Hi, my brother pointed out this post to me. I've just picked up some information that we had about our family, and am trying to reconcile and extend. So a beginner, and new to this forum too.
This is an extract from a fairly comprehensive document that has been made available to us:
"
43. JAMES29 LESLIE (ALEXANDER28, ALEXANDER27, ....) was born 09 Mar 1791 in Drainie, Parish of Spynie. Elgin Scotland., and died Abt. 1830 in Bay of Biscay. Buried at Sea.. He married MARY CULBARD 09 Sep 1816 in St Giles Church Elgin Scotland. She was born Abt. 1792 in Drainie Elgin Scotland, and died 11 Jun 1879 in Drainie Elgin Scotland.
Children of JAMES LESLIE and MARY CULBARD are:
49. i. MARGARET30 LESLIE, b. Abt. 1818, St Michaels, Azores Islands.; d. 12 Dec 1894, Elgin Scotland.
ii. ALEXANDER LESLIE, b. Abt. 1820, St Michaels Azores; d. 02 May 1832, Elgin Morayshire Scotland.
iii. MARY MADALINA LESLIE, b. Abt. 1822, St Michaels Azores; d. 07 Nov 1831, Elgin Morayshire
Scotland.
"
(sorry, looks like the post doesn't cope with superscripts)
So that corresponds with what another reply said, though I haven't yet got to grips with all the extra info from the post of 12 Dec last - info which will help me!
It looks like our family line comes through James's oldest brother John.
Does that add anything useful?
