Hi Karen and Stephen I knew she ended up a Mrs. Shaw and had two daughters - as my Dad had told me but can you send through the 1881 info on her please? Thing is, all this has a domino effect doesn't it? It's hard to keep up!! On the Board of Health wedding pic, my dad named the woman sitting to the right of Helen Petrie (nee Marshall) as "J/Gemima" - my dad said "a friend of Bella's". That sounds a bit strange to me - was a friend of Bella's likely to be in the wedding pic? I wonder whether that is our Jemima Harris Petrie ........ David Grant Petrie is in the pic, so ............... I also have a pic with my Granny Brodie (older) standing with a Jemima Lawrence. My dad thought she was on the Brodie side and, yes, there was a Jemima Brodie but I'll try to get a copy of this photograph and see how you think it compares with this younger Jemima in the wedding group. It might be something to keep at the back of your mind, just in case. I also wondered why my Granny Brodie wasn't there in the wedding group but the family was living in Broughty Ferry at that time so it might not have been that easy for her to drag the young family there.

Thanks again Heather So Catherine was 17 when she had Jemima! She was married to a Mr Shaw by 1881, and had 2 more children by him. The question is - was the father the son of the family (James Harris,age 17 at the time of Jemima's birth) or the head (George Harris, age 46 at the time of Jemima's birth)?? I don't suppose we shall find out. 17 was a wee bit young for those days - but you never know!! It is also a question of "like mother (Catherine) like daughter (Jemima)"- as she had David when she was 21. I do like the way that then fathers were named by using the surname as a middle name. Pityb that they didn't admit it by being on the birth certificate. Of course, this was way before the Child Support Agency!

Hi there - in particular Karen and Stephen Remember Catherine? She had daughter Jemima HARRIS Petrie in 1873, who in turn was mother to David Grant Petrie. Don't know why I haven't done this before but I wondered where she was in 1871 ..... but perhaps you have already thought of it though! So ..... I found her in the parish of Rattray - being a General Servant to the Harris family! Surprise, surprise! The location is 'Glenballoch', up the Bonnington road out of New Rattray - on the modern map it is called 'Kynballoch'. The entry is: George Harris Head Mar 44 Farmer of 200 acres employing 3 men/2 boys/2 women bn Rattray Helen Harris Wife Mar 40 Farmer's wife bn Glenisla, Forfarshire James Harris Son Unm 15 Farmers Son bn Perthshire, Rattray Isabella H Daug 14 " Daug ditto John H Son 12 Scholar ditto Jane H Daug 11 " ditto Betsy H " 9 " ditto Jessie H " 7 " ditto Margaret H " 5 " ditto William H Son 3 ditto Duncan H " 1 ditto Margaret McKenzie Servant Unm 21 Dairy Maid bn Forfarshire, Inver?

Hi Bruce, Don't know any Scottish ones but here's an Irish one I used at my son's wedding to impress my wife's Irish family. "May you both be buried together in beautiful coffins made from 100 year old oak trees that were planted yesterday." Dave Petrie

Hi Gavin I would agree, the two dates would suggest either that the Marriage Banns were read on 31 December 1849 and the Marriage took place on 12 January 1850, or that both dates were the Marriage banns being read in their respective parishes in Dunfermline. A check of the original Old Parish Record entries (if they are still available) would clarify. I have a transcription of Christian Petrie's death certificate from 1886 ..... Death Certificate Ref: 1886 BALLINGRY, Fife Page 12 Entry 34 (source: Scottish Records Office) CHRISTINA FOX married to FRANCIS FOX - Coal Miner died 16 December 1886 at 3.30 am at Lumphinnans Age 61 years Parents: WILLIAM PETRIE - Coal Miner (Mother Not Named) Cause of Death: Jaundice (Obstruction) - 14 days Death registered by WILLIAM FOX, Son on 16 December 1886 @ Ballingry. ****************** It is a pity that her mother is not named on the death cert, I have checked my database and can find no trace of a Christian or Christine/a born with a father William between 1820/1830....although if new OPR records have come to light recently....she may be found yet, also Census records might help giving details of her birthplace. To date I know of 3 children for Francis & Christian, but only the 2 boys appear in the IGI's.... James Fox b. 1850 Francis Fox b.1852 Helen Fox b. c1857 We already know that Christian Petrie & Francis Fox's daughter HELEN FOX went on to marry DAVID PETRIE in 1879 at Ballingry ( I have a transcription of the Marriage Certificate, let me know if you need it) DAVID was b.1858 the son of your WILLIAM PETRIE & MARION FYFE Also I was most interested to find that another Petrie couple from Dunfermline had named their child FRANCIS FOX PETRIE... which strongly indicates a possible family connection, perhaps you have looked into this already ?? I have not made the family link yet, but would be most pleased to find out what it is.... FRANCIS FOX PETRIE (aka Frank Petrie) born 23rd March 1867 @ Halbeath, Dunfermline of JAMES PETRIE & JANET SIMPSON he married MARGARET JAMIESON and died in 1940 aged 73 years (I have his death cert transcription, let me know if you need it) in Cowdenbeath, Fife The above JAMES PETRIE & JANET SIMPSON also married in 1850 in Dunfermline, and I wonder if he might be a brother of the above CHRISTIAN PETRIE....?? But I have not yet found his death certificate to discover who his parents were. James & Janet have 11 children recorded in the IGI.... and another 1 (George) shows up in the 1881 census. Janet White Petrie b. 1848 James Petrie b.1854 Thomas Petrie b. 1856 Andrew Petrie b. 1858 John Petrie b. 1860 Elizabeth Petrie b. 1862 William Petrie b. 1864 Francis Fox Petrie b. 1867 Isabella Simpson Petrie b. 1869 Richard Beveridge Petrie b. 1871 William Petrie b. 1874 George Petrie b. 1876 all born Dunfermline.... However we have to be careful with the family records for JAMES PETRIE & JANET SIMPSON, as their was another couple with exact same names who married in 1868 and were having kids in the early 1870's too.....but they were in Dundee !!! I also note that your William Petrie & Marion Fyfe had named a daughter JANET SIMPSON PETRIE in 1856.... so the children's names tie the families together, we just need to unravel the knots !!! :o) Hope some of the above is of interest.... any further info or queries would be most welcome. bibi Norma ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gavin W Petrie" <gavinwp@ihug.co.nz> To: <petrie-scotland@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, November 02, 2006 4:05 AM Subject: [PETRIE-SCOTLAND] Christian PETRIE m.

