, 1764 in Hillhead, Monikie, married John Skirling (III) in Monikie Parish, Angus in 1791, and was the first record in the beginning of Scottish record-keeping, i.e. her death record for 1855. Maybe I am dreaming, but you know how you read so many letters and documents and then can't remember where you saw it, but I think that Petrie line ( her parents were James Petrie (b1727) and Margaret Stalker (b 1731, married 1759. Their children were John, Thomas, Janet, James. Does this sound familiar to you? My family history (Sk/tirling and Petrie is researched back to early 1700's, and many mentions of same place names, i.e. Arbroath, Monifieth, St Vigeans. I do not any info on what became of Janet's siblings - do you think we are talking about the same family?

Dear Petrie Researchers I have been looking for information on my GGGfather or who possibly is. My problem is that i do not know if George Petrie is my GGGfather the only information i have is from the IGI where there is a marriage of a George Petrie and Helen Innes which would match with the dates of my GGfathers birth and gives his birth. I have searched Scotland's people but cannot find a birth or death certificate. My Greatgrandfather came down from the Orkney's to Fife and I have a whole load of relatives but did not realise how difficult it would be to trace ancestors. Family names from the Orkneys apart from Petrie would be Work, Groat, Shearer, Mackenzie. I have spoken to a few of you before but have not been on site lately Thanks in advance for any help.

Mick Just read your email properly - you are Jessica's brother in law! How silly of me. Nice to talk to you at last. I am David's Mum. Annette

Mick My son's partner is Jessie Petrie a direct descendent of Andrew Petrie. Her father is still alive and they have a tree and a book about Andrew Petrie and his family and exploits in Qld. He is very well documented. Let's know if you want me to put you in touch with Jessica or her Dad, Bill. Annette in Sydney - whose two little grandsons are in this tree!

Hi Mick As my ancestors are from Kettle, in my research I've come across the names of most Petrie's related and not related. Who were Andrew's parents and when was he born? Thanks Janice Sydney

Hello All, I'm a newcomer to the list: My wife's GGG Grandfather was Andrew Petrie, who hailed from Kettle and made a name for himself in his architectural and exploratory ventures in the Moreton Bay Penal Colony (later, Brisbane). Her GG Grandfather, Tom, was born enroute to Australia, and cut out an existence as a grazier and explorer in the young Colony. Whilst Andrew's family have been well documented in Queensland, we'd be most interested to here from any who might be able to shed any light on the family prior to there emigration from Scotland in 1831, or who's line might be intertwined. I have derived most of my information for pre-1831 from IGI. Kind Regards, Mick Rockhampton, Queensland Australia Thomas Petrie (1831-1910) Elizabeth Campbell (1831 - 1926) Andrew Petrie (1798-1872) Mary Cuthbertson (1796-1855) Walter Petrie (1760- ) Margaret Hutcheson (1770- ) James Petrie (1731- ) Margaret Elder (1735- ) Walter Petrie Mary Wishart

David Thanks for your reply. It looks great until I start doing the sums from the dates and disappointingly they do not correspond with mine, - unless (hopefully) my maths is wrong.. My May PETRIE was born 1828 in Newburgh and married James WHYTE 1850 in Strathmiglo and came to Australia in 1851. Betty (could be short for Elizabeth or Elspeth or somesuch) would have to have been born 1800 - 1813 or thereabouts providing May was one of her first born, but as I can find nothing on Betty and David other than the christening and the marriage of May I do not know if she was an only child or the start or the finish of the family. Very frustrating. Thank you for your effort, it was a bit of a long shot at the best. Annette in Sydney

Hello Annette in Sydney, The following was posted by Norma Thain some time ago. It seems to have some of the elements connected with the "Betty" Petrie you are tracing. Good luck. David Petrie Arden Hills, Minnesota, USA Another entry for possible relatives living on Helen Street also occurs in the 1901 census: "Arbroath 272 Book 26 Page 4; 69 Helen Street, Elizabeth Smith Petrie,, 67 years, head, annuitant, born St. Vigeans; Maggie Petrie, 24 years, flax warper, born St. Vigeans" Elizabeth Smith Petrie of 69 Helen Street, Arbroath appears to me to be Elisabeth Petrie (nee Smith) wife of David Petrie he died in 1882, I cannot fully prove the connection yet, but they did have 1 daughter Margaret Petrie whose age matches with that of the Maggie Petrie who is listed with Elizabeth in the 1901 census. The family including David are also shown in the 1881 census at 1881 ST. VIGEANS (272 d20/p37) David Petrie was the son of David Petrie & Jane Boath of Forfar (aka Jean Boath) Elisabeth was the daughter of Alexander Smith & Barbara Guthrie these details were found in their 1859 marriage certificate. Interestingly though, there is a known family connection between William Petrie/Rachel Beattie of 26 Helen Street, Arbroath & David Petrie/Elisabeth Smith of 69 Helen Street, Arbroath via David's sister Agnes Boath Petrie marrying David Robb, he was son of Marjory Wallace Petrie & James Robb. Marjory Wallace Petrie was the sister of the above William Petrie (spouse Isabel Mill)! These 2 families are connected to the Petrie line of researcher Isobel Jones of Isle of Man, but as far as I am aware she is no longer with the list." [Norma (Petrie) Thain]
