Hi Anne,

I can help out a little here.

David Lammie and Isobel McMichael had at least 3 sons - Robert (5 March 1844), William (22 April 1846), and George (5 September 1848), all born in Kirkconnel. As these are OPR records you should assume that these are christening dates.

David then married Jane Gall 17 November 1853 in Kirkconnel.

Robert married Jeanie McGavin in Riccarton in 1871. This is the grave highlighted by Alex in an earlier posting.

A David Lammie died in Kirkconnel in 1898 aged 84. This would be consistent with your census record giving a birth c1814. The reference on Scotlands People is 834/00 0006. This should give you his parents.

My money would be on John Lambie and Margaret Lambie who had a William 'Lambie' christened in Kirkconnel 12 December 1802.

Again, all this would be consistent with the information posted by Alex.

If you are interested, I host the Lambie mailing list on Rootsweb to further research of all Lambie, Lammie, and Lamie variants.

Hope this helps,


Paul

Hi there,

I have just stumbled across this debate and believe that I can clear up one or two things here.

David Lammie the son of David Lambie and Mary Cowan was born in Sorn not Auchinleck -

Lammie John & David, lawful twins children of David Lammie, Mason near Catrine & Mary Cowan his spouse, were born 19th & baptized 26th February 1815.

David Lambie senior was the son of James Lamie and Jean Shaw. This means the connection is not as discussed here. David was a Mason as was his son.

By 1881, David was living in Newton on Ayr with his second wife Margaret McCreath and working on the Railways.

Its important to extend the search from Lammie to Lamie and Lambie as the spelling is down to the literacy of the local clergy. Every Lambie was Lammie in Sorn and Lamie then Lambie in Mauchline.

I can also tell you about Mary Wallace Lambie if anyone is interested?

I have extensive research on these families if I can help with more information.

Regards,

Paul Lambie
