I have info on a branch of the Comrie family descending from Annie McEwan and Peter Comrie of Fowlis Wester (married 1815) at http://chrispatonscotland.tripod.com/id28.html.

Hi Picamarra
Sorry for the delay in replying. We have been away.
Yes we are related and am glad to meet a long distance cousin. I have your side of the family your Peter b: abt 1826 d:23 May 1874 & wife Jean 29 Mar 1827 d: 23 Jul 1909 & their son David Comrie 10 Aug 1847 Kilsyth - 1896 Kilsyth marrying 1 Sept 1876 at Backbrae Kilsyth to Margaret Anderson (Strange as this is my mothers maiden name) born 1894 Kisyth. I don't have anything else (children etc) back to yourself.
My line is from your Peter's b:abt 1826 sister Margaret Comrie b:abt 1830. who married Alexander Rankin, their daughter Margaret McInnes Rankin who married my g/grandfather David Anderson. Their son William Alexander Anderson (my g/father) who married Mary Bell Myles then my mum & them guess who. ME. Anderson Moffat.
So hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Anderson,
          Just to let you know that I am also a distant cousin of yours (either 4 or 5 times removed, can't quite work it out ).My grandfather was also James Anderson Comrie of Kilsyth
1878 -1927, so pleased to meet you.
         Best wishes Jubed

Hi Jubed
Yes I have your grandfather James but didn't have his middle name. So obviously your here so he must had a wife and children. Even though we are a fair bit apart we are still bloodline and would love to add all your details as well. You must be about my generation (a young person) as my grandfather was born about the same time as yours.
Please send me a PM
Regards
Anderson

Hi Anderson,
        My grandad James Anderson was married twice,first time to Helen Frew Clelland in
Kilsyth.They had 2 daughters,Agnes Tunnock in 1902 and Ellinor Bowe in1905.Unfortunately,
Helen died (perhaps in childbirth )in 1905 and James moved down to Distington Cumbria
between then and 1911 probably for work -he was a miner.He left Ellinor with relations and brought Agnes down when he married my grandma Isabella Smith in August 1912.They had 5
children Ellenor Douglas in 1914,Margaret Olivia in 1915, James Anderson(dad)in 1917,
William Hope in1919 and Richard Smith in1923.Agnes was brought up with them and I knew
her all her life.I never met the other sister (believe she married an R Shaw in 1933 and died
in 1960 in Scotland, don't know if she has any descendants, would love to as they would be
cousins.There were 3 in our family, my brother Christopher died in 1980 aged 26 and my other bro is picamarra. Ellenor D 1914 had a son and daughter (both living) Margaret Olivia
had a son  and Richard a daughter. Agnes had a son Jim (J A again )now deceased

Just to add to the above,dad died in1990,Ella in the late 1970's,  Billy in 1983, Olive in the early 1990's and uncle Richard is still alive and well.Not sure of exact dates sorry.Agnes died
approx  1981.
 Would love to have any information you can give me
        Best wishes
