Hi Murray & Clare Thanks for your hard work wandering around graveyards. The below Mary Fettes Petrie - I wonder if this is Margaret Fettes Petrie daughter of Arthur Petrie and Margaret Mowat. She was born about 1871 according to 1881 census. Are the names Margaret and Mary interchangeable? The fact that one of her sons was Arthur makes me wonder as does the "Fettes" as Margaret's Grandmother was Ann Fiddes. And one of her daughters died in New Zealand!! There are too many coincidences. I would appreciate a picture - thanks. Norma, what do you think? regards Patricia Taggart -----Original Message----- From: Clare & Murray Nicoll [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, 27 May 2001 5:47 a.m. To: [email protected] Subject: [Petrie-Scotland] Kincardine Inscriptions Hi Gang Clare and I had a day out wandering the graveyards of Kincardineshire.
