Hi,
    Ages as given in census returns are often unreliable. The naming sequence of the Ralston / Perrie marriage is broadly right for the Perrie side ; Daniel , James, Thomas and William were all family names. And the James would also fit with the Ralston side. best wishes - W.P.

Hello to all,
                 The Robert Perrie who married Ann Robertson was born in Larbert in 1813 and was the fourth? child of John (Junior) Perrie (family pronunciation was always as in Peerie) and Isabella Wilson. I am a fifth generation direct descendant of that John Perrie. His father was that John Perrie (Peery) who married Janet Laing in 1758 in Larbert.  The line then goes back via Robert (Pirrie/Perrie) christened 1706 in St. Ninian's to another John (1676) and then (probably) to William.  Best regards to all - Walter Perrie

Hi,
      The Wilson-Laird connection, as seems characteristic of the time seems to cross several generations with Perrie/Pirie/Peerie. My direct connection is with Isobel Wilson bapt 11/10/1789, daughter of Rbt Wilson and Isobel Laird. In 1809 she marries John Pirrie - my gt x 3 grandfather. But without knowing the whole complex of relationships it is difficult to know how it came about. Geography and employment were the links  and cross-sibling marriages seem to have been common - where 2 siblings of X marry two siblings (or cousins) of Y. Because social encounters did not usually extend beyond such groups.  Best Regards - Walter Perrie

Hello again.  If you are descended from Rbt P., Isabella Wilson is Robert Perrie's mother and therefore your direct ancestor - not an aunt. In Scots law and traditional usage, women could be known by their maiden names, which were not surrendered on marriage. So, not a gt x aunt but gt x mother.  Best wishes - W.

Dear Mary Alex,
                       Good to hear from you. We are very distant cousins since my descent is through Rbt's younger brother (James Macewan Perrie, my gt gt grandfather). I have Rbt as born in 1813 and James in 1821. Robt married Ann Robertson. The problem with tracing back beyond John P. and Isabella W took me years to solve. The solution  was that John was 20 years older. I have no death record for him. He was the son of John P. & Janet Laing (of St. Ninian's parish & Larbert, respectively). The family were in the Stirling/Bannockburn area as far back as I can trace - to about 1650. Before that there are no parochial records. I live in Dunning - about 25 miles from Stirling. I can send you more information later when I have a moment. My email is *

With good wishes,
Walter Perrie. 
ps. my line goes from me to James to Walter to James to James Macewan. Thence to John (Junior) (yr ancestor) to John to Robert (chr. 1706 @ St. N's) to John (chr.1676 @ St. N's) to William.

Lanarkshire / Re: Hilson/Perrie/McGowan of Larkhall

Hi,
     I have quite a lot of information on Perrie from Dalserf/Larkhall, since it's my father's family. But there were many cousins of assorted distance and I don't know the Hilson/McGowan connection. I can trace the Larkhall links back to their apparent origins in Stirlingshire (Larbert).  Let me know if this might be helpful. Regards, Walter Perrie

Hi.  Am wholly new to this forum. And a bit lost. However,  I note that Rbt. Wilson & Isabella Laird are my ancestors at 7 (?) generations. Their daughter Isabella married John Perrie who is my gt gt gt grandfather. The Perries (or Peerie in the family speak) were also from Larbert at that time. I have some information on them but all the information on the Wilsons is new to me and very interesting. I know that there were still Stirlingshire-Larbert framily links into the twentieth century. Any further information on Wilson/Perrie would be most welcome.  Walter Perrie
