DARRIE: researching this unusual name

[heiserca]

Various relations of mine, surnames Clazie, Clazy & Drummond, were from Allanton; all are recorded in the parish register at Edrom, in the old county of Berwickshire, not Northumberland.  Census listings for Allanton also were under Edrom parish.

reply to squirejay,my grt grt grandparents were anthony darrie and jean bain

[squirejay]

Jean Bain was the daughter of Isobel Brown Hopper (1827-1912) and George Bain (1814-1874), and her Sister, Mary Hopper (1849-1891) was my paternal Great Grand Mother, who married a John Alexander GIBSON in 1875 at Eastfield Greenlaw. They had two daughters Jane (1877-1931) and Rachel Ann (1880-1916), but were orphaned in 1891 and farmed out to relatives in Seaton Delaval and Edinburgh respectively
I will also send a PN with direct contact details
