Philips Brother Robert was born on 1st October 1805. Sister ary was born 24th December 1807 in Largo. Philip Grieve married Janet Drummond on 12th August 1836 when he was 32 years old. They had a son called Alexander who was born 25th June 1838 in Largo (Alexander is my line) Then on te 18th July 1840 they had a daughter Janet 'Jessie' in Largo Fife.

What part of the Grieve family do you come from? Are we cousins?
I have managed to push my family line back to about 1640 ish. But most has to be double checked.
