Greig's and Blacksmiths
« on: Tuesday 10 September 13 03:42 BST (UK) »
I'm looking for James Greig and his wife Marion Eddington who were married in Dirleton in 1805. He was a blacksmith, any help would be appreciated.

Hi

I'm not sure what info you want but this looks like James in 1841:

Dirleton
James Greig, 67, Blk Smith, b. Scotland
Janet Greig, 30, b. East Lothian

Unfortunately the 1841 didn't give realtionships but Janet could be a daughter.

Children showing on Family Search - all Dirleton :

Kathrine - 19 May 1806
Christian - 12 Dec 1808
Jannet -  12 Aug 1810
Alexander - 28 June 1812
Catharine - 24 Nov 1814
David - 21 Jan 1818
Agnes Lee - 8 Feb 1820

Some online trees have James born 7 Nov 1773 and dying Edinburgh 19 Aug 1853. Parents given as David Greig and Christian Kesson (this fits with children's names) Marion down as b. 1785.

The trees can be viewed at Mundia.com but the info would need checking as many give inaccurate information.
