Archibald Hardie

I have never known anyone with the name Archibald to be called that in real life.  Every one was Archie.  I don't know if that was always the case though.

His marriage to Jean Baird was his second, having married Mary Miller when he was 22 and having four children with her.  He was 37 and still had a further three children including our Dorothea.  The first census we have access to tells us he was a shoemaker but we knew that already from Dorothea's birth record.  He was 76 which was old for those days and didn't make another census.

His ancestry seems straightforward but as all I really have is names and dates I haven't detailed it here.  His mother, Dorothy Davidson is the earliest occurence of Dorothy in our tree.
