I have a large collection of genealogical material on the surname Comrie and would be willing to share it with interested parties. My great-great-grandfather William Comrie left Comrie in, I think, the 1850s and moved to Stenhousemuir and later to Falkirk. I was born in Falkirk in 1942 and named after my grandfather John Comrie in Grangemouth. I am currently the Registrant of the Comrie One-Name Study which was initiated by Professor Tony Wren, whose mother was a Comrie of the Fowlis Wester branch of the Comrie family.

I’m a descendant of the first Ferguson shepherd who lived at Lurg. He was the father of the Ferguson born there in 1802 mentioned by ECB. Lurg was occupied by 3 generations of Ferguson shepherds covering 100 years. I’d love to hear from anyone who shares a mutual interest or common ancestry. email aarunciman@gmail.comAlan Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01615146953910628319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265077437591138041.post-30749220135002704192021-10-26T06:43:18.436-07:002021-10-26T06:43:18.436-07:00Norval, we must be related.

I bought a book based on your Aunt's hard work and her wealth of knowledge. It’s an interesting read which has helped with my family research and to understand how life was for them. I would loved to have met her to ask her questions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16008311347795494238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265077437591138041.post-80158320961522240982021-04-05T05:01:51.561-07:002021-04-05T05:01:51.561-07:00The Miss Bain mentioned in the article was a geogr...The Miss Bain mentioned in the article was a geography teacher at Morison's Academy. I don't think that she would cycled to Perth - she drove a pre-war Austin 7. She was my aunt. Her sister was my mother, the L. F.

As a kid I never knew who she was, indeed she never had much time for me. My father lived his early years in Crieff, then Auchterarder. So I know not of the connection, he may have attended her school...who knows?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15423410349511262407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3265077437591138041.post-35473134759930414322014-06-02T22:45:53.299-07:002014-06-02T22:45:53.299-07:00Could I make an appointment to see you Tuesday 17t...Could I make an appointment to see you Tuesday 17th June morning !<br />Cherry<br />Cherry.taylor9@btinternet.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00847200096477154546noreply@blogger.com
