Looking for information on Alexander Tolmie and a Mary Christie their son Alexander was born 1835 so would expect the DOM to be around 1825 to 1840.

The 1841 for R&C shows a 10yr old Alexander Tolmie in Tarbat - with an Andrew Tolmie aged 50 - butcher
Tarbat ED 2 Page 8 Line 660
No Alexander and Mary in R&C in 1841 and nothing in 1851

Thanks for replying.

Not finding anything, but could the search include the name PTOLEMY, I wonder?
Ann, what more can you tell us about Alexander b 1835 - such as where the earliest 'sighting' of him is and what the source of his parents names is?
Cheers

Hi
This is the info I have on the Tolmie family.
Alexander born 1835 St Cyrus Kincardine died 1913 Edinburgh he married Helen Grieve McLellan 1861 Edinburgh, parents were Alexander Tolmie and Mary Christie don't have any dates whatsoever on them.
I also have another family Alexander Tolmie b 1805 d 1871 Urray ross and Cromarty, he married Ann Tolmie 1824 Fodderty, I have their children, Margaret 1826, Catherine 1829, Ann 1834 and Mary 1839.
Could it be possible that Alexander born 1805 married twice.

Hi
I can't understand how Alexander b 1805 could have married twice when you look at the date of marriage and the childrens birthyears you have given
Born 1805 married 1824 - so approx 19yrs old when he married
Children born between 1826 and 1839 in Ross & Cromarty
But the younger Alexander was b 1835 in Kincardine
-
Alexander Tolmie born 1805 married Ann Tolmie, children Margaret 1826 born R/C married John Livey he was born St Cyrus, Catherine R/C, Ann was born Dundee, Mary married James Martin and she died in Dundee.
I hope this bit of info might help.

Hi Ann
The IGI has an extracted record: Alexander TOLMIE born 14 Aug 1835, baptised 27 Aug 1835 St Cyrus, Kincardine , parents Alexander TOLMIE and Ann TOLMIE.
Your Alexander, does his marriage and his death certificates, both say his mother was Mary CHRISTIE?
Cheers

I have all of the children, and also their husbands and children. I have done a few searches on s/p and Alexander is born to a Alexander Tolmie and Mary Christie, the others are to Alexander Tolmie and Ann Tolmie. Could it be possible if Alexander married twice.

I've only very recently discovered that TOLMIE is now another family line for me to follow. I found several chat messages here, and feel that I may, possibly, have hit the jackpot. (Hope springs eternal). If I'm correct, then Ann Tolmie - born 1835 - may just be my great great grandmother. [The line I'm actually following directly is STUART/STEWART.]
My great grandmother was Mary STUART, nee MACDONALD
Her mother was Ann MACDONALD, nee TOLMIE
All I can verify at the moment is that Ann TOLMIE married a John MACDONALD who was a boilermaker, and Mary was one of their offspring. I think that Mary would have been born about 1855. This is information gathered from Mary's Death Certificate. At the time of Mary's death (1916 in Dundee), both parents, John and Ann, were deceased.
If anyone can shed any light on this it would be marvellous. Many thanks, Rosemac

Researching my son-in-laws tree at the moment and just discovered his great great grandfather was John Tolmie c 1825 birthplace either Urray or Fodderty parents Alexander and Ann Tolmie. He married Catherine Adam born Tealing c1832 in Dundee in 1851. I've been struggling to find any trace of him prior to his marriage but thanks to this thread have traced him to Dun in 1841 under Tolemy! :) He was in the bothy away from the rest of the family. His daughter Isabella was born in 1855 (the magic year) he was the toll keeper at Newford Park Toll, Forfar. By 1871 he was a road labourer and residing in Dura Street Dundee. He died in 1898 aged 72 at Viewbank Cottage, Clepington Road, Dundee, his occupation is given as road inspector.

Just been doing a bit more research on the Tolmie family and found Alex on the 1851 census at Woodside of Craigo, Logie Pert aged 16 born St Cyrus.
1851 census also shows Alex Tolmie senior, his wife Ann Tolmie along with their youngest daughter Mary aged 12 born Dun, at Mains of Logie, Logie Pert.
On checking S/P for a birth for Alexander Tolmie found him born 14th August, 1835, Tottnies ? St Cyrus, parents Alexander and Ann Tolmie. He seems to be the only Alexander Tolmie born in Kincardineshire for the year 1835, which makes it all the more puzzling why on his marriage certificate his mother's name is given as Mary Christie.
There is no Tolmie/Christie marriage showing on OPR.
