I have that family back to 1750, which is as far as you can go without going to Scotland for guild records, (if applicable, men were indentured 16 years for each level) doctor records, land rentals, land evaluation (done every 10 years. 28 Jul 1817, Newtyle was one possible christening to a David in Newtyle.
St Cutberts in a beautiful church, just below Edinburgh Castle. The reason it's been destroyed and rebuilt several times. It is not square..so the devil has no corner to hide in, and a life size marble carving of the last supper is behind the alter. A housekeeper let me come in to pray during cleaning, so I have lovely pics and memories. I was out strolling the graveyard, and out of concern for my safety, they approached and invited me inside. It is not safe except in daylight, as they are popular places for drug users. I've been to Newtyle several times.
David Pourie and Jean Mason had 7 children.
It's very lucky that an OPR period bann has a father, place and occupation listed.
