Hi Colleen, Thanks for this, if anyone follows up Mr. Rix's interests, it would be nice to find out his particular Petrie connections.... :o) As far as I am aware we do not have any of the researchers attached to June Gale's....Petrie/Birrell line on the Mailing List at the moment.. Gaye Leech was with us, but as luck would have it she has recently unsubscribed....However from the family tree Gaye had submitted to me she listed 7 children for Helen Petrie & James Birrell, she has detailed.... ELLEN (Helen) Petrie b 24 June 1812 Kumback marr. James BIRRELL Ceres/Wemyss, Fife, Scotland 14 May 1836 (ref.IGI M114157 & M114599) Their children James b. 23 Oct 1838 Scotland Isabella (born at sea 28 Apr 1840) ANNE HEAN b. 3 June 1842 NSW Australia Thomas b. 17 Feb 1844 " " Euphamie b. 30 Jan 1846 " Robert b. 27 Dec 1847 d. 14 Aug 1849 Robert b. 4 Oct 1849 Gaye's e.mail address [email protected] I also know of another researcher who has connections with this line, I found her details on some other website but I have not corresponded with her yet....
