Hi Patricia, I definitely think this is worth following up further, as you say so many co-incidences....within the names, in correct time frame and area. I note in your line that the Mowat grandmother's maiden name was Fettes. And Arthur is not a common name amongst the Petrie's, which helps when looking for "potential" family connections. I checked the 1881 Kincardine Petrie census info which we have in the Filing Cabinet of our Petrie-Scotland website, and see that it names a further three daughters who we have been unaware of for Arthur Petrie & Margaret Mowat.... !!! :o) Her death certificate from 1914 will confirm her parents, but I feel sure your on the right track.... :o) Do let us know if you discover more....
