(Street or Park) Thomas Petrie H 45 Sprit Dealer Kinnell Margaret W 29 Montrose Jane D 23 Servent Stracathro Elisabeth D 20 Flax Spinner Stracathro Mary D 16 Flax Spinner Stracathro Margaret D 4 Arbroath Thomas S 18 Hand Flax Drawer Arbroath There are a few ??? on this one and I have no idea who the Thomas age 18 is. Also I think the Margaret and Jane are mixed up. 1861 56 Church Street Thomas Petrie H 52 General Dealer Kinnell Jane W 35 Montrose Margaret D 13 Arbroath 1871 7 Church Street Thomas Petrie H 66 Wood? Kinnell Jean W 48 Montrose I was looking at James and Martha being the parents of David not Thomas, that is if David is the father of Thomas. (I need a beer) In the 1851 find for David in Nigg it noted his birth place as Montrose not Marykirk so a tad sus but all I could find. Thats it I'm going to jump on the mower for an hour or so See Ya All Denis Cheers from [email protected] THE TOP END OF DOWN UNDER HUMPTY DOO NT AUSTRALIA
