Ev,

I have only just joined this website and was looking for information on my family Gorrie/Eadie when I came across this thread.  Andrew McCracken was my great grandfather, he was in the KOSB but at the time of his death he was a garden and he died of peritonitis.  My great grandmother then remarried James Strachan.  Any information on my family would be grately appreciated.  Also, without knowing my brother joined the army in KOSB's without knowing our great grandfather had served with them!

Hi Faye , welcome to RootsChat 

Unfortunately all my detailed stuff for the Gorrie's and Eadie's is now in storage , however I've managed to find some limited info.
 
Your great grandmother was Christina Gorrie(1894 - 1963).
Parents Robert Gorrie(1853 - 1908) and Elizabeth Eadie(1856 - 1901) , married 17th Oct. 1873 Old Monkland Lanark.

My line is Christina's sister Elizabeth Eadie Gorrie(1883 - 1935) and William Boath Brown Hendry(1881 - 1963) , married 3rd July 1903 , Scott Street Baillieston Lanarkshire.
