I am going round in circles. Can someone help me please. I do not have access to S.P. Yet (Top of Xmas list) I am trying to find the parents of David McBurnie Laurie my 2x great uncle. He was b 1832 in Parish Troqueer,Dumfrieshire,Scotland.
I think his parents are John Laurie/Lawrie and Marey ?
If anyone can help i would be most grateful

They moved to Leeds between 1832 and 1835 when their daugther was born. I need to check Marey's surname.

I Know the father was John Laurie/Lawrie. According to my Mums Family the mother was Marey/Mary Johnstone/Johnston/Jonston etc. So i will have to send for a death cert as you say. I may send for Mary's as that may give her parents names as well. But that will not help with the spelling.My problem is i like to see things written down before i go to far.
Thank -you for your time.
Regards Carol

Carol,
You can do a free search on ScotlandsPeople - you need to register but that costs nothing.
A free search for David McBurnie LAWRIE in 1832 in Troqueer gets one hit. You would then need to purchase credits (minimum purchase costs only six pounds). However, you would only be able to see what is in the index - this was, of course, before the start of Statutory Registration in Scotland, and images of entries in the Old Parish Registers are not yet available on SP.
I notice that the relevant IGI batch for Troqueer, Kircudbrightshire - C118825 - is one of those infuriating batches where only the girls have been extracted into the online IGI.
If you can get to your nearest Latter Day Saints Family History centre (locations can be found on the FamilySearch website) you should be able to look at the Scottish Church Records CD there - it will include the boys as well.
Incidentally, the parish was in Kircudbrightshire; see Genuki at:
