Hi fieryfemale,

My great x5 grandparents are James COMRIE (sometimes known as CONON) and Christian LECKIE.  I haven't been able to find their marriage in the parish register but strangely enough it is mentioned on IGI (as an extracted record).  I wish their children were all listed together.  Two of their sons moved to Stirlingshire which is where I fit in.  I believe Christian LECKIE's parents are John LECKIE and CHRISTIAN DRUMMOND.

I was at the Mitchell Library yesterday and I had another look at the Muthill Parish Register and BruceL is correct about a fire in the Session Clark's house.  There is a note at what would have been the front of a book and it basically says that for the Register of Births it is what "could be recovered from People's memories or their Jottings from 3rd August 1704 to 1st November 1760".  John Leckie and Christian Drummond's marriage and children are recorded at the top of the very next page.

Regards........Christine

So your Christian and my Anna are sisters  . Have you managed to find out anymore on on John Leckie or Christian Drummond i.e. their parents. I would really like to know if Christian Drummond's ancestor's are related to Drummond Castle.  I have Christian as marrying James Comrie too, but I think it is all gathered from the IGI. I have them with 7 children, again from the IGI.

Hi fieryfemale,

I haven't yet got around to investigating Christian DRUMMOND and John LECKIE.  If I do find anything, I'll let you know.

Hello,

I am just starting to get in to the 1800's in my research and I have found a Comrie relative. 

My great-great grandmother was Ann Jemima Comrie born in Blackford Perth about 1839.  Ann's father was Donald Comrie born in Comrie, Perth abt 1806.  Donald Comrie was married to Janet Comrie (I believe maiden name was McGregor).  Janet (McGregor) Comrie was born in Comrie, Perth in abt 1797.  Donald and Janet Comrie lived in Muthill Village as per the 1851 census with their daughters Ann and Catherine Comrie (born abt 1837 Blackford Perth).  Ann Jemima Comrie married Duncan Ferguson on 1 June 1860 in Muthill.  She was listed as a domestic servant at the time of her marriage and he was a painter.  Janet (McGregor) Comrie was listed as deceased by this date.

Duncan Ferguson and Ann (Comrie) Ferguson seem to have stayed in Muthill for a couple of years and then moved around.  Their children are as follows as far as I could tell from census records.  Jessie/Janet born Muthill 1861, Daniel born Muthill 1864, Duncan born Glasgow 1866, Isabella born Grangemouth, Stirlingshire 1869, Elizabeth born Lauristown, Stirlingshire 1871, James born Glasgow 1873 and Peter born Glasgow 1875 (my great grandfather).

If anyone has any further information relating to Ann Jemima Comrie, her parents or any these Comrie relations, I would love to hear from you.  Thank you.  Jennifer.
