Hi Karen, I don't have any info on Andrew yet as I have been following the line of Donald. I will check it out though. The info I have on Donald is as follows:- (THIS MIGHT INTEREST BOTH SETS OF KIRKMICHAEL PETRIES) Donald Petrie was born in 1799, the son of Alexander Petrie and Ann Robertson. He died on 12th June 1866 at Tonloid, parish of Kirkmichael. On the 8th May 1825, Donald Petrie married Hellen Petrie, the daughter of John Petrie and Betsy (Betty) Robertson. ( Hellen Petrie - born 1801, died 9 November 1873 at Tonloid, parish of Kirkmichael) So Donald from one set of the Kirkmichael Petries married Hellen from the other set of Kirkmichael Petries. They went on to have 8 children:- David George born 1826 Christian born 1830 Another David born 1832 Anne born 1835 Elizabeth born 1839 Emily (Amelia) born 1843 I have followed some of their lines down a wee bit further - I am still looking into these, so there are still people to find! Alexander Petrie the son of Donald and Hellen Petrie was born in 1826. He originally trained as a flour miller in Caputh, but later moved to Edinburgh where he was employed as a "House Servant" and then as a Butler. On the 10th April 1863 at Stirling, he married Jane Reid, the daughter of Charles Reid and Jane Sinclair. Alexander and Jane had one daughter, Helen Petrie, born in 1864. Alexander died on 21st May 1879 at City Hospital, Edinburgh from smallpox. Helen Petrie, the daughter of Alexander Petrie and Jane Reid, was born on the 25th November 1864 at 6 Daston Place Lane, Edinburgh. She worked firstly in a printing office and then as a domestic servant. On the 27th November 1891, Helen married Andrew Somerville and they went on to have at least 7 children. Helen died on the 22nd June 1919 at 338 Morningside Road, Edinburgh. Children of Helen Petrie and Andrew Somerville:- Neil Somerville - born 23rd July 1894. He married Joan Ross Herriot on 10th March 1921 Alexander Petrie Somerville - born 2 April 1896 . He married Helen Teviotdale on 23 September 1923. ( Alexander died on 1st April 1954 ) Agnes Gilchrist Somerville - born 2 January 1899 died 11 July 1899 Jane Reid Somerville - born 24 June 1900 Andrew Gilchrist Somerville - born 26 December 1903 Helen Petrie Somerville - born 29 March 1905 James Somerville Going way back up the line again to Donald Petrie and Hellen Petrie, I have more information on more of their children - think I have maybe bombarded everyone with enough for now!!!!!
