I find from the database info that the James & Christina who are listed with their 3 children, are James Petrie & Christina Low (Stephen's line). With the others Alexander age 33, Elisabeth age 30 and Jane age 17...it would be interesting to see the full entry as I wonder if they may all be siblings ?? The address might help make a match too.... Points to ponder !!!..... :o) I spotted Robert Petrie & Janet Stewart have a daughter Jean born 1832, she did not marry until 1859 and she had a sister Elisabeth who never married and a brother Alexander (no further details on him) although the ages all appear to be out by 2/3 years...could it have been a deliberate act or bad arithmetic on the part of the householder ?? Just a thought ..... :o) I also had a quick look again at the potential links of John Petrie & Betty Robertson with Alexander Petrie & Annie Robertson all of Kirkmichael..... could they be brothers ?? and it's interesting they both married Robertson girls....(just to make matters worse .....could the wives have been sisters ??) In the database I noticed a George Petrie & Unnamed Mother had 2 sons Alexander b. 1757 & John b. 1761 baptised in Collace....could this be a link worth following up further ?? And a Peter Petrie & Unnamed Mother had a son Alexander born in 1763 in Abernethy, with no further children recorded for him until 1774...possibly another case of missing birth records for any children born in between ??
