Berwickshire / Re: Thomas Guthrie
« on: Wednesday 27 January 10 04:54 GMT (UK)  »
Hi all, I just came across this thread. I was looking for info on a Thomas Guthrie from the area too, and I figure probably born around the same time also. He had a daughter Mary born around 1829 area. but I so far have no info on his Wife. I wonder if they are related?

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Re: Help with a birth record
« on: Thursday 29 October 09 04:59 GMT (UK)  »
WOW,

thank you so much both of you for trying and replying so fast!! I wish I found this site from the begining of this journey. I will remember about the posting rules too.

I have searched for Trammery Driver as an expression, but nothing came up. But that is what I thought it said too. Same for Andrew . I am assuming Chappel Dun is a Parish.

In this other document it lists John Purves as such.

Again, thank you very much for the help!

Hey there,

I was wondering where you got the info for Mary Lauder's death in 1937? From Scotlands people?

Thanks

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Help with a birth record
« on: Thursday 29 October 09 04:35 GMT (UK)  »
Hi there, I would greatly appreciate any help in deciphering this document. It has some great information on it like the Father's occupation , but I can not make out what it is. It also mentions Mary Lauder Purve's Grandfather, but again can not read what it is.

Thank you very much !!

Wow,

thank you for the info and so fast!

I did go to Sctlands people last night for the first time. I found Mary Lauder Purves's Birth info. It is hand written though and very hard to read. I wonder if they will ever digitize these records? I have had 5 people look at it trying to decipher a few of the things.

From what I gather it says something like " chapel Duns"? Or Chaptes. There is also John Purves's proffesion which is amazing !! I just can't make it out. Plus his Dad is mentioned, though I can not figure out if it is Andrew, Andreas or none of the above.

That is really interesting about the possible death. Perhaps that is my Great Grandmother you found!

It is amazing that a year ago , no one in the family new anything about anyone. After hundreds of hours I am really getting stuff. Probably the most interesting and rewarding thing I have ever undertaken.

Midlothian / Looking for info on John Purves/Mary Lauder

Hi there, I am looking for info on John Purves and his Wife Mary Lauder. I know very little at this point, but they married in Dec. 1882 in what I think says Duns Chapel? They had a Daughter named Mary Lauder Purves who Married Joseph White.

Thanks

Hey there,

I don't have any answers here regarding the John Purves you mention, but perhaps he is related to the John Purves I am looking for. He married Mary Lauder in 1882 in DUNS? They had a daughter Mary Lauder Purves.

Anyone have any ideas it would be great.

Thanks
Jeff
