Laing & Mackie Families from Leslie
I am looking for information on the Laing family and the Mackie Family form the parish of Leslie. My GGGGG Grandmother Elspet Mackie who was married to a George Meldrum on the 9th of August 1800, she had a sister Ann Mackie (Macky) who married William Laing in 1789 in Leslie. They had a son Alexander Laing who was born in 1790 in Leslie. Ann Died before 1794 when William remarried a Jean Robb in 1794 in Leslie and had the following children John (1795) William (1797) James (1799) Isabel (1801) Peter (1805) George (1812). They lived at Millfield in Leslie.

Hi Paul
What sort of information is it you are hoping to find? Are you looking to go back in time, or forward in time with the family? I'm guessing this is Leslie in FIFE...
Where have you found the information you already have? Have you looked at the OPR births, possible marriages and maybe deaths for the family? Census data?
If you can tell us a little about what research you have already done and where you have looked, it saves us possibly coming up with things you have already covered.
Best wishes

Re: Laing & Mackie Families from Leslie
Just saw your post and may be of some help. William LAING, who married Anne MACKIE and then Jean ROBB, is my ggg grandfather. However, Jean ROBB is my ggg grandmother, not Ann MACKIE. I do have lots of information for the LAING/ROBB family and their descendants. I also have some information on William's ancestors. Can you tell me what specifically you need?

Hello Barboo and ![[TS_welcome]](./images/smilies/TS_welcome.png "TS welcome")
Although this is an old post, PaulB28 is still a regular visitor on the forum, so he should be notified of your post. I'm sure he will be pleased to find a distant cousin!

Hi Barboo,
Sorry for taking long to get back to you. I am actually trying to get information on the Mackie family and I was hoping the connection to the Laing Family maybe give me some clues, As I said in my previous post, my fifth Great Grandmother was Elspet Mackie her sister was Anne Mackie who was married William Laing, I do have earlier baptism records for some of the George Meldrum and Elspet Mackie alot of the witnesses are the Laing's from Millfield.
Regards
Paul
