Hi

Does anyone have any information on the family of David Laing and Isabella Laing (married in Kilmany, Fife 5 June 1803)?  A daughter of theirs Christian (b 21 Mar 1813 Kimany) married Thomas Gibson on 29 Nov 1834 also in Kilmany. 

Thanks,
Kylie.

Marriages for John Laing and Elizabeth Taylor:

JOHN LAING

JOHN LAING

Nothing on a Hugh Laing whatsoever, but there are large gaps between the birth of their children, so who knows?

Thank you - I was hoping that I might get some answers regarding the Taylor/Taylour family who lived in Carnbee.  This post is very helpful.

Isobel Taylour married Andrew Johnston at Carnbee on 13th March, 1724.  Andrew and Isabel's grave is at Kilrenny (and on Findagrave)

The witnesses at the baptism of their son, Andrew Johnston, who was born on 26th and baptised on the 28th November 1728 were David and John Laings.  He was baptised at Carnbee.

On Familysearch is the baptism at Carnbee of Rachel Johnston on 17 Dec 1725.  There is also a baptism for James Johnston on 23 July 1727.  The parents for both are Andrew Johnston and Isobel Taylor.

My theory is that Elizabeth and Isobel are sisters, and that the name Rachel comes from their family.  The Andrew Johnston who was born in 1728 married Euphame Clephane and they also named a daughter Rachel.

David and John Laings (sic) are also witnesses on the same page of the Carnbee parish reguster to the baptisms of:
Alexander Laing on 28th Feb 1729 - parents Da. Laing and Ann Bayne
Alexander Sim on 26th Apr 1729 - parents Thomas Sim and Agnes Herd.
