Hello Gavin & Janice & George Many thanks for sharing your Petrie info, and also for the death registration details for WILLIAM PETRIE and additional info on ROBERT M. PETRIE, it all helps tie them together in the database. I have noted below death certificate details I have for MARGARET PETRIE ms WHITE. and I also discovered I had the birth certificate details for WILLIAM PETRIE child of ROBERT MELDRUM PETRIE & ANNIE PEGGIE and have included this below too. I would be most interested to receive any further BMD details you have on the Petrie's. Please do let me know of any BMD's after 1855 that you may still require for your Petrie's and I shall be pleased check my database to see if I have transcribed them from SRO Death Certificate Ref: 1862 KETTLE Page 15 Entry 43 (source Scottish Records Office) MARGARET PETTRIE wife of WILLIAM PETTRIE - Hand Loom Linen Weaver died 28 November 1862 at 8.00 pm at Bankton Park, Parish of Kettle age 40 years Parents: GEORGE WHITE - Agricultural Labourer ELSPETH WHITE ms HAIG Cause of Death: Phthisis (upwards of a year) Death registered by WILLIAM PETRIE - Husband on 02 December 1862 @ Kettle. ********* Birth Certificate Ref: 1884 KETTLE, Fife Page 12 Entry 34 (source Scottish Records Office) WILLIAM PETRIE born 27 May 1884 at 7.00 am at Kettle Parents: ROBERT MELDRUM PETRIE - Gardener ANNIE PETRIE ms PEGGIE (married 16 June 1882 @ Kettle) Birth registered by ROBERT M.

Hi Gavin, I've replied via the website just in case Norma and George are interested in the information. You're correct, Robert Meldrum PETRIE died in 1890. Marriage: He married Ann PEGGIE 16 June 1882 at Kettle, Fife Scotland Children: They had 3 children (as far as I'm aware:) Twin boys born 06 June 1882 at Kettle, Fife - 1 twin who was not named at birth, died on 07 June, 1882 at Kettle. The 2nd twin, named Robert, died 03 July 1882. William (the 3rd son) born 27 May 1884 at Kettle Fife. As per your previous email, William PETRIE married Margaret DUFF and they had a son Robert Meldrum Petire in 1905. I also have details of deaths for Elspeth, John and George PETRIE - the other children of William PETRIE and Margaret WHITE. If anyone wants the images from SP for any of the above BDM or for the death of William PETRIE in 1891, let me know and I'll email them to you. Best wishes Janice

Hi Norma, Gavin and Janet, thanks for showing me where the Petries were in Kettle in the 1881 census, I knew that there was wrong spelling! but I would not have found PEETREE. On the Image that I have from Scotlands People of the Janet Wilkie ms White death certificate, her mothers name is definately STAIG, the registrar, Robert Kay's writing is very clear, incidentaly he appears in my ALLAN / BEVERIDGE side of my family, it is a small world, if anyone wants a copy I can let them have it, this is the one where Robert PETRIE, Nephew is the informant, I also note the other children, they are possibly difficult to find in Familysearch because of the Haig / Staig spelling. My Fathers mother, Janet Allan lived at Kettle prior to coming to Edinburgh about 1890, I believe that Allan family members stiill live in Freuchie. Thanks for all your help Regards George

Hi Jennifer Just had a quick look on the NSW BDM's site and found there were 25 deaths from 1755-1975 with the name William Petrie 18 marriages from 1788-1955 Several mentions of William Petrie who wrote letters to Sir William Banks when I googled William Petrie. From there if you google William Petrie+Australia you will possibly come up withthe same results I got. If you want to access the BDM's site just google NSW BDM's Annette in cowra NSW

Hi Jennifer, It will depend when your Wiliam PETRIE died and what date, as to whether there will be any information on the Australian BDM websites. As far as I'm aware., only NSW and Victoria have online indexes and I have listed the dates. NSW - deaths December 1975 or earlier VICTORIA - deaths December 1985 or earlier. If of any interest, I can send you the links but they're easy to find anyway.

