(18-1-1847) married Jane Brooks(4-12-1858)In Glasgow 30-12- 1880.Their daughter Mary Elizabeth Purdie(1896)was my mother. Other children from that family were Alexander Morrison Purdie(1881) William Brooks Purdie(1883) Jane(1885) John Morrison Purdie (1887), and Thomas Brooks Purdie.

Joan (Cissie) Purdie or Clare

2004-09-26 15:51:08Z

Great aunt Cissie was an actress/singer with her husband John Clare's travelling concert party. She took ill and died quite young, while on tour at Saltburn-by-the-Sea or Redcar, sometime between 1924-1940, most likely in the late 1920s.
I can't find her death certificate in the English indexes.
Any help would be welcomed.

My grandfather was James Purdie Struthers, b 9/11/1865 in Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland. His mother was Mary Purdie, b 12/1838 in Larark, Lanarkshire. Came to US around 1890. She was married to James Struthers in Dalry in 1854. Mary's parents were James Purdie and Mary Gilfillen (married 1/12/1834 in Lanark. I think he was born in Lanark in 1811.

To any Purdie living in Scotland!

2003-07-21 02:00:19Z

Do you live in Scotland? Have you ever wondered about your line of Purdies that went to America? I live in North Carolina (where many Purdies settled). Although my line settled in Illinois and Canada, I would be happy to research Purdies in North Carolina if you can research my line of Purdies in Scotland.
Think about it, Kevin Jackson

Purdies from Clones, Co. Monaghan, ireland

2003-07-02 13:12:29Z

Hi,

My grandmother Elizabeth Purdie was born in Clones, Co. Monaghan in 1895/1896. Her parents were Michael Purdie and Bridget O'Neill. Elizabeth later married in Glasgow, Scotland in 1922, and lived in Kilsyth.

Any information on this family would be really helpful. I know Elizabeth had one or two siblings who emigrated to Manchester, England.

Thankyou.

Re: George Purdie/Mary Reid Ire/Scot

My grandfather's name was George Allan Purdie.
He was born in Boone, Iowa
Birth: 1 Apr 1907
Death: Aug 1964
He married Ellen Crary and had 4 children: Mary, John, David, and Joe (my dad).
His father was from Scotland, mother from Iowa. I am trying to find his father's family. Do you think they might be linked somehow?

Purdie info.

AdoptedPurdie — 2003-06-15 21:18:22Z

Any of this helpful, please let me know. Thomas Purdie married Nancy McAleese. Children, that I can confirm, are John and Margaret (there are others). Margaret married William Boal and with their two daughters, immigrated to Illinois, USA in 1909. John married Katherine Dornan (both Irish), adopted son William (born Scottish) and immigrated to Illinois, USA also in 1909. I have more info to share if you can show me your possible connection to this line.

Re: PURDIE ,IRELAND / SCOTLAND

rosemarymee — 2003-02-06 23:37:34Z

One of my ancestors was Robert Purdie of County Antrim-possibly from Ballymena-who came to Glasgow with his family and died there of typhus in the 1860s. He was a journeyman shoemaker, and was probably a generation older than the man you are researching. Have you tracked down anything about the Purdies in Ballymena?

Rosemary

Re: George Purdie/Mary Reid Ire/Scot

rosemarymee — 2002-12-11 21:22:53Z

Robert Purdie and Elizabeth Martin are in my direct line of ancestry. Their daughter Jane married Archibald Meechan in Glasgow in 1865. By that time, her mother Elizabeth Martin had died. However, her father Robert died of typhus in 1869 - he was a journeyman shoemaker. Witnesses at Jane's wedding included William and Elizabeth Purdie.
Can you shed any more light on the family, please?
