Christie family - Help please
« on: Monday 18 June 07 14:07 BST (UK) »
Can someone please help with information on

Robert Christie born abt 1833
Samuel Christie born abt 1829
John Christie born abt 1841
also maybe an Alexander Christie -birth date unknown
all born Stirling,Scotland.
Children of Robert Christie and Mary (maiden name unknown).
I'm hoping to find birth dates for children listed and any others I haven't found yet!
Also mothers maiden name and marriage date if possible.

Thank you,
Raylen

Hi Raylen

These are the only entries coming up in Stirlingshire to parents with those names (mother is showing as Mary DOBBIE). All records are submitted entries on IGI with exception of the christening for Elizabeth 1837. Dates are quite specific so you may well find corresponding entries on Scotlands People OPR index:

1. ELIZABETH DOWNIE CHRISTIE  Birth: 13 JUL 1827 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
2. WILLIAM CHRISTIE  Birth: 29 JAN 1830 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
3. JANET CHRISTIE  Birth: 18 SEP 1832 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
4. ANDREW CHRISTIE Birth: APR 1835 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
5. ELIZABETH DOWNIE CHRISTIE  Christening: 13 JUL 1837 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
6. ROBERT CHRISTIEBirth: 20 SEP 1837 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland
7. JOHN CHRISTIE Birth: 17 OCT 1840 Saint Ninians, Stirling, Scotland

Depending on which line you are following, hopefully a check on the censuses will let you confirm birth place.

Regards.
