Im new to this forum but interested if anyone could help me with my family trail..... Im lookin for my gg grandparents Peter and Christina Mclaren. Through Scotlands people I have gathered info that they both origionated from Perthshire and at some time moved to Newburagh Fife to keep a hotel/inn. The trail after the 1881 census runs dry. Peters father was David Mclaren, a stone mason form Perth and Christinas father (also a Mclaren!) is John and he is a farmer. The family ( the ones I know that is) ened up in Dysart but I dont know when.

Hello!
This might be a false alarm, but in the 1891 census I find a Peter McLaren (63) living with his wife "Christian" McLaren (67) in Cromdale, Moray. Christian might simply be a mistyping of Christina. I'm only looking at the transcription on another site, not a scan of the actual form. Both were born in Perthshire - Comrie and Little Dunkeld respectively. They have a son living with them, John (27). Peter is listed as a retired gamekeeper. As I said, might be a totally different couple but thought it worth bringing to your attention just in case.
Regards,
Joe

Sorry, me again!
Just checked the 1901 census and it actually is Christina. Peter and Christina McLaren are living with a family called Taylor in Abernethy which is near Newburgh is it not? Definitely worth checking out the documents at Scotland's People.Last edited by Joe Duffy; 16-08-2009 at 7:20 PM. Reason: typo

Hi gszparman (also Joe Duffy),
Don't worry about Christina vs Christian.
They were virtually interchangeable in Scotland (Christian usually the earlier spelling which became modernized as Christina).
Unfortunately, the IGI does not combine these names ...
gszparman, Just to help us search, could you please tell us what you know of the dates of birth of Peter & Christina, of when and where Peter & Christina married, and the names and years of birth of their known children.
Best of luck,
JAP
