My 5th x Great Grandmother was called Susanna Lowrie/Laurie baptised 25 Sep 1764 at Founders Hall Lothbury Scots Church, London, England daughter of John Lawrie/Lowrie.
The hall was used for religious services by both the Scottish Presbyterian Church in London and by Nonconformist preachers.
I have no idea if Susannah was the daughter of a Scottish Presbyterian or an English non conformist.
My DNA ethnicity estimate is 36% Irish/Ulster/Scotland.
Should I assume Susannah is the daughter of Scottish parents and is Lawrie/Lowrie a Scottish name? And where should I look next as I can't seem to find anything else on John Laurie/Lawrie or where in Scotland he came from or how he ended up in London.
Sussanah would go on to marry a William Hems in 1787.
Any help and guidance would be gratefully received.

When I was a child, I had a friend named "Sandy Lawrie". When it was raining, we used to call him, "Muddy truck.
True story. Unfortuately, he died in 1979 aged 26.
