Notes - PRIVATE
- «b»James«/b»' name is found on birth certificate of son, John.
The Birth Record for «u»John Lundie«/u» in the Old Parish Records reads
" «i»May 27 [1783] John son to James Lundie, miller at Horley Mill was baptised."
«b»«/i»The only record of the birth of a James Lundie about 1750 reads:
«/b»«i»
"James [deleted] Andrew [inserted] Lundie and Margaret [deleted] Marion [inserted] Grub in Wormyhills had a lawful son baptised James before the congregation."
«/i»Wormiehills is about 3 miles from Arbroath, and about 5 miles from Panbride.
«i»
«/i»However, it is unclear if this is our ancestor, for in a letter dated 13 Sept 1978 from Isobel Purves on behalf of her husband, Hugh Purves, to Norah Stone, Isobel gives the following information:
«b»"«i»Thomas Lundie of Glasswell«/b» took heirship to his father «b»Robert«/b» 1661, married 9 Jan 1701«b» Janet Bruce of Brechin.
John Lundie of Kirriemuir «/b»born 1701, married J«b»anet Walls.
James Lundie 1750 m Janet Mudie abt 1777 «/b»or 5, died 1811. Buried at Arbroath Abbey."«/i»
NO record of a birth of a James Lundie (abt 1750) to a John Lundie of Kirriemuir has been found.
However there is this record:
06/01/1725«tab»Lundie«tab»James«tab»John Lundie/«tab»U«tab»Lintrathen«tab»/Angus«tab»302/ 0010 0014«tab»
Lintrathen is only 7 miles from Kirriemuir.
In this account there is a 50 year gap, so it is possible that a generation has been misssed out as there is this record:
16/10/1746«tab»Lundie«tab»James«tab»James Lundie/Katren Gipson«tab»M«tab» Arbirlot«tab»/Angus«tab»271/ 0010 0133
who could be the father of James Lundie.«i»
«/i»At ths stage it is very unclear as the ancestor of James Lundie born 30 Jul 1749. TheOld Parish Records are notoriously incomplete, and lacking further evidence we cannot know for sure. We can only go on conjecture. From here back, the ancestors are therefore unproven.«i»

OPR Inverarity Marriages entry reads: «i»Feb 1, 1777. «b»James Lundie and Jean Mudie «/b»both in this parish both have given up their names for proclaimation in order for marriage and were proclaimed for the first time 9th
and were proclaimed for the second time
and were proclaimed for the third time 19th
they were married«/i»
