Hi! tucker40 & welcome to rootschat.

I have copies of the LDS films for Fintry - roughly 1820 - 1855.

In order to find anyone in these films I need a date range- as well as name, of course. Only about a third have been indexed and transcribed. I do recall the names "Norrie" and "Dobbie" do filter through the films for a long period of time.

Give me more and be patient - I'll let you know what I can find.

Thanks to both of you for great information.
David Norrie married Mary Downie around 1848 with a son, Alexander, born around the same time, it would be great if you could find more information in the LDS files on these events

The parish Register index shows:

31 May 1848 Alexander Norrey to David Norrey and Mary Downie

this entry is followed by two siblings - Mary and Ann in 1850 & 1852 respectively.

My copy is of the original film and the text on this one is quite clear.

Under Marriages I have:

14th Oct 1848 David Norris & Mary Downie (etc.) married 27th

I have these two films pegged it you want copies and I can look for the actual birth entries for copies of those if you are interested.

However, I will need your email address to send them to you - send me a private message.

Don't let the name changes put you off, this is the same couple and there are more Norrie/Norris/Norrey entries of the family(ies).

Waiting to hear from you.

Images sent to private email account- hope they are what you are looking for.

Let me know if you need others, or help deciphering the poor inkblobs on some of it.
