Perthshire / Re: Comrie family of Perthshire
« on: Monday 06 June 16 21:56 BST (UK) »
Over the weekend I bought an antique Scottish embroidery
sampler that was stitched by Jemima Byres Comrie. It is undated but the style tends to place it in around 1810-1850. I have been able to find a Jemima Sim Comrie who was born in about 1856, daughter of Peter Comrie (born in Comrie in about 1804) and Elizabeth Syme who were married in Duddingston, Midlothian. I presume this is not the right Jemima. Since I have NOTHING else to go on here, I was hoping that someone might have some ideas. I would love to find out more about the girl who stitched it.
