Hi all,
I've been tracing my grandmothers family, her maiden name was Leckie.
I have traced them back to my 4x great grandfather James Leckie who was born in Kippen Stirlingshire in 1826 and was the 9th of 11 children born to Alexander Leckie and Margaret Lees, the first born in 1812 and the last in 1831 all in Kippen.
I can't seem to find any record of Alexander or Margarets bith, death or marriage anywhere in Scotland other than finding Margaret living in Argyle st Glasgow with 6 of the children in 1841 census but no mention of her husband Alexander, i assume he must have died after the birth of their last child in 1831 and before the 1841 census.
Hoping someone may be researching the same family and may be able to help.
Kippen is only a couple of miles from Leckie Castle and estate where the surname "Leckie" originated in the 1300s.
Thank you all
