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

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.

Post by: ev on Saturday 09 June 12 14:35 BST (UK)
The trees I've looked at have that Mary Longmuir marrying Alexander Christie in 1907
That might be incorrect  :-\
Really need to look at that 1912 marriage certificate to confirm ages and parents

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  :-\

Might get a bit confusing if your John Longmuir has a mother and a wife both called Mary Taylor , also
wondering if John's parents(Andrew Longmuir/Mary Taylor) were married  :-\

Hi apple666 ,

I note you already have a post on the Scotland General board -

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.