Hello Norma Thank you for the information. I did not have the marriage details for William and Margaret, or the death details for Margaret, so thanks for that. I would appreciate a transcript of the cert. Regarding Margaret WHITE's mother, my source was the IGI. They also spell the fathers surname as WYHTE. I agree with your details of the children. I have slotted Elspeth in, between Robert and John. Regarding William PETRIE, I have the following from his death registration. Death William PETRIE Retired Farm Servant Widower of Margaret WHITE Died - 9 Dec 1891 11 H 15m A.M. Village of Kettle, Kettle Male - 70 years Father - John PETRIE Hand Loom Linen Weaver (Deceased) Mother - Isabella PETRIE M.S INGLIS (Deceased) Cause of death - Influenza - 8 days; Neuralgia; Chronic Rheumatism - 10 years; As certified by James M BELL. M, D, ?. Informant - George PETRIE, son, New Road, Bannockburn. Registered - December 11th, 1891, at Kettle. Registrar - James CELLARS. (Source - SRO Death Registration - Ref: KETTLE 1891, Page 11, Entry No. 33.) I have a copy of the registration, if you would like it. Regarding Robert Meldrum PETRIE. I have his death date as 29 Jul 1890 in Kettle, Fife, Scotland. I received it in a Descendant Report I received from Joyce HILL via the SCT-FIFE list. So far I have not been able to confirm the information myself. In addition, I have a birth registration, for a Robert Meldrum PETRIE, bn. to William PETRIE and Maggie Easter Stormount ? PETRIE, nee DUFF, on 3 Feb 1905. At this stage I am not able to connect his parents into my tree. I have a suspicion that William PETRIE could be the son of the elder Robert Meldrum PETRIE, above. The above Descendant Report, starts with the marriage of John PETRIE and Isabella INGLIS on 26 Jan 1821, who are the parents of William PETTRIE and Margaret WHITE, below. Cheers for now.

Hi there David (Geneaolgy) I would be so grateful if you could give me some more information on the Strathgarry Petries. I have down the children of Alexander Petrie and Joan Douglas, but there are a lot of gaps. I don't have any info on Alexander Stewart Petrie, Hinton, Charles or Alistair Petrie and the info I have on the rest in sketchy. These were my grandfather's first cousins. I was talking to Elma Cochrane last week ( grandchild of James and Susan Petrie) and she remembers Hinton being called "Hinty" and Margaret Mary who was killed in an accident. She thought it was a horse and cart accident, but I have it down here as a motor accident. If you could help in any way, I would be very grateful. Stephen PS My nephew is also Alexander Stewart Petrie, and my daughter is Georgina Petrie ( same I think as your grandmother) - strange how things turn out!

Hello Kit It's great to be back and in touch with everyone again.... :o) I am delighted to read that you have found your Petrie connection in Bathgate, and I had a look at your family tree in our Petrie website.... did you find the relevant info from your Great Grandfathers Canadian death cert ? The details I have on the database for ALEXANDER PETRIE & JESSIE DUNCAN are mostly from the IGI noting their marriage in 1847 in Bathgate and the births of 6 children... from 1855 - 1866 and although your WILLIAM is not amongst them, the gap in births from 1847 through to 1855 and your findings does suggest that there may have been a number of other children for this couple who are not recorded in the IGI's. If you do not have the above family info please let me know, I'd be pleased to pass it on. It's worth noting that 1855 was the start of Birth, Marriage & Death registration in Scotland and only from then on were they obliged to officially register the birth of a child I do have a little information that you can add to your Petrie of Bathgate info.... one of William's brothers died as a baby...... this information gives you an address in Bathgate & and burial info that might be worth following up..... Death Certificate Transcription 1857 BATHGATE Page 50 Entry 150 (source Scottish Records Office) JAMES PETRIE died 28 November 1857 at 7.15 pm age 4 months Single at Whitburn Road, Bathgate Parents : ALEXANDER PETRIE - Master Plasterer JESSIE PETRIE ms DUNCAN Cause of Death: Not Certified Buried at Old Churchyard, Bathgate Death registered by ALEXANDER PETRIE (Father) ******* Amongst the children recorded for ALEXANDER & JESSIE, I can see they went on to have another son in 1863 who they also called JAMES. Hope some of the above is of interest. bibi norma ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kit Timmons" <scrap4heritage@msn.com> To: "PETRIE-SCOTLAND-L" <PETRIE-SCOTLAND-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 4:39 PM Subject: [PETRIE-SCOTLAND] "My" Petries > Hello to all - and a very special welcome back to Norma!

