Hi Annie and beans

I also have some currency problems (from Australia!) so I always buy my credits in lots of 30 - the minimum.  Trouble is the exchange rate varies every other day!! - so I just pick on a figure that I know is more than it will be and use that to watch the pennies!

At the minute I say $15AU  = 30 credits. The US $ is slightly better than mine, so you could probably work on $14 = 30 credits

But then I see Annie has provided the conversion and it is currently $11.71 (but the credit card charges a little extra) so about $US12 would cover it at the minute. Probably better to use Annie's link

hi trish the lds center closest to me is open on weekends which makes it extremely accessible for people who work all week the hrs weekdays is lmited and i am usually at work so the saturday hrs are great they will also make appoints for sundays for people with a work schedule that makes regular hours immpossible i spend alot of time on saturdays at the center.  it is a fascinating place did you know that only a fraction of their records are available on line at any given time. so just because you dont see it there doesnt mean  the lds doesnt have it.   i know that you are a more senior member but let me know if there is something i might be able to find at the center for you next time i go.  i would be happy to look up for you   beans

That's a very kind offer beans - many thanks. I have seen some of the information they have available & do go to my Centre occasionally, although since I keep finding more information online - not as much as I used to go. If anything comes up - I'll certainly ask

Hello "Beans",

I am aware of an Adam Drylie born about 1856 who married Margaret Boyd on 27th April, 1877 at North Church, Dunfermline. He married when he was about 21 then. A reasonable solution to the problem would be to do a search of the Death Certificates. Because of the time of his death, i.e post 1855, any such Death Certificate would show the names of his parents.

I certainly know Lumphinnans, which is just outside Cowdenbeath in Fife. My Gran Livingstone lived there in Sligo Street, as did her brother Joseph Livingstone.

Because of that approximate birth date of 1856, one wonders whether your Adam was the brother of Janet Stewart Drylie who was born on 6th November, 1857 at Dunfermline and Peter Drylie who was born on 3rd November, 1859. That middle name of Janet's enables me to state quite unarguably that those two individuals were the children of Peter Drylie and Janet Stewart. It's a bit of a long-shot, but is certainly well worth exploring.

I had also looked at an Adam Drylie who was born on 18th September, 1861 to Robert Drylie and Janet Brewer. However, I have tended to hesitate on that because since he was born on 18th Sept. 1861, he would have been under the age of 16 at the time of his wedding.

Do any of the names that I have given you strike a chord?

Kind regards,


Tom.

Incidentally, the Christian Name of Janet can be interchanged to Jessie!

hi tom this is one of the "errors" sent to me by somebody else that i am now trying to verify.  they listed his parents as catherine wilson and peter drylie however there is an adam listed on the 1771 census with peter drylie and  "jessie stewart" .  comebody suugested that maybe catherine died after giving birth but that isnt true because she died in 1899 at the poorhouse in dunfermline.  if peter did remarry then he took his son with him because adam is listed on the census as 15 and jessie or janet stewart is i think it said 34 i will have to go back and look.  the only thing about this adam that i am 100% certain of is that he was married to margaret boyd and that he died in a mining accident and his son john was a witness at the iquiry according to the dunfermline press. so i will have to buy some credits to find adams death certificate and see if it lists his parents and if so who they were. he died july 9 1900.  it has also been suggested that catherine and peter married after adams birth as the igi has an extracted record for an adam wilson born june 8 1856 to catherine wilson no father listed.  what do you think?  this is antoher one of those super puzzle.    beans

Hello "Beans",

I'm trying hard to piece together the bits and pieces that you're posting. Surely you're talking about a Census that was held in the year 1871 and not 1771! If I'm correct, then Adam shown as aged 15 would have been born in the year 1856, which ties in perfectly with what I've already suggested. It would also tie in very nicely with a marriage between Adam marrying Margaret Boyd on the 27th April, 1877, since he would have been 21 years old at the time of his marriage.

It looks quite likely that his parents were Peter Drylie and Janet (or Jessie) Stewart.

Kind regards,

Tom.
