I've just found this extremely long thread and thought I'd deal in my 2 Fife Laings. I see one has been mentioned already.
I have the spouse of a 2nd cousin 4 times removed, MARY LAING, c1819 probably Crail. She married David Cunningham and had 2 sons, James C & Alexander Laing C. The former had a son, David. This Laing married into my Dewar family.
The other is the spouse of a2nd cousin, twice removed, ELIZABETH LAING, b 16/10/1866 at Forgan. She married James Walker at Leuchars on 13/6/1890 and had a son Andrew. This Laing married into my Gourlay family.

Hi John

I have an Elizabeth Laing born 16 Oct 1866 in Flass, Forgan. She was the daughter of James Laing and Isabella Brunton. Do we have a match?

Dear Ostler
Certainly looks like her, same birthday and place. I don't have any information on her parentage. Mine married James Walker [b 24/9/1868, Dunbog] on 13/6/1890 at Leuchars.

He was the son of Catherine Walker nee Dewar a 1st cousin 3 times removed. Elizabeth and James had a son, Andrew, but that's where my current story ends.

I also have many Fife Bruntons in my tree but not this Isabella. My Bruntons also come about through marrying into the Dewars.

regards

If you have her marriage, how come you don't have her parents? They should have been on the certificate.

Tried to upload picture twice - but didn't manage it,  Not competent enough, I expect.  Weem is a beautiful place at the other end of General Wades bridge from Aberfeldy, Ostler.  My mum boasts about the glasshouses at Killiechassie as well, Mairi - and all that was grown in them.

Dear Ostler
I've never seen the marriage certificate. I got the information from a Dewar correspondent and currently can't put my hands on it to see if her parentage was shown.

I have found the certificate and it is indeed the same Elizabeth Laing. Are you a descendant of James Walker and Elizabeth Laing?