Hello everyone, I am wondering how we find out if people went abroad? I have a few "missing " people who just disappear from all the records, census reports, etc. The only thing I can think of is that they have moved away to Australia, America or Canada. I know one of my Petries moved to Australia - William Petrie - but I am having difficulty finding anything on him. Does anyone know how to access his records in Australia? If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful. Thanks, Jennifer Petrie

Hello George & Gavin & Janice, I was most interested to read of your connections, and have some further information which might be useful to you. Marriage 24 November 1848 WILLIAM PETTRIE & MARGARET WHITE at DAIRSIE, Fife (source IGI) Their Family is listed in 1861 census at Kettle (Ref: district 4 page 16) I have William's occupation listed at various times.... 1861 Ploughman (at time of census) 1862 Hand Loom Linen Weaver (at time of his wife's death) 1890 Ploughman (at time of his son George's marriage) His wife MARGARET WHITE died 28 November 1862 aged 40 years (source SRO Death Cert. Ref : KETTLE 1862 Entry No.43 ) (I have a full transcription of her death certificate from SRO...please just let me know if you want a copy of it ) Although I have noted her mothers name as Elspeth HAIG which differs from Gavin's info (perhaps due to curly handwriting) :o) I have 5 children listed for this couple with birth, marriage & death details for some of them....please just let me know if you want further details for any of them. Elspeth Petrie born ....? Robert Petrie born c 1850 John Petrie born c1855 Margaret Petrie born 24 Aug 1857 George Petrie born 20 March 1860 I found the details of Elspeth when she registered her brother John's death in 1866 ..... this suggests to me that she may have been his older sister...and highlights the gaps in births in this family between 1850 & 1855.... I think we may yet find more children for this couple whose births were not listed in IGI. Gavin... I notice you have a death date for William Petrie (1891) and for Robert Meldrum Petrie (1890) presumably from their death certs.... I would be most interested to receive the details if you would be willing to pass them on. Hope some of the above is of interest. bibi norma ----- Original Message ----- From: "George N Henderson" <henderson57@paradise.net.nz> To: "Petrie-Scotland" <Petrie-Scotland@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 3:04 AM Subject: [PETRIE-SCOTLAND] Petrie and White > Hi > This is my second attempt to send this message, I hope that it goes this > time using the new address, I was also able the get back into the Petrie > web page using some lateral thinking! good to see Norma back, and > the list stirred into action > > > On the Wilkie side of my family I have Thomas WILKIE married to Janet > WHITE (WHYTE) at Cupar, Fife, 31 Dec 1858, Janet had a sister, > Margaret WHITE who married William PETRIE, date and place unknown, they > had a son Robert PETRIE, poss b about 1850, who was the informant at the > death of his aunt, Janet WILKIE nee WHITE at Kingskettle on the 20 Sept > 1878.

Hello Paula Many thanks for sharing your Petrie information with us, I do know of this family and the problem in connecting it back to Scotland...I'm afraid I have not found or heard of any success on that yet. I received the details of this family from Deborah Petrie (mpetrie@telusplanet.net) although I am not sure whether that address is still current for her it goes way back to 2000 since we last corresponded . Her husband was a direct descendant of John Henry Petrie & Ann Neering She was in the same situation as you with her research, and without Isobelle's maiden name or George's place of birth it is very difficult to pin them down. However I had looked at this extensively way back in 1997 and sent the undernoted e.mail message to Deborah at that time... it might give you some leads worth following up.... Meanwhile I will check in my database for any further info that might eliminate some of those listed below. ----- Original Message ----- From: "norma thain" <norma.thain@virgin.net> To: "Deborah & Mark Petrie" <mpetrie@mail.island.net> Sent: Monday, December 15, 1997 7:49 PM Subject: PETRIE > Hi Deborah, > > Sorry I have taken so long to reply...I have been caught up in this > christmas madness...I try to get everything done and organised for a > week before so we can all just RELAX over the christmas week !

