Moray (Elginshire) / Archibald Gammie
« on: Wednesday 06 November 13 16:13 GMT (UK)  »
Looking for info on Archibald Gammie died on the ship City of Quebec in 1859 aged 31 (Scotlands People - Maritime Register does not show names of parents) - particularly trying to confirm date of birth and the names of his parents - various family trees are showing his date of birth as 1824 and his parents as Joseph Gammie and Margaret Davie.  However the death certificate of Joseph Gammie lists all his children by 2 marriages and there is no mention of an Archibald.
Archibald Gammie was married to a Jane Hay and lived in Elgin

trying to obtain any information on the family of john lynd and his wife rebecca (nee nicol)who were married at dunboe parish church 13/3/1862. the witnesses were andrew lees and william cunningham.

John Lynd, son of james lynd, was born around 1836 and died in1892 - grave in dunboe p/church. Rebecca was born in articlave 1839, daughter of andrew nichol and his wife martha ( nee clark) and died in greenock scotland 24/2/1912.
They had 6 children
