Hi Bruce,

Many Thanks for your kind offer.

Would you mind having a look for anything relating to Peter McEwan and Janet McNab.  They were married at Muthill on 10 March  1799.  My 3x GGrandmother, Margaret McEwan was born around 1801, but I have nothing on an exact date or on any siblings.

Many Thanks,


Christine.

Hi Christine

I am at work at the moment if you can leave this until later tonight I will I think be able to take your McEwan's back a few generations as I have the same family.(I Think from memory)The McEwan's were all apart from 1 baptised in the Church of Scotland.
The McEwan's I have started with Isabella marrying one of my McDonald ancestors in 1844 at Blackford and then coming back to Muthill.The McEwan's I am on about had been living in and around Muthill since the early 1600s mostly around Machany. By the way a couple of generations earlier your Peter was actually Patrick.If you send me an email I will send you what I have regarding the McEwan's from Muthill.
speak to you later
Yours Aye

Thanks for that Bruce,

will inform Duncan of the date of 30th September 1790. As he has a SP account. 
And at least it gives us the parents to work back on.

Evening Bleckie. I am a Comrie who has spent the last year ( seems longer!)researching my family tree on my fathers side of the family. I have records of  many Comrie both births and marriages in Muthill ,dating back to 1781.  I would be very interested to establish if there are any Comries recorded on the files that you hold. Can you help? I am particularly intersted in the following=-

Peter Comrie b.6/5/1781  Muthill  ( My ggg rand  fathehr)  shoemaker.
James Comrie    (Conon)    19/8/1746   Muthill  (my ggggrandfather                    tailor
Alexander  Comrie (Conon)   26/4/1724      Cranston   ()
Alex Comrie b.Nov 1704
John Comrie (Conon) b about 1680 ( my oldest descendant???)
Any information would be very happily received.  Best wishes.  Picamarra

Hello Bruce have just seen your offer of look up.  I have visited Muthill a few times to visit the little museum there but have never managed to find it open. The name I looking at is Faichney or Fechnie or similar I know there were some in Muthill in past years but do not know if any in Episcopal Church. Would be really grateful if you could have a look.
Many thanks Ann

Faichney is a name still found about here in Strathearn . The most famous Faichneys were of course  the sculptors whose incredible stone has been moved inside the chapel at Innerpeffray ( used to be Muthill parish ).

Bruce,

Sorry, I've taken so long to respond, life can bet in the way and be a nuisance.

Well........ I didn't expect this.  I thought you might be able to take me one step further, not a whole century.   Many, Many, Many Thanks.

I will PM you my e-mail address and in the meantime, I will immerse myself in what you've given me so far.
