Lookup GREYFRIARS CEMETERY PERTH - MURIE

[Throth]

Is David Kinnear Murie, born Dundee, 4th August 1834, your William's son?

The 1851 census Kincardineshire has a William K. Murray born Perth 1801.

If this is also the same William, his mother may be a Kinnear

David Kinnear Murie is William and Helen's son - he is named for David Kinnear who married Helen's great aunt (Helen's mother's sister) quite late in life - they had no children
Helen's mother was Mary CROSS/CROSSER/CORSER - this maiden name comes down the descendent line as does the last name DONALD and CURRIE - all maiden names of various women in the family
My problem arises with my ggrandmother Jessie Scott MURIE - I was looking for the Scott in the family when I realized that the parents I had for William were not correct and his dc did not help me at all - now everyone is in disarray

Sorry I'm not following this .......

a) Is your great grandmother Jessie Scott Murie the daughter of John Scott Murie, or are you hoping that there is a link?

b) How is she related to William Murie and Helen Donald?

From SP:

George Muirie(note spelling) and Lillias Taylor had William Muirie in Perth in 1802.
Second son of William Murie and Helen Donald  was born George Murie in Dundee in 1837.

Seems a reasonable fit

It seems every January I loop around to George Murie and Lilias Taylor:) To answer the questions above (a year late) Jessie Scott Murie is the granddaughter of William Murie b 1802 - the daughter of William and Helen's son Alexander Murie.
I believe that my William is the William born to George Murie and Lilias Taylor in Perth in 1802. There is a marriage between a George Murie and a Lilias Taylor recorded in Perth in 1793.....possibly the same guys
I am trying to find the parents of both George and Lilias which is why I am hunting around in Greyfriars Cemetery.....it seems that George and Lilias may have lost two children in infancy: Mary and John are both buried at Greyfriars...perhaps George and Lilias are as well........is a lookup available at this cemetery   thx  Marcella
