Could be. Where in the world did that name pop up from its probably a place knowing the McMillans.
Edit to say: Well there's an Old Downie in Canoustie, Angus in fact I've been there its not far from where my half sister lives in Dundee. We stayed in Panmuire. Last edited by maggie_4_7; 11-03-10 at 11:23. |

Thanks for that I sort of can see Downie now but I am so doubtful about this mob. Can't see why they'd name her after an obscure part of Angus. Never seen the name before in my Scots! Auld Downie!
I wish these registrars had been made to write in block capitals! |

Auld and Downie are both Scottish surnames, so it might be nothing to do with the place.

But I didn't really know it said that until another opinion and also I have in my travels never seen either name yet on my Scottish Ancestry. It was just a flippant comment about the McMillans them being descended from Travellers and all that jazz Edit to say: I forgot to say - and in my curiosity searched for a marriage between a Auld and a Downie and only found one in 1982 in the whole of Scotland - well one that comes on the search anyway!
