Name Peter Currie referenced in Marriage details above was a misreading of the itallic writing in Isabella and Alexander Fairbairn's marriage certificate. Name is definitely Robert.
Daughter of Jane Handyside (born 8th Sept. 1799, Lilliesleaf, Rox., died 9th October 1878 Longnewton, Rox., daughter of Robert Handyside and Helen Hardie) and Robert Currie (born 1799, Hobkirk, Rox., died 31st January 1872, Longnewton, Rox. son of Andrew Currie and Elizabeth Riddale). I have details of other siblings and Handyside grandparents.
