I am on a mission to find every Rennie family member that were from Aberdeenshire, Scotland and that emigrated to Ontario, Canada, specifically the Wellington County area. My great great grandmother was Jean (Jane) Rennie married to George Lillie (Lily/Lilly) who came from Aberdeenshire to Guelph Township, Ontario in 1834 on their wedding trip. If they had waited a few years there would have been records on both sides of the Atlantic, but in their haste,they missed major dates for record keeping., but they did get beautiful land that they could call their own. It is written and my belief that her parents were John Rennie and Margaret Raeburn, but I cannot find either's death record or birth record, nor can I find the birth records for Jean(Jane) and George Lillie. They were married in Strichen, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, but because I find very few other records it is my belief that they were members of the Secession Church of Scotland. So, void of records I am starting in Canada with anyone whose last name is Rennie. I have pages with many lines and names. I have not as yet, put anything on the computer. I am looking for John and Margaret Raeburn Rainnie (Rennie), but cannot find them, so the Quest continues (different from "THE QUEST, if you know anything about BYU athletics!")
