nighean,

I've sent you a few emails, a couple with attachments, plus an invite to my site.

It might be that they will go into your SPAM / JUNK folder so you might want to check there if you don't receive them.

Dave I think I've been in touch with you in the past.  I also have the Cornelius Fortune from Innerwick in my tree (born 1718) and his wife, Jean Nisbet, born 27 March 1715 in Athelstaneford.  I seem to recall you had an Athelstaneford connection in your tree so maybe

Hi Everybody,

This is a bit belated, but my Wife has Fortune in her Maternal tree.
Thomas Fortune b.1866 Coldingham & Margaret Brown b.1841 Coldingham.  M.1863 Longformacus.
His father was Cornelious ca.1791 Athelstanford & Mary Sives ca.1778 E.Lothian, m.1822 Athelstanford.
His father was,Cornelious ca.1745 Innerwick & Agnes Walker ca.1753 E. Lothian, m. 1793 Nth Berwick?
His father was, Thomas ca.1719 Innerwick & Isobel Cowan ca.1723 Innerwick. M ca. 1745 Innerwick.

Any connection?

[daval57]

Definitely yes.
I'm just heading out.  Only opened email and this message because of the name.
I'll reply properly later or over the weekend.

Thomas (I have as b May 1836, not 1866 but I guess that's a typo on your part) had a brother Charles b1825 - d1895.  That Charles is my great great grandfather.

I believe the Thomas you have as ca1719 was actually b Jan 1713.
Parents: John Fortune and Elspeth Johnston m1710 Innerwick.
(I don't think I had absolute proof of this)

So, it would seem that your wife and I are blood relations.

I have quite a lot of information on the Fortunes, some verified by me - some provided by others that I've not checked yet.  Happy to share if you want to PM me your contact email.

Gillian, I appear to have missed this comment.  Apologies. 
My memory is terrible so I don't recall specific detail of our previous contact. 
Same thing applies to you, if you want to PM me with a contact email, I'll happily share any info I have - if I didn't do so previously.

Hi Dave
I don’t know if you are still interested in finding out information regarding Cornelius Fortune Thomson
I am researching into my family tree as Cornelius is my great grandfather & noticed your post when doing my research.
