Re: The Lairds of Leckie

bclenden — 2009-11-12 03:04:34Z

My Ancestors originated in Scotland, went to Ireland, not sure when, But John was born in 1772 moved back to Scotland in 1805.He brought his family to Canada in 1821 and settled in Lanark County, Ontario.

I haven' been able to find any siblings or parents records.. John's death is not in the Death registry for Ontario. He information came from a newspaper article. He and several Leckies are buried in Bunyan Cemetery.

If the book, The Lairds of Leckie, is still available I would certainly appreciate having a copy.

Hi Susan

I just found your message on the 'net. I am descended from Alexander Crilly's sister-in-law, Matilda Gordon nee Purvines (or Purveyance). In 1999 I undertook some research of Alexander's family in Bathurst for the 150th anniversary of Matilda's arrival in Australia. I also have photos of Alexander and his wife Catherine.

Are you interested in any of this?

Yes, John (Jack) Leckie returned to Victoria (visiting I think) and died there. He was married to Thyrza Sophia (nee Swinbourn) on 6-1-1900 in Mary St. Highgate WA. She was born 6-8-1887 in Brunswick VIC. and died 20-7-1942 in Cottesloe WA. Jack's father was Hugh b.1848-9 in Ballantrae to John Leckie and Mary Aitken. Hugh married Christina Maitland Sinclair HERRON c.1868 in Melbourne. It was her second marriage and she was first married to Robert DOIG.

Leckie/Pollock/Manderson

2005-05-05 02:39:26Z

Elizabeth LECKIE married Robert POLLOCK, a pianoforte maker, in Eastwood, Renfrew Scotland in 1852. They moved around a lot and had children in Glasgow, Kirkcudbright, Ayr and Rothesay, Bute. Two of the children had the middle name MANDERSON so perhaps it was a family name on either the POLLOCK or the LECKIE side..

The children wereThomas b 1855, Robert b 1858, ELizabeth b 1860, Robert b 1862,Alfred Manderson b 1864 and Margaret Manderson b 1859.
Can anyone tell me anything about Robert or Elizabeth's origins please?

My g/father was a JOHN LECKIE born in Brunswick Vic. Australia in 1873. He moved to the WA goldfields in the 1890's and then to Perth WA. where he made a name for himself chiefly as a football coach. He coached the 1st. WA side to beat Victoria in 1921. I think his wife was THYRZA and one of my aunts is named Thyrza. However I understand my g/mother's maiden name was SWINBOURNE.
His father was HUGH LECKIE and born in Ballantrae (family info. only) Hugh Leckie was married to CHRISTINA SINCLAIR MAITLAND HERRON who was born in Ayr in 1837.
Any help there? As you can see I am as lost as anyone else so any info. appreciated

Lisa, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. It's been a very hectic year for me.

My sister is a Leckie and I'm doing this for her. Her grandmothers name was Marion. My sister is 63. How old is your husband? My sisters father had re-married after he and my sister and my mother divorced. John, her father was in the Air Force during WW11. I believe he died some time ago.

Let me know if this sounds familiar.

Re: Leckie in Canada

V_Huntman — 2005-08-13 00:33:23Z

Thanks for your response. It's possible that it could be the same family. Do you know if Kenneth served in the RCAF during WW11?

I will contact my sister in Winnipeg and try to get more information from her. As soon as I hear from her, I will contact you.

Re: Tagert family in Chicago, originally from Vermont, including Carolyn M. Leckie

Wife of Adelbert Hugh Tagert was Mary J. Harvey. According to the 1900 U.S. Census she was born in New York and her parents were born in England.

Obituary says that Mary J. Tagert died Feb. 28, 1907, aged 55 years, in Chicago. The 1900 U.S. Census has her being born in December, 1851.

The obituary lists four surviving daughters, one being Carolyn Leckie. However, the 1900 U.S. Census lists Carrie Kay, not Carrie Leckie. Carrie's husband, A. E. Kay, and their two children, Gladys Kay and Adelbert H. T.Kay are also listed in the 1900 U.S. Census.
