Title: Francis Christie, Planemaker, Back Wynd, Aberdeen
Post by: astur on Sunday 12 June 11 11:00 BST (UK)

Hello,

I'm looking for any information about Francis Christie, Planemaker of Back Wynd in Aberdeen.  He married a Jane Alexander on 13 June 1800 at St Vigeans, Arbroath and had moved to Aberdeen by 1804.  He appears regularly in Aberdeen directories until the late 1830's.  Any help in tracing his birth, death and any other possible marriages would be appreciated.

there is a tree on Ancestry( that maybe yours) it has John Christie and Matilda Alexander as Francis's parents and shows Francis and his wife had a daughter Ann in 1821 (shows 1818 on the familysearch.org website)

there are a few more children to Francis and Jane on the Family Search website
