Hi Stephen, Delighted to hear that you publicised the Gathering in the journal of the Aberdeen and North East Scotland Family History Society. And will look forward to any enquiries which come forth. I was unaware of a daughter named Jeannie b. 1849 for this couple as her birth is not listed in the IGI, so any further information this related researcher can supply on this family would be most welcome. I have Thomas Petrie's death certificate and that of his son, who unfortunately died within months of each other, please pass these on if you can.... Death Certificate Ref: 1858 INVERNESS Page 7 Entry 21 (source Scottish Records Office) THOMAS PETRIE Shoemaker Married died 09 January 1858 at 7.00 pm at 69 Castle Street, Inverness aged 68 years Parents: JOHN PETRIE - Vintner - deceased JANE PETRIE ms REID - deceased Cause of Death: Stomach Complaint (4 months) - No Medical Attendant Buried at Chapel Yard of Inverness Death registered by CHRISTY PETRIE (her X mark), Widow on 15 January 1858 at Inverness ******* Death Certificate Ref: 1858 INVERNESS Page 48 Entry 143 (source Scottish Records Office) THOMAS PETRIE died 01 May 1858 at 11.30 am at Poors House, Inverness age 6 years Parents: THOMAS PETRIE - Shoemaker - deceased CHRISTY PETRIE ms TUACH Cause of Death: Pneumonia (3 days) Buried: Chapel Yard of Inverness Death registered by J. Walker, Matron, Poors House, on 06 May 1858 at Inverness ******* As we can see from the above information the father Thomas Petrie was elderly when he died, we know he married Christina Tuach in 1847, and so I wonder if perhaps this might have been a second marriage ...?? Unfortunately the 1858 death certificates did not name current or previous spouses, unless as in this case the spouse registered the death, but 1841 census might hold some useful clues ?? Burial Records/Gravestone at Chapel Yard Cemetery might provide further family information too, if they have survived.... The unfortunate demise of 6 year old Thomas in the Poor House, leaves us to assume that this family met hard times after the death of their father.... On Thomas Petrie (snr's) parents, John Petrie (aka Patrie) & Jane Reid (aka Jean Reid & Jean Reed & Jean Read) I know of the marriage & 7 children for this couple, all took place in Inverness and sourced from IGI ...no further details found yet on any of them other than the above Thomas. MARRIAGE JOHN PATRIE/JEAN REED 18 JULY 1767 Known Children... HUGH PETRIE baptised 22 APRIL 1768 JAMES PETRIE baptised 07 MAY 1770 WILLIAM PETRIE baptised 15 NOVEMBER 1776 MARGARET PETRIE baptised 12 MARCH 1779 ELIZABETH PETRIE baptised 03 FEBRUARY 1783 KATHERINE PETRIE born 21 FEBRUARY 1785 THOMAS PETRIE baptised 04 SEPTEMBER 1787 Hope it's useful meantime.
