Ann Ritchie married James Blackwood
Janet Ritchie married Andrew Condie
Elizabeth Ritchie all I know is she was born 27 Nov 1860 Dysart, Fife
Margaret Ritchie married John Pithie
James Ritchie married Mary Deas

Thanks once again Norrie - You've passed on a lot of info and I'll need time to read it over.

Hello Mary-S-Mac    :)

Have just received notification of a PM sent regarding William Robert LOGIE & Barbara HARKNESS.   Unfortunately I no longer have access to the personal messaging system in this forum so am unable to read or reply to your message.  Sorry.   :(

If you'd like to outline the nature of the query (on here, perhaps ?) then I'll do my best to be of help.   :)

I have William Robert LOGIE & Barbara HARKNESS [married13 Feb 1857 Muirkirk, Ayrshire] in my family tree [mother's side]

After hours of searching I see that there is also a James LOGIE married to a Barbara HARKNESS but all the children from both these are the same names/births.

Just wondered if you knew any more as to why this could be.

Sorry to go off track on this post.

Hi Mary

I looked at your website but failed to find anything relating to William Robert LOGIE / Barbara HARKNESS ?
The only LOGIE I found was "John LOGIE - b. 1892 - Muirkirk" but in clicking onto that link, all it produced was "page not found" ??    (Also tried the link to Margaret L. G. Marshall Logie - again same problem with "page not found". )  ???

Hello again

Yes, these children's names (and corresponding dates of births) you have been given, are shown on the IGI (extracted records) as being the children of William (Note: no second christian name) LOGGIE [sic] and Barbara HARKNESS.   

*   Can you tell me please, how they connect to the following LOGIE which you have in your tree ?

John LOGIE - born 18 April 1892, Muirkirk, Ayrshire

[e.g.  Do you know names of the parents of your John LOGIE ?]

Cheers

Hi
I am a descendant of the Muirkirk Logies and have got a reasonable amount of information on them including immigration to Nz and some BDM Certs. Barbara Harkness Logie came to Nz with Mary Jane and Robert in 1891, George went in 1888 and Elizabeth (born 1858) and John arrived in 1879. Agnes and John Maxwell were the last to arrive. Hannah died 1865 aged 1 month and William (son) died in 1889. James was the only one to stay in Scotland where he married Mary Whitefield McInally - their son Frank (my GGrandfather) immigrated to Nz in 1926.
I only have one sticking piece and that is further back with GGGGGgrandmother Jean/Jane Goldies death!.

Cheers
Saasha
