Derek, Very briefly, my ggrandmother was a McLaren. Her father was John McLaren b. approx. Dec 1842 and mother Mary Ann Petrie b. approx May 1843. John McLaren's parents were Thomas McLaren and sabell(a) Peebles. Mary Ann Petrie's parents were William Petrie and Mary Ann Ferguson. I have the marriage certificate for John McLaren and Mary Ann Petire which gives addresses and occupations, etc. They were married 2 December 1864 in Dundee, at which time her father, William Petire, was listed as being a seaman, deceased. I have also found marriage information for Thomas McLaren and Isabell(a) Peebles, and birth information for three children -- none of them John. I can go back no farther on the Petrie's than the marriage record of Mary Ann and John McLaren. I would be happy to share specifics with you. I do have information on children of Mary Ann Petrie and John McLaren although it is not complete.

Hi Pam, Did we ever compare our Ferguson family tree? If not I can forward mine to you...probably should be outside the Petrie site...not sure others would be interested. My GGrandmother was Jane Ferguson and the Ferguson name continues to be carried as the middle name for almost all the boys in the family.
