Hi there Langtonian that would be fantastic to get some info on the Skinner side.
Thanks. Anything you may need give me a shout!
I'm quite new to this so I may not have as much info as other people!

Hi Evelina
My LAING family line are/were based (more or less) in and around the East of Fife - away from the places you mention in your post.
My maternal Grandfather's mother CHRISTIAN was a LAING. This is her entry from my tree:
CHRISTIAN LAING was born 15 Nov 1842 in Kilrenny, Fife, and died 03 Jan 1911 in Durie's Broom, Scoonie, Fife. She married ANDREW DRUMMOND 10 Jan 1863 in Carnbee, Fife, son of JAMES DRUMMOND and CHRISTIAN STEVENSON. He was born Abt. Oct 1840 in Pittenweem, Fife, and died 30 Aug 1913 in Balgove, St Andrews & St Leonards, Fife.
If you see a connection, I'd be happy to exchange information with you.
Regards
Chiad Fhear
I'm glad to see there's a LAING thread here. I'm descended from LAINGS in the parish of Kilrenny, East Neuk of Fife. Alexander LAING married Janet BROUN at Kilrenny in 1723. Their daughter Mary, born in 1740, married Andrew KEAY in the parish of St. Monans and they were the ancestors of the Cellardyke KEAYS.

Aye mair questions than answers!
|
Hi Christine, did you go further back than Janet Kinnear?
I got to Christina Skinner and David Laing then struggled to get further back with very little information.
I did get death cert for David Laing born 1818 and states his parents were David Laing and Jeannie Laing ( nee Laing) yet cant find any more info on their marriage or births. Come to a bit of halt!!

Hi Zoe
I've just sent you a PM but, it seems we've all hit this brick wall with David and Jeannie ... although it's quite possibly correct.

Aye mair questions than answers in a world where the past was a different place - that cannae be revisited! Family surnames being researched ... Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson Drummond, Pearson, Laing ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more! Census information Crown Copyright, from www.nationalarchives.gov.uk |

Hi all, Glad some of you have made connections, i made one so that was great, now I wonder if any of you have laing married to Smart, Cumming or Reid in the 1880-1900's or married to Gilchrist or Speary in the 1850 -1860's.

does anyone have any Laing shipbuilders in the family
ie Hugh Laing who apparently came from Fife and went to Dunbar?
He might have been the son of John Laing and Elizabeth Taylor born Carnbee 1738?
thanks Alison

There's a Hugh Laing died 25/3/1816 in Dunbar on ScotlandsPeople. I'm not sure how much detail they'd give but it might be yours.

 Hello Chiad Fhear.
My Great Grandparents were James Laing married to Janet Kinnear.
Seems like your Great Granmother and my Great Grandfather were brother and
sister.
I recently saw their parents gravestone in Scoonie Cemetery. (David Laing and
Christian Skinner.
Regards, Grosperrin.
