Hello Catriona
Thanks for the message. I am only able to guess at the time when James Laurie came over from Ireland to Scotland, though I would imagine that it was shortly after he married my great grandmother, Mary Ann Douglas, in Armagh in 1836.
they later lived in the area of Lennoxtown, where James was was probably employed in the textile printing industry.
I have searched the 1881 census for Scotland but can find no reference to a Hugh Laurie born in Ireland in 1859, though there are several men named Hugh with that birth date, born in Ireland, but with different surnames. If i can offer any other information please contact me again.
Regards,
Eric
