Hi Stew

Hi Stew, welcome from me too.  I can testify that this is a great list (even though I can't, at the moment, get onto it as often as I'd like to).  Never mind, redundancy/retirement looms at Christmas (and I'm old enough to be pleased about it) so I shall have much more time then.

I agree with you about the Laurie's, they're a tricky lot - wherever they are from.

Oh, note to gadget:  My cousin was raking about in her loft and came across a share certificate.  Robert's son, William, had bought 50 shares at £1 each in the Caly Mines Development Syndicate so your thoughts about Robert possibly being a small mine owner may not be far from the truth.

I have my uses  Wink

£50 was a reasonable sum - even in 1908!

I'm semi-retired and I can recommend it. But a warning - you can get hooked on RC and it's darn difficult to break the habit  Cheesy

HI

Not exactly looking for these but have quite alot of info on the Louries of Girthon, Gatehouse of Fleet as my Great, Great Great Grandad was William Laurie (Girthon Born 1817) who was married to a Margret stanhope.

I guess there might be a link somewhere

It looks possible that living in No.1 and 3, next to Robert and family in the 1851 Census could be Robert Laurie's brothers:

LAURIE Margaret, daughter of William Laurie, 4, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE William, head of household, MINER, 40, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE William, son of William Laurie, 7, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE Catherine, daughter of William Laurie, 6,  born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE David, son of William Laurie, 2, born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE Grace, daughter of William Laurie, 1,  born Girthon Kbt
LAURIE John, son of William Laurie, 9, born Dalry Ayrshire
LAURIE Margaret, wife of William Laurie , 30,  born Kirkcudbright K

Address: 3 Swan Street, Village of Gatehouse(866) Parish: Girthon



Hi Monica I am very intersted in these Lauries and was wondering if you could tell me the year that this information is relevant too.

The Laurie Family of Gatehouse of Fleet (Scotland) and Barrow in Furness (UK)

Hi Rob

Welcome to RootsChat  Smiley

That census entry you refer to came from the 1851 census.

Hi ALL
Can I jump in and say I am also looking for Lauries. In my case it is Alexander Laurie. He is known to have married Martha Clingan, on 7 Mar 1828 at Crossmichael. She was born Knockwalloch, KPD. A daughter was born probably in Crosmichael on 3 Dec 1828. Daughter died 18 mths later Old Greenlaw, Berwick. Martha also died at that place so am presuming family moved there at some early stage of the marriage. Hope this info is of use to someone - as well as me :-)