Hi there Now ......... if I get a stampede from this offer, please accept that I cannot promise to do every request :-) I make it in good faith and will do my best. Next Monday for 3 days, Malcolm and I will go across the Channel - we go to visit Ljissenthoek Cemetery (Belgium), Vermelles Cemetery (near Loos, France) plus The Guards Memorial and The Thiepval Memorial on the Somme. If you have anyone buried/commemorated at these locations - do you want a photograph taken? It's not the same as going yourself, granted, but one of you may be glad of a pic if you do not have one already. Grave/Thiepval Pier locations to accompany names please? ........ otherwise Malcolm will be driven bonkers :-) Bye for now Heather _________________________________________________________________ Be the first to hear what's new at MSN - sign up to our free newsletters! http://www.msn.co.uk/newsletters

Hello Norma Christian PETRIE m Francis FOX I wonder if you have any additional information on this couple? From details in your PETRIE database, and the IGI, they were married on 31 Dec 1849 in Dunfermline. However, some other details have come to light, suggesting they were married on 12 Jan 1850 in Dunfermline. I guess one date could have been the males parish and the other date the females parish. Any comments appreciated.

Dear Derek, Thanks for replying. I was delighted to read your information. It would be great if you have any other information and/ or photos! I am looking for all the links between the two Petrie lines from Kirkmichael. I was at Hazel's house last night and she jokingly mentioned DNA testing. My husband Stephen is from the other Petrie line and he is willing to be a guinea pig(!!!) and be tested! All we need now is a volunteer from your line and we may be able to finally see if the two lines are indeed from one original family. I don't know how to organise it but will look into it! I find all the family tree work fascinating - so many "coincidences". It's strange that you mentioned South Littleton farm. It was also the birthplace of Stephen's grandfather on the other side of the family. Strange how things turn out.

I have a photo of a Blairgowrie football team from the early 20th century which has pictures of Robert and I think John in it. Alexander died serving with the Black Watch in South Africa in 1901 and is commemorated on the Black Watch Memorial on the Mound in Edinburgh and on a plaque in Rattray Kirk. Sadly he died of enteric fever while witing to come home. Even sadder, John died of enteric fever, after drinking water from a burn while working on a local farm. Ironically, I think it may actually have been the same farm which hosted the big Petrie Ceilidh a couple of years ago. I can find out more if you're interested.

Thanks for that Derek, It would be difficult for me Derek - as I don't have a scanner :-) ha ha We have just bought a new digital camera and I have been playing about with it and there's been no stopping me!! In the past I had to ask my son-in-law but I have found success with digitally photographing the old pics and putting them on the computer - so far so good. I think I shall have to have a search for Moira's details, when I can.

Hi Jennifer Thanks ..... I looked on my old map and found Dalnaglar so I know exactly where that is now :-) Thanks for pointing me straight re the church in Glenshee. I've not found Robertina's death either! A bit of idle info ........... if you haven't got it:- In the 1851 Census for Rattray Alex Petrie born 1815 is unmarried, a grocer - living at Westfields NEXT door to brother James Petrie (bn 1819m) wife Christina Low and family. Also with Alex is sister Elizabeth and cousin Jane Petrie 17yrs. Would this be a daughter of their Uncle Robert bn 1796? I have a Janet and/or a Jean bn 1832? Any thoughts?

Thanks for that Derek You couldn't post your Petrie Rattray Photographs on the site could you? I wonder whether I can identify any of them within my pics. I had some info through - many moons ago from Moira who is descended from David bn 1897 (4 in 1901). Do you know her? As is often the case with myself, unforeseen occurences (healthwise) meant I've not communicated for ages now.

Hi Heather, I was up there today and I looked for my camera before I left but couldn't find it. Glenshee church is not the one you are thinking about - it is further up the glen. It is the one at the Spittal of Glenshee. You go over the old General Wade bridge just past the hotel and the church and graveyard are on the left hand side. It's a beautiful place but I can tell you, it was absolutely freezing today! There's snow up there already! Next time I'm there I'll make sure I've got the camera!

He lived to his mid 90's and died around 1982. All of his generation and the next generation had the middle name Yeaman. This is now a very large family with members still in Rattray. I have a photo of a Blairgowrie football team from the early 20th century which has pictures of Robert and I think John in it. Alexander died serving with the Black Watch in South Africa in 1901 and is commemorated on the Black Watch Memorial on the Mound in Edinburgh and on a plaque in Rattray Kirk.
