Hi John sorry I didn't get back to you on Thursday but ending up working for a few hours that night. Did you read Norma's email. She had send me the same info some time ago on Archibald and Jane's marriage. John Petrie was the son of John & Isabella Linay. Their 3 children that I know of were Janet, Feb. 16, 1782, John, Aug. 31, 1783 & Peter, Dec. 1, 1788. John & Isabella were married apr. 6, 1781 John Petrie & Jessie Foubister were married Jan. 9, 1812 and their children were John, Aug. 14, 1814, Peter, Feb. 12, 1815, Euphinia, May 30, 1818, David, Jul. 19, 1820, James, Dec. 25, 1822, Janet, Jun 2, 1825, & Archibald, May 16, 1828.

Please confirm that we are talking about the same Archibald Petrie. I had convinced myself that Jane's Archibald was the one christened in Holm and Paplay on 14 January 1838. But that was on the basis of some similarity in names between Jane's children and the Holm and Paplay Archibald's siblings. I may have that one wrong! Please do pass along the additional information.
