Hi John
What about info on father of the groom? for that marriage??

You need info about John Laing himself, rather than descendants, I think, if we are going to work out if he belongs to my Laing clan.

I have had another look, and my John Laing was the last one to be born in Logie Pert- all his other younger siblings were born in Edinburgh. Their mother- Christian- died in Edinburgh, so it would appear the family stayed put there once they moved, although as I mentioned a number of Johns siblings did then move to London...not sure exactly when or why.

Do you have anything more on your John Laing?

Thanks for the 2 options for Christian-


Name: Christian Sinclair 
Gender: Female 
Baptism/Christening Date: 28 May 1767 
Baptism/Christening Place: CALLANDER,PERTH,SCOTLAND 
Birth Date: 25 May 1767 
Father's Name: Donald Sinclair 
Mother's Name: Murray Mcarthur 

OR

Possible record for Christian

SINCLAIR, Christian   
Christening
Gender:   Female
Birth Date: 7 May 1767   
Christening Date: 24 May 1767   
Recorded in: Oldhamstocks, East Lothian, Scotland
Father:   George SINCLAIR
Mother:   Catharine MARTIN
Source:   FHL Film 1067853

My difficulty is both places are quite a way from Montrose, and I have no other reason to think the couple married there other than that was where Christian was living. And neither set of parents names were passed on in Christian's children.....

Are there any other options for the same year closer to Montrose?

Being not that long after the 1745 rebellion could mean her father being a soldier and the family moving around.....but hard to determine......

Not sure where else to look/ how else to confirm Christian's roots.....??

Any other suggestions please?!
THank you!!

Hi Kylie

I think I'm done.. I don't have anything further to add re my John Laing so I'll spend some time digesting this info to see if i can make any more sense of it. I sort of feel I'm getting close and thank you also to Partoon-Researcher - that's certainly a possibility as the year is correct and St Cuthberts keeps turning up.

Thanks for all your kind assistance

Regards
John Laing (yes I'm another one!)
