Hi Dawn, Thank you for all your trouble. Both replies are great. Could i trouble you for the parents of Mary Johnstone m 16 Oct 1831.( The mother of David Mc Burnie Lawie, I guess her mother would be a McBurnie) I have the other Mary's parents as Christopher Johnson and Winifred Grainger so now know they are incorrect. Regards Carol ( in NZ )

Hi Dawn, thanks for getting back to me regarding Elizabeth Rae...best wishes to you and bub Carol

Thank you for looking anyway Dawn - I suspected it might be too long a list of possibles with such little info. Why do these Scots have to be so elusive?! And why didn't they just stay in Scotland instead of roaming around London, marrying all sorts of random people, dying young and confusing their future decendents?! Thanks, I'll keep doing my own digging and if I find more, I'll come begging again. Cheers Kat :-)
