Hi
I have  a few Ormistons in my tree and I am hoping if we could email one another we might be able to expand on this surname.

Hi
Good you are helping me, but not sure where John Ormiston b1854 parents as Peter Ormiston babt1833 and Elizabeth Hogg with 10 children come into my tree.

Janet Fairgrieve Ormiston married John Paterson.
This is the rest of the children from John Ormiston and Janet Fairgrieve, Peter 1873, John 1875, Mary 1877, James 1879, Marion 1890.

I have only Janet's marriage.

Hi Ann

I have a Janet Ormiston b1894 Gladsmuir, daughter of John Ormiston and Janet Fairgrieve but after reading your post did a free check on SP and realised this is actually Janet Fairgrieve Ormiston b1894 Gladsmuir. This would make Janet Fairgrieve Ormiston the daughter of John Ormiston and Janet Fairgrieve and grand daughter of Peter Ormiston and Elizabeth Hogg.
