Hi Mollydog,
Try searching on Google for West Longrigg Pit, Stirlingshire.
You'll get tons of sites but you might have to do a lot of reading to find who you're looking for.
Good Luck!
Anne

Hi WehuntSam,
I hope you find Sam!!!
I found the following for you on the British Vital Records:
LECKIE, Alexander Gender: Male Christening Date: 18 Oct 1795 Recorded in: Campsie, Stirlingshire, Scotland Father: John LECKIE Mother: Janet MINZIES Source: FHL Film 1041973 Dates: 1730 – 1820
LECKIE, Alexander Gender: Male Christening Date: 28 Apr 1797 Recorded in: Campsie, Stirlingshire, Scotland Father: John LECKIE Mother: Janet MINZIES Source: FHL Film 1041973 Dates: 1730 – 1820
LECKIE, Cathrine Gender: Female Christening Date: 16 Apr 1799 Recorded in: Campsie, Stirlingshire, Scotland Father: John LECKIE Mother: Janet MENZIES Source: FHL Film 1041973 Dates: 1798 – 1800

LECKIE, James Gender: Male Christening Date: 29 Dec 1805 Recorded in: Campsie, Stirlingshire, Scotland Father: John LECKIE Mother: Janet MENZIES Source: FHL Film 1041973 Dates: 1805 – 1805
LECKIE, William Gender: Male Birth Date: 1 Oct 1808 Christening Date: 2 Oct 1808 Recorded in: Campsie, Stirlingshire, Scotland Father: John LECKIE Mother: Janet MINZIES Source: FHL Film 1041973 Dates: 1730 – 1820
LECKIE, Helen Gender: Female Birth Date: 29 Jan 1812 Christening Date: 9 Feb 1812 Recorded in: Campsie, Stirlingshire, Scotland Father: John LECKIE Mother: Janet MINZIES Source: FHL Film 1041973 Dates: 1809 – 1855
LECKIE, Elizabeth Gender: Female Birth Date: 6 Jun 1814 Christening Date: 12 Jun 1814 Recorded in: Campsie, Stirlingshire, Scotland Father: John LECKIE Mother: Janet MENZIES Source: FHL Film 1041973 Dates: 1809 – 1855
John and Janet would probably have married in 1794 although I can't find a marriage for them in Campsie or in Stirlingshire.
Hope this helps.
Anne

Hi Mollydog,
I know this is an old post and completed, but I would be interested in what you have found concerning John Menzies death.
My wife is a direct descendant (MS Menzies) and has the family bible detailing the entire family, his parents including of course John's demise.
We have all of the published information concerning his death and of course his brother Richard's death in almost identical circumstances many years earlier.
This family had a great deal of tragedy and many other siblings died very young.
Please let me know if you have any info and of course I will reciprocate.

Hi Mollydog,
My wife's maiden surname is Menzies and her grandfather was Thomas Warden Menzies (John's younger brother). Their father John Menzies snr, was married twice ( 1st to Marion Lumsden and later to Isabella Warden and between them had a total of 17 children.
Female siblings were Mary, Rachel, Margaret, Marion* and Jane*. Perhaps your Grandmother was one of these sisters. They were all half sisters to Thomas and full sisters to John jnr.
* died in infancy
Hope this helps a little and should you need any further info please let me know.
Regards
