Hi all Laing descendants:

Just wondered if anyone has any Laings from Leith and Edinburgh areas. I have in my possession certificates and census info relating to Laing people living in the late 1700 and 1800 (In other words still alive when the census started in 1841) Would anyone like this information if I can either send it to you or download it onto here.  Not so good at doing that, but can email to anyone anything.

Ooooh that'd be lovely, marcie!  Any chance you could give us a list of names, just to whet the appetite?  :)

Cheers,

 I will go and check them.  Mostly Robert Laings and James because I was looking for Mary Anns' father.  Forget my head  should have typed Margaret Ann Laing be back in a minute or two.

There are others, such as a few marriages etc.   You will have to give an allowance if I include the same thing twice.
Probably an idea if I take a look again at those I have downloaded before adding the others.

good night and god bless!
