Purgavie or Purgivie family

[parpace]

Hello,

I've traced back to a Scottish ancestor, Margaret Purgavie and various spellings of both names. I have a birth date of 1734 and a marriage date of 1798, but am assuming that one of these dates could be wrong as that would mean she was 64 when she married (although not impossible, I guess).

I also have a record that her father was James Purgavie and POSSIBLY Jannet Brown was her mother. Does anyone else have any information about this surname?

Thanks,

Joanne

This one looked promising, but kept timing out: http://www.webfamily.org.uk/Purgavie

Hope this helps.
