Dear Julie,
It so happens that I have compiled a family tree for the descendants of Peter Comrie and Jean Stirling. They are on my JC-G Comrie family tree 13, which is 12 pages long.
I have the nine children of David Comrie and Margaret Anderson as Peter (b. 1876), James (b. 1878), Elizabeth (b. 1880), Jean Stirling (b. 1882), David (b. 1883), John (b. 1885), Daniel (b. 1887), Margaret (b. 1889), and Clementina (b. 1893). I transcribed their birth (and other) certificates in the 1960s and 1970s in New Register House in Edinburgh.
Their first son Peter died at three years of age in 1879 and I don't have deaths recorded for Margaret and Clementina, but as I stopped transcribing BMD certificates in 1980, they could either have left Scotland or lived to ripe old ages and missed my dragnet!
My name is John Comrie-Greig and I was born in Falkirk (about 20 kilometres east of Kilsyth) in 1942. I live in Perth, Western Australia.
If you require more data, give me a shout.
Kind regards
John
