Hello Sonja,
Here is an outline of Christina's paternal ancestry. I will post it here as who knows - it might be of interest to someone else too.
Christina's parents:
David PHILP and Ann LOW
David was born ca 1822, Aberdour.
David and Ann were married in 1842, entries in Dunfermline and Inverkeithing.
David died in 1885.
David's parents:
Andrew PHILP and Isabel HOY
Andrew was born in 1790 - the Aberdour parish register reads "1790 Aug 7th Born to John Philp and Margt Sharp his Spouse a son baptd 21st named Andrew".
Andrew and Isabel married in Ballingry in 1814.
Andrew died in 1839 - the Aberdour parish register reads "1839 Andrew Philp Labourer, residing at Burnthill, Par. of Dalgety 48 Died 1st August & was interred on 3rd Currt in the New Church Yard"
Andrew's parents:
John PHILP and Margaret SHARP
John was born 4 Oct, bap 15 Oct 1764, son of John PHILP and Christian LOCHTIE
John and Margaret married in 1787. The Aberdour parish register reads "1787 Oct 3d Contracted John Philip; and Margt Sharp in the parish of Beath, and after regular proclamation were married".
John married for a second time in 1801. The Aberdour parish register reads "Aberdour Parish Register 1801 - ?2d? May Contracted John Philp in this Parish & Catharine Johnston in Parish of Dalgety and after regular proclamation were married".
John and Catherine were at Bankhead, Dalgety in the 1841 census - John's son Robert was farming Bankhead.
I do not have John's death but he was still alive when his second wife Catherine died in 1847. The Aberdour parish register reads "1847 Catherine Johnston Wife of John Philp senr Keltie, Parish of Beath - 78 Died 18th March and was interred on 21st Currt in the Old Churchyard". John's son John was farming Grievesland, Kelty, Beath.
John's parents:
John PHILP and Christian LOCHTIE
I do not have John's birth or parents.
John and Christian were married on 7 Nov 1762. The Aberdour parish register reads "October ye 23d 1762 Contracted John Philp in the parish of Dumfermline (sic) and Chirstain (sic) Lochtie in this pairsh (sic), and being proclaimed ye 1st time ye 24th ye 2d time 31th an 3d time November 7th they were Maired (sic) after their proclamation".
I do not have John's death but Christian was a widow when she died in 1819.
Christian was born 12 Mar, bap 20 Mar 1743 at Burntisland, daughter of John LOCHTIE and Bettie CUMMIN.
She died in 1819. The Aberdour parish register reads "Decemr 20th 1819 Died at Braehead in this Parish Christian Lochtie Widow of John Philp aged 75 and was interred on the 23rd Currt in Auchtertool Church Yard".
Christian's parents:
John LOCHTIE and Elizabeth CUMMIN
I do not have John's birth date or parentage.
John and Elizabeth were married in 1730. The Aberdour parish register reads "Novr 28th 1730 This day contracted John Lochtie in ys and Elizabeth Cupar [sic] in the Parish of Dunfermline and [section all scrawled over] and Dec 6th pro 3io Dec 13th were married Dec 29th 1730". The Dunfermline parish register for Dec 1730 reads "John Lochtie in Aberdour parish & Elizabeth Cummin in ys Parish was married ye 29th".
I do not have John's death date.
Elizabeth (both forename and surname vary) was christened 11 Mar 1711. The Dunfermline parish register reads "John Cummin had a woman child born to him of his wife Margaret Lawsone the second day of March 1711 and baptized yd. eleventh day called Bessie witnesses John King and James Primrose."
I do not have Elizabeth/Bessie's death date.
Elizabeth/Bessie's parents:
John CUMMIN (various spellings) and Margaret LAWSON (various spellings).
John was probably born 1 Apr 1680 - he is probably the following in the Dunfermline parish register "1 Apr 1680 Johne Cumyn and Margaret Jak had Johne; witnesses, Andro Jak, Johne Peirson, David Trumble".
John married first a Grissall WALKER and had children between 1701 and 1707.
John married Margaret LAWSON on 3 Oct 1707 in Dunfermline.
John died 18 Mar 1743 in Torryburn.
Margaret's birth and parentage are uncertain.
Margaret, listed as a widow, died 15 Jun 1751 at Sillytown, Torryburn.
