Hi
I also have a 4g grandfather named James Laurie but I don't think we are related. My MMMFMF, James Laurie III was from Dumfries (probably Kirkmahoe) and died at Milliganton, Dumfries in 1828. Probably a really common name in Scotland !! Cheers Di |

Hi Di, most of my Scottish names seem to be really common.
I have almost given up hope of finding early Scottish marriages and baptisms. |

This is a possible baptism, but I have no confidence that it is the correct one. I don't know how good the coverage of the IGI is for this part of Scotland.
name: James Laurie gender: Male baptism/christening date: 30 Jan 1766 baptism/christening place: BANCHORY-TERNAN, KINCARDINE father's name: Charles Laurie father's birthplace: indexing project (batch) number: C11252-4 |

On second thoughts, my James' first child was born in 1782 so perhaps this baptism is too late.

Having gone round in circles with the McLeans in my tree, I thought I'd have a look at this.
On Family Search, there is a James Laurie baptised in 1750 in Maryculter. Parents are Charles Laurie and Mary Ross. This public tree on Ancestry appears unsourced at first glance, but has lots of info. http://trees.ancestry.co.uk/tree/354...rson/631481392 |

Shona, many thanks for that. I'm not very practised at Scottish research. I hadn't thought to look to see if there was an Ancestry tree, so I'm off to have a good look.

Shona, it certainly seems to be well researched so far but the sources would have been handy.
Many thanks for finding this - I will have fun checking out the information. |

According to this tree, James Laurie married again after Christian Milne died and had quite a few more children.

You could contact the tree owner to ask about the sources.
