Hi Stew
Welcome to Rootschat 
I hope you'll be pleased that you joined us. We're a mad bunch- see the Even Lighter Side - but we all try to help each other as much as possible.
If you need any help with your Robert Laurie, it might be worth starting a new thread by pressing 'New Topic' at the top of the Kirkcudbrightshire board.

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.

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

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 
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 :-) Ian Clingan