Hi Norma and others No, I have not missed any mail, as I did check the archives. It was the sudden stop of mail that made me wonder. However, all seems to be working OK. I noted that we had 2 mails in August, but 123 in September. Which is the most mails since September 2000. Just shows the increase in activity over the last few weeks. I have lots of information on PETRIE's in Fife, if anybody is interested. Regards Gavin PS. Thanks David for having a look at the Fife Death Index.

Hello Bill, I do have a William James Petrie in my Petrie line but don't think he is yours. It is interesting that my William James Petrie (b. 1871 Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada m. Eliza Graves 1906 d. 1936 Princeton, Maine. Head foreman for the Great Northern Pulp and Paper Company in Maine) was in the Pulp and Paper industry. While he died in Princeton, Maine in 1936, any of his Petrie relatives in the Maine Pulp and Paper industry would have been naturals to move to the Pacific Northwest with good job prospects in the lumber industry there. My William James Petrie was the son of David Petrie, the brother of my great grandfather, and the individual who left Scotland and started the Canadian branch of my Petrie line. David Petrie b. 4 May 1839 St.Cyrus, Kincardineshire, Scotland ch. 19 May 1839 "Dumbarrow Mill", Dunnichen Parish, Angus, Scotland m. Mary Ann Smallwood 1870 Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada d. 1919. David's birth certificate: father's occupation shown as "Labourer". 1841 census for St. Vigeans: age 2, address Cairnbennet, St. Vigeans, Angus. 1851 Census: "Craig Forfar/Bk?/P50/Ent230/Ferryden Farm - Servant House. David Petrie/son/um/12/Farm Labourer/ [born]Dunnichen". David leaves for military service in the British Army at age 16. Two years later David goes to India where he serves through the Indian Mutiny after which he is sent to Canada. He is given his choice to return to England or to be mustered out in Canada, David chooses to stay in Canada. He marries Mary Ann Smallwood in 1870 at Amherst, Nova Scotia and starts the Canadian branch of Petrie cousins. “David and Mary moved to New Brunswick after having their kids.” [The Rev'd. Stephen Petrie - great grandson of David] ". . . two large groups of Scottish families, from in and around Aberdeen, left there in 1873 and 1874 headed for New Brunswick, Canada. My family migrated, at some point, to Maine. The Scottish settlement in New Brunswick is called the "Scotch" Colony and is composed of Kincardine, Stonehaven, Upper and Lower Kintore, and Bon Accord. Most of the first group in 1873 were from Stonehaven and in 1874 were from Kintore and area. . . There is a book entitled A History of the Scotch Colony, Victoria County, New Brunswick 1873-1998.." [Barbara Petrie Sanborn] From Mary Gunn-Smallwood's work "He was a stone cutter by trade (they must have had child labour in those days). At sixteen years of age he enlisted in the British Army and two years later was sent to India where he served through the Indian Mutiny. From India he was sent with others from his regiment to Saint John, New Brunswick and thence to Fredericton where they were quartered in a church for the winter. In the spring after being sent to Halifax, Nova Scotia he was given a choice of returning to Scotland or receiving his discharge. He took his discharge and went to work on the Intercolonial Railway then being constructed and on which he worked all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Matapedia, New Brunswick near the Quebec border where stone bridges were being built. He helped construct the bridges across the Northwest and Southwest Miramichi Rivers. A few years before he died he was the recipient, at a public meeting in Newcastle, New Brunswick of a memorial trophy made from the copper of Lord Nelson's famous ship. To go back a bit, in the year 1879 a new settlement called "Sugary Settlement" was opened up approximately six miles from Newcastle, New Brunswick. and extending about five miles. The name Sugary came from the number of sugar maples. David and Mary Ann were among the settlers that year. By that time they had four boys, besides Mary Ann's two from her first marriage. [My records say her first husband was Neal Camble and she had two son's by him but the record also say's that the boys went my the name of Petrie. - Joyce Tuckerman] They later had another boy and last of all a daughter - my [Mary Gunn-Smallwood] mother." Hope this helps, Dave Petrie Arden Hills, Minnesota, USA
