I seem to have several conections with other researchers. The names that I am interested in are : WALDIE, MOSCRIP, CURRIE, HANDYSIDE, ROBSON, WHITE, HUGGAN, LAING. My line is descended from Thomas WALDIE   chr. 1760 . Roxburgh and Helen (Nelly) Robson b. 1767. Morebatlle.  My G. Grandfather was Thomas WALDIE  b. 1824 lAND Steward at Mervinslaw & Harriet Currie  B.1832 Maxton. My Grandfather was James WALDIE b. St. Boswells, 1854. and Mary Ellen SMITH B. 14th Oct. 1869 Ridsdale, N'land.
Willing to exchange information on my findings to date.

Hello Umberto and Judy,

I don't know if I will be of any interest to either  of you, but I am also descended from Thomas Waldie (1760), through Robert (abt 1789 Roxborough) who travelled to London, Thomas (1829), Thomas (1851) and Albert Granville (18965), my grandfather. I have not done any original research, but have picked up information from here and there, including friendly help from members of this forum. I shall be happy to share all I have if this is of value.

In passing, I am not very confident with the data I have regarding Thomas (1760)'s ancestors, who I have as James (1722) married to Jean Wright (1725), James 1685, but no wife!, James 1645 married to Mary Laing and James 1616. So I would welcome any evidence to either prove or disprove these rather putative connections.

Thank you,

Kevin Waldie

Hi Val,

Sorry for the delay and also my response, for I have looked through my tree and connot find any connection to "your" George Waldie. Sorry for the disappointnment. However, as my tree carries on growing, I shall certainly keep an eye out for additional information concerning that branch. Best wishes, Kevin

Thanks again Susan.

It may well be that I'm near the end of what is knowable about this particular line of the Waldie family. Now, if only everyone had kept detailed diaries and deposited them in the records office all this would have been so much easier!  ;)

Thank you Susan for taking the time to help. And it is good to have another name, Brotherstone, to ponder.

I do agree that 1740 for a marriage seems a bit late- perhaps James was a bit shy? Would looking at the full certificate indicate the names of his parents? (Sorry I am new to this and I'm probably asking the obvious.) And I am even guessing that SP means Scotland's People :-[

Thanks again!

Kevin

Roxburghshire / James Waldie, Roxburgh 1685 (is lonely!)

Dear All,

I am interested in information concerning James Waldie, reportedly born in Roxburgh in 1685.  (I have seen a date of 23 Aug 1685- perhaps this refers to a christening).  James is shown on a number of “open” family trees as being the son of James Waldie (abt 1645) and Mary Laing (abt 1648) ,and also the father of James Waldie (1722-1767) from whom I have descended.

From what I can see the evidence surrounding James Waldie 1685 remains scanty. I am also a bit concerned that there appear to be no records of a spouse. 

I have looked through the forum but can see no previous discussion concerning this particular James Waldie. I will be very grateful to learn of any evidence that either confirms or refutes the connections I have assumed.  And if anyone can find James a wife he will certainly feel less lonely sitting on the family tree! :)

Thank you

Kevin
