This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: HARPER LAING Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ReC.2ACI/2783 Message Board Post: My GGG-grandfather James Harper married Mary Laing in Banffshire in 1859 and had children: Mary (1859) Margaret (1861) Robert (1863) William (1865). Too many Harpers in 1841 census to determine James' parents. Interested in contact from anyone else researching Harper and Laing families in northeastern Scotland
