Hello again Marti! Welcome to the Petrie list!! :0) This is the family of Charles Petrie POWRIE in 1881 Dwelling: 41 Rossie St Census Place: St Vigeans, Forfar, Scotland Source: FHL Film 0203474 GRO Ref Volume 272 EnumDist 22 Page 5 Marr Age Sex Birthplace Elizabeth POWRIE W 68 F Arbroath, Forfar, Scotland Rel: Head May POWRIE U 40 F Arbroath, Forfar, Scotland Rel: Dau Occ: Reeler (Flax Mill) Helen POWRIE U 29 F Arbroath, Forfar, Scotland Rel: Dau Occ: Power Loom Canvas Weaver Charles P. POWRIE 9 M Arbroath, Forfar, Scotland Rel: Grdson Occ: Scholar You will see that his grandmother was a widow, aged 68. His mother would probably have been either May or Helen - each unmarried in 1881. You will need to get proof of this, such as a birth certificate. This MAY show the father's name. The chances are that - as the "P" stood for "Petrie", this would be the father's surname. Norma may have some details of him on her database, if you can name him! Good luck!
