Craigie family of Lochee

[lochee]

Hi,
If anyone is researching this family I would like to hear from them.
I am trying to find details of David Craigie born 1884 in Aberdeen.
Not sure when the family moved to Lochee but they were there in 1901 and 1911.
Regards
Bob.

Hello Lochee,
 i have an Agnes Craigie who married into the Patullo family. She was born in Abernyte in 1791 and died in Cottown in 1866. She married circa 1814 to George Patullo. Abernyte is nor far from Lochee/Dundee. Any chance of a connection.

Hi, Jack Gee,
Sorry for not getting back sooner.
The Craigie that I was trying to research was David Craigie born 1884 in Aberdeen.
He was my great uncle, brother of my paternal grandmother Catherine Jenkins Craigie born in Lochee 1877. Their parents were James Craigie, born Blairgowrie, Perthshire 1845 and Alice Elizabeth Jenkins, born Aberdeen 1854.
David was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal in 1915 serving with the Seaforth Highlanders.
I haven't gone any further back, as I am still working out my paternal grandfathers line.
Sorry I couldn't be any more helpful.
Regards
Bob.

all the best in your journey.
Please drop me a line if any connection materializes?

Cheers
Jack

hello lochee
we have a family member in common your grandmother Catherine Craigie was my grandfather Alexander Craigie paternal aunt His father was Andrew Craigie.  My daughter is going on a school trip to the Somme and Flanders battlefields and the school have asked us if any family members were KIA as they will try to visit some of the graves I know Catherine and Davids brother William was killed in France and their brother in law Thomas McKim who was married to their sister Margaret Craigie was also KIA in Belgium would you have any information regarding these two men?  I realise this is an old post but would be grateful for any information you could pass onto us
many thanks

Thomas McKim (Mackim) also appears to have served with the Seaforth Highlanders. He was a sergeant ( Reg no 4077). He died from wounds on 22/7/1917 but I can’t find any info on where he is buried/ commemorated. According to the Register of Soldiers Effects,  his War gratuity was paid to his widow Margaret.
ADD he is buried at Coxyde Military Cemetery ( location one F eight)

Thank you so much for all the information. Very helpful 
I shall pass it onto the school in the hope they can fit in a visit and pay their respects to William and Thomas whilst visiting Flanders and the Somme.
Every bit of info is very much appreciated by us.
many thanks again
Laurie
