Hi Anne Many thanks for the link.The Jean (Stirling) Comrie mentioned is definitely my gggrandmother The date is correct for Peter Comrie, the only problem is his age is down as 80 when he was just 50 when he died. Probably just an error Thankyou very much once again for your help Julie

Hi Julie That's great news,I thought Doug was probably your uncle. I did have contact with him through Rootschat a few years ago Do please give him my regards Tell him I'm Stephen's (from Herefordshire)sister from Carlisle Cumbria. It was really funny when Ste showed me some photos of Doug, we couldn't get over how much he looked like our cousin Geoff who is our dad's sister's son ! Also we think he's like our grandad was although, unfortunately, we only have one photo of him.So that makes us cousins twice removed I think Don't know how much information you have ( or want) but I could possibly dig a lot out if you're interested Best wishes Julie xx

Hi Julie Thanks for your post. Afraid I don't have access to my tree on Ancestry any more but  I have a feeling that my brother was in touch with someone from your branch of the family a few years ago. Sadly we lost my brother Stephen last year. His wife Marylin is away on holiday at the moment so  I'll get in touch with her when she gets back. As far as I remember, a Douglas Comrie and his wife came over to England from Australia  and actually called to see Stephen ! Douglas had researched his side of the tree and gave Ste a copy. I have a copy and will have to look it out. I seem to remember that Matthew Dick was well to do ( did he own a mine perhaps?)If he had a son called William Hope, we are on the right family. I had an uncle who was named after him Hope this makes sense !! Best wishes Julie

Hi Bletherer As you may have seen from a previous post, unfortunately we realised that we had been on completely the wrong track when we researched your branch of the Bedwells We found that ours was another Bedwell family also living in Uckfield I'm afraid that, as it's a few years since we did our research, we no longer have access to our trees on Ancestry I'm so sorry that I can't be more helpful Good luck with your research  Best wishes Julie

Hi Kim,thanks for that. When my brother and I researched our family history a few years ago, he mainly concentrated on my dad's side and I did mum's.I'm almost sure that he  did use Scotlandspeople quite a lot then.He's away at the moment but I will get in touch when he gets back . Many thanks to you both for your help Julie

Hi Kim.Many thanks for this.Sorry, should have said, we did actually know that Helen Cleland Comrie had married Robert Shaw.Will have to check my tree again, think we did find her death but not his and also didn't manage to find any children from this marriage.
   Also, thankyou for the info on my grandfather's siblings .Again I will have to check my tree. I'm sure I didn't have all this. If you do manage to find anything more I would be Extremely grateful.
      Thanks again. Best wishes Julie

Hi Mary,my name is Julie and I am also a direct descendant .My ggrandfather was David Comrie Daniel's brother so I think that makes us cousins twice removed My grandad was James Anderson Comrie, son of David and Margaret Anderson.James was married twice, firstly in Scotland.They had 2 daughters then his wife died after childbirth.He came down to Cumberland (probably for work) and married my grandma Isobel Smith. He brought his older daughter with him and she grew up with his
2nd family of 2 girls and 3 boys.My dad another James Anderson was his oldest son 1917-1990.
I would love to have any information you could give me of Daniel's or any of the other members of the familyI never.knew my grandad as he died young so we never knew what happened to his younger daughter Ellen from his first marriage who was left in Kilsyth as a baby. I have a tree on ANCESTRY Comrie-Bedwell.Don't know if you have access but if you have ,you are very welcome to look Best wishes Julie

Hi again.We have our  branch of the Uckfield/Fletching Bedwells back as far as George Bedwell b 1791 Fletching d 1861  married Sarah Thorpe 1793-1864.Their son Peter 1829-12/1/1904 married Sarah Beer b 1832 Maresfield.Their son Jesse CH born Dec 1861-10/4/1904 married Alice Welfare 27/12/1872- 15/2/1926 Eastbourne. Their daughter Cecily Annie Barbera b Dec 1891 Fletching had a son William Cecil 1907-1939 (my husband's grandfather) Cecily married John Coombes Rice in 1917 and as we can't find any trace of them after this we think they may have possibly emigrated to South Africa as we believe he was South African.Thanks again for your interest :)

Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, since this was posted a few years ago, we discovered that advise we were given had put us on completely the wrong track and  we are actually connected to another Bedwell family from Uckfield in Sussex.Thanks again for your interest.
Best wishes Julie
