hi guys, well i got james waldie marriage cert and it didn't show any parents for him so i don't think i will ever find his folks. he was born in scotland and died in nz so they won't have  anything here for abirth certificate i shouldn't think.
I don't want to give up but don't know what else to do.

okey dokey, i won't give up yet JJ.
I found a norley relative in kent going back to 1650.
pretty amazing and found out there was a huge tragedy in 1683 in woodchurch kent england.
It turns out my, i think 4xgrandfather and his older brother were aged 3yr and 6yrs at the time. and nearly the whole village was wiped out by something. The mum died first in september and then their dad and uncle next in october.
the two boys survived and their uncles wife (aunty) survived. So am wondering if anyone has any tips on how i could find out what happened. I have tried a google serch on woodchurch 1683 but nothing pops up.
everyone was buried around the same time and together.

hello, again, well still looking for james waldie born 1855.
i am pretty sure he is david and janets son born st cuthbert scotland, i found the son john born 1852  but still no james.
I think i have found all of david's family, that is parents and 8 brothers and sisters.
so they weren't with coal merchants.
That's amazing how tom had been to the house of one family of waldies.
I have been researching my grandmothers name margaret blanche waldie as i was curious how she got the name blanche. It turn out there are blanche surname married to waldies there but nothing still to connect my james.
if any of you can help me here would be very appreciated.
just hope i can help anyone too.

hello everyone, just found my james waldie family ancestors and they were david waldie and janet cook from midlothian scotland. I found them by chance a few moments ago on ancestry when i signed in. I am ecstatic as this was a huge mystery solved by me and you guys with your tips. thankyou very much.
On the record it had my james name only for child of david waldie and janet cook, which makes it all the more special. And it shows davids parents john waldie and mary laing.
  i am over the moon.

I've been away for a month and just been catching up on your posts (warm sands quickly disappearing from my memory is this cold and wet London  )

I'm really pleased that you have found verification to the info we posted earlier  Brilliant that you found it! I wonder where the coal merchant family lore crept in from?

Regards.

Mrs magoo...I am a long time WALDIE researcher.Have just this morn read your posts and all the wonderful help you are getting.
Over the 25-30 I have gleaned way too much WALDIE material....so I though I would take a look...Well..Lo and behold,just a quick look produced this.
It is an Archive Record form Salt LAke,(when I was there.)
JAMES WILLIAM WALDIE born Aug 15 1855 Water of Leith (Sorry no parents listed)
Wife was..NAOMI GILBERT born Mar 30 1857 in Gunesalls,Cornwall,England.
She died May 17 1941 in Dunedin,Otago,NZ and buried 2 days later..same place.
Her Mother's name was ELIZABETH CONGDON.
This couple had 10 listed children..DAVID HANNIBAL WALDIE was born July 6 1877 in Dunedin,... married Mar 13 1901 to ___?___ BOWIE and he died Jan 30 1927.
This info was from a family Bible..a neice of Mable Jane Crab,who was the daughter of Mable Jane Crab...AND was submitted to the LDS for selaing etc.
Mable Jane was a younger sister to David H Waldie.
If you are interested I could scan this and send to you...but need an email address...

hello there, i thought i would start with the coal merchants as there were2 brothers waldies known to be doing that, but my waldie i found the parents of james waldie was a carter (distillery)
all that info you have there are my waldies, and it was mabel craib,  my e-mail is [email removed please use PM system]i would love any info, and great to find another researcher of waldies.  Dad knew nothing of his waldie rellies so have had to look for  awhile to find them.
my grandmother was the youngest of the 10 children and rather spoilt too i think. she was margaret blanche waldie.
she married twice one  was mr wilie and then my grandad roy stanley jacobs.
