Morning Blanche
Thank you for getting back to me ...my DNA results are definitely showing matches with Robert biology albeit distant so that seems OK but none of his daughter Jean/Jane is not old enough by a good 5 years to be my Jean Currie
I am happy to go with Robert and John as siblings however the fact that they both married an 'Elizabeth Fulton' bothers me a little ...there are two Elizabeth Fultons of the appropriate ages but it still seems weird to me
Do you have a tree out there anywhere that you are able to share?  The ones I can find either stop at Robert or John (not so many of John actually)  - I wish I could find a DNA match with one of John's descendents but they are MIA as usual:)  Thanks Marcella

It seems every January I loop around to George Murie and Lilias Taylor:) To answer the questions above (a year late) Jessie Scott Murie is the granddaughter of William Murie b 1802 - the daughter of William and Helen's son Alexander Murie.
I believe that my William is the William born to George Murie and Lilias Taylor in Perth in 1802. There is a marriage between a George Murie and a Lilias Taylor recorded in Perth in 1793.....possibly the same guys
I am trying to find the parents of both George and Lilias which is why I am hunting around in Greyfriars Cemetery.....it seems that George and Lilias may have lost two children in infancy: Mary and John are both buried at Greyfriars...perhaps George and Lilias are as well........is a lookup available at this cemetery   thx  Marcella

David Kinnear Murie is William and Helen's son - he is named for David Kinnear who married Helen's great aunt (Helen's mother's sister) quite late in life - they had no children
Helen's mother was Mary CROSS/CROSSER/CORSER - this maiden name comes down the descendent line as does the last name DONALD and CURRIE - all maiden names of various women in the family
My problem arises with my ggrandmother Jessie Scott MURIE - I was looking for the Scott in the family when I realized that the parents I had for William were not correct and his dc did not help me at all - now everyone is in disarray

William MURIE b 1802 Perth  d 1872 Clyde Canal drowning  married 1833, Dundee
Helen/Ellen Crosser/Corser DONALD b 1811 Dundee  d 1891 Glasgow

I believe Helen's parents were James DONALD and Mary CROSS/CROSSER
I am looking for William's parents..........

Thank u for your help
Marcella

Grrr NOT 1810 but 1801 - sorry
