Son James born Oct 25 1787 at Keith. James marries Elspet Innes Aug 25 1807 at Mortlach. Their son William born Nov 30 1812 married Elspet Pirie Nov 29 1855 at Rhynie Aberdeenshire. His siblings were, John born Nov 7 1810, James Dec 21,1816, Jane May25 1821. James Nicol married Jessie Pirie Feb 2 1865 at Rhynie and their daughter was Elsie Sellar Nicoll. Her siblings were William Alexander born Nov 5 1865, Jessie Elizabeth born Aug 1 1868 Robert, born Oct 13 1870 and Jemima born Jany 4 1872. So being a niece is likely. No luck otherwise on the Pirie family. I tried to E- Mail you directly but was rejected.
