As far as I know you are correct, on another forum it has been mentioned often that they use OCR, which is highly problematic in its interpretation of what it reads.

Hello Alexanderina
So sorry I have been off RC for a while, I could have given you information on Thomas's family quite quickly as he is a 1st cousin 3x removed. :-[
Unfortunately a change of computer, email address and work has kept me out of the loop.
I hope I am not too late with a reply.

Thanks for the welcome gadget

I will start posting some of my long losts shortly. My Robert Laurie wasnt from Kirkudbright tho, the family are in Lanarkshire, but he might have been born in Ireland. His wife was born in Liverpool a tricky lot these Lauries in the early 1800's :)

Hi all

I just joined this forum today after being cajoled by a friend I chat to.

What is it about Robert Laurie's, I too have one, he was married to Mary Irvine and it looks like he died even before the 1841 census, he could have hung on for at least another two years. ;D
