This is my first contact with the list, so I'd like to say hello to everyone. I am a one finger typist who doesn't own a computer so my daughter has kindly agreed to type this out for me, although all replies will come to my emailer ([email protected]). I'd like to pass on the following information on our PETRIE connections. Elizabeth Ann Petrie (my husbands mother) was born at Drumoak, Aberdeenshire on 9/2/1898. She married Robert Cook at the Gordon Arms Hotel, Culter on 31/3/1917. Elizabeth (Petrie) Cook died in Aberdeen in January 1972. Elizabeth's parents were George Petrie (b 11/9/1863 at Craig just south of Montrose) and Isabella Hunter Alexander (b 29/1/1859 at Drumoak). They married at Drumoak on 12/12/1884. George Petrie died 18/12/1937 in Aberdeen and his wife Isabella (Alexander) Petrie died 21/12/1918 in Aberdeen. George and Isabella's family were:- James B c1886 at Drumoak Isabella B c1888 at Glenbervie George B c1889 at Arbuthnott Mary B c1890 at Arbuthnott. Apart from Elizabeth (B 9/2/1898) there was also Janet, William, May, Margaret, Robert and Twins (believed to have died in infancy) but I have no details on any of them yet. George (B c1889 Arbuthnott) emigrated to Brooks, Alberta, Canada in the early 1910s and died there sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s. We have two small photographs of him taken beside what looks like a war memorial, but have no further information on his life in Canada. Has anyone come across him in their "digging" travels? The parents of George Petrie (B c1837 Durris) were James Petrie (B c1837 at Durris) and Agnes Duncan (B c1829 at Durris). They married at Kineff on 25/11/1859. Their family were:- Alexander B 24/6/1860 at St Cyrus James B 19/2/1862 at Cookney George B 11/9/1863 at Craig. James Petrie had died in July 1863 just two months before his last son was born. The parents of James Petrie (B c1837 Durris) were William Petrie and possibly Isabel Gordon. The couple also had a daughter Margaret B 21/9/1834, but were not married. William Petrie eventually married a Marjorie Grieve on 8/11/1839 at Bervie, Kincardineshire. Their family were:- Alexander B 22/3/1841 William B 8/4/1844 George B 18/4/1846 Elisabeth B 13/12/1849 Sarah Taylor Niddrie B 22/12/1852 (These children were recorded at Gourdon in the OPRs of Bervie) Bye for now.

Hello Ella, I was so pleased to notice your connections, I have followed up this line previously on behalf of another researcher who used to be a member of this list...Merle Stone from Australia, Merle has moved on now to other surnames in her tree, but I know she will delighted to hear from you, her e.mail address is [email protected] Merle's g.grandmother was Sarah Taylor Niddrie Petrie b.1852 I have the same info as yourself on the family of James Petrie & Agnes Dunn married 1859, and have transcriptions of their marriage certificate and James's death certificate, I suspect you have these already, but if not just let me know I'll be pleased to pass them on. It is sad to note that he died of Scarlet Fever in 1863 - 2 months before his youngest son was born, he was only 26. His death certificate acknowledged that he was illegitimate, his mother noted on this document as Isabella Gordon (aka Isabel Gordon), however on his marriage certificate to Agnes in 1859 he stated his mother was Marjory Grieve.... one of those family situations !! Anyway it all helped us work out that William had gone on to marry Marjory Grieve (aka May Grieve) too. We had also found the daughter Margaret Petrie born 1834 to William & Isabel, I have a baptism date for her of 28 September 1834 @ Durris. I have a few certificate transcriptions for the children of William Petrie & May Grieve, and baptism dates sourced from the IGI for: Alexander Petrie baptised 11 April 1841 @ Bervie William Pettrie baptised 21 April 1844 @ Bervie The child George born 18 April 1846 @ Bervie had a middle name according to IGI, he was George Spence Petrie....I have same dates as you for Elisabeth b. 1849 & Sarah b.1852 Here are transcriptions of certificates relevant to some of these children which may be of use to you....
