Title: Harvie Family - Stevenston Ayrshire
Post by: liver007 on Monday 09 June 25 13:18 BST (UK)
I wonder if someone can help me.

I am researching the Harvie family, I know there could be variations of the surname.

What I currently have is: I do not have any documentation to back this info up.
         William Harvie Margaret Harvie nee Caldwall- they were married 1739
         DOB @1721.   DOB @1721

They had a son.   Alan Harvie. DOB 9 May 1742, born Stevenson Ayrshire
died 4 Feb 1804 -Stevenson Ayrshire married Jane Curdie 1775.

I am very interested regarding information regarding William and Margaret.

I know it is a long shot because I do not have any documentation to backup the information.

Thank you
Keith

Also on SP - Allan (note spelling) Harvie - birth 9.5.1742 - parents William Harvie & Margaret Caldwall (spelling)

Have you checked SP for births for William & Margaret?  Possible for William in 1710

I am afraid much of my information came from 2 well known ancestry sites and I have checked the the church of the latter day saints in the USA.

Scotlands People is the better site to use.  See my addition above re 1710 birth

Yes - best site for Scottish records.  Free to search the index but you have to buy credits if you want to download any of the documents
