Hi all ,
Think Mary's parents were Andrew Longmuir and Ann Findlay married 1876 Benholm Kincardine(SP)
Andrew Longmuir may have been married to Helen Reid in 1870 and had a son David

Hi all ,
Think Mary's parents were Andrew Longmuir and Ann Findlay married 1876 Benholm Kincardine(SP)
Andrew Longmuir may have been married to Helen Reid in 1870 and had a son David
Hi ev,wondered why there was a six year gap between David and John on the 1881,those two marriages would explain it.

Think Peter's mother may have been Ann Duncan.She and James Flett married 1880.

Did Peter Flett and Mary Longmuir have anything to do with Brechin Angus ?
Deceased online has -
Flett , Peter - buried 13th June 1961 Brechin Angus
SP - has a death that would seem to match that record , born c1884
Flett , Mary Longmuir - buried 10th Aug. 1976 Brechin Angus(DOL)
SP death that seems to match that record was born c1891
ev
-

Calibra ,
You really need to look at that 1912 marriage certificate. It should give the names of the parents of
Peter and Mary
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/
£7 buys 30 credits , each certificate costs 6 credits to look at
The certificate will be viewable online
Based on what we have so far I think Mary's parents are John Longmuir and Mary Taylor , however
there is another Mary Longmuir born in Kincardineshire c1891 :-\

Hi apple666 ,
I note you already have a post on the Scotland General board -
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,620911.0.html
Perhaps it would be best to give any details you have about your Alexander Christie on that post.

Thank you. I am so new to this site I could not figure out how to use it. I kept trying to email someone I wanted to talk to actually names Pittyman67 cause someone told me they thought we might be related. I am used to using ancestry.com and never thought of this site.
