Lanarkshire / Re: Looking for URE's, GRAY's, & SHAW's

Hello Uregirl,
My wife and I have also been researching the Ure family of Shotts and found that your Grandfather John Gray Ure was the brother of her Grandmother Jeannie Ure. There were actually seven children in the family - Jeannie, Robert, Henry (Harry), John, Elizabeth (Lizzie), Mary and Jessie.
Elizabeth was born around 1900 and later moved to Canada and married. She had no children, only a step-daughter.
Mary was born 1902 in Calderhead Shotts, married a Thomas Pettigrew, had no children and died in her early 30's.
Around 1910/11 the family were living in Wemyss area in Fife, as Robert Ure Snr. and two of his sons Robert and Harry were coal miners in one of the local collieries (possibly the "Rosie Pit").
Jeannie married John Birrell from Kennoway, Fife and lived the rest of her life there. She died in 1961.
Hope this info is of use to you in your search for your "roots".
