Hi Carolyn, I have transcribed Elizabeth's death certificate from 1855 Death Certificate Ref: 1855 MONTROSE (312) Page 22 Entry 64 (source Scottish Records Office) ELIZABETH ALEXANDER died 13 February 1855 at 10.00 am age 95 years at 15 North Street, Montrose born at Lunan (50 years in Montrose) Parents: ANDREW PETRIE - Flaxdresser - deceased ELIZABETH PETRIE ms ADDISON - deceased Married to ALEXANDER ALEXANDER - Wright - deceased Issue: 1. ALEXANDER age 66 2. JANE age 64 3. MARY age 62 4. BETSY age 60 5. ROBERT age 58 6. ANN age 56 Cause of Death: Old Age - No Medical Attendant Buried at Churchyard of Lunan Death registered by ALEXANDER ALEXANDER - Son on 16 February 1855 @ Montrose ******** Note: Elizabeth Alexander (nee Petrie) is not noted in the original SRO Death Index of 1855 Female "Petrie" death's...... I found her listed under her Alexander surname, her death record had not been cross referenced under her Petrie surname. Gravestone Inscription.... By ANDREW PETRIE died 02 March 1812 aged 80 Flaxdresser at Montrose, his wife ELIZABETH ADDISON died 15 September 1799 aged 67 years daughter ISOBEL died 02 June 1788 aged 19 years (other side of stone) ELIZABETH PETRIE died 13 February 1855 aged 95 years (Lunan Graveyard) I wonder if you know that Elizabeth & Alexander's son Alexander & daughter Mary married their 1st cousins.... I have certificate transcriptions to prove that Alexander Alexander (b.c1789) married his 1st cousin Isobell Petrie in 1811 she was daughter of Joseph Petrie & Ann Gardyne of Montrose and their daughter Mary Alexander (b.c1793) married her 1st cousin David Petrie, who was son of Joseph Petrie & Ann Gardyne. Joseph & Elizabeth were brother & sister, I have lots of information on these Petrie families in my database, most of the information I have already passed on to related researchers of this line...... Have you heard from Fred Sullivan , Marge Kapas or Gayle Vanden Bosch yet... ?? They are also descended from Andrew Petrie & Elizabeth Addison of Lunan, but I do not think that Fred & Marge are subscribed to this list at the moment....
