Penney	Posted - 30 July 2011 : 03:49:14 Hi Helen Blyth I am in Australia ..You asked if Helen Laylaw married Robert Varrie Yes she Did on the 11 December 1813 in Dalton Lockerbie Dumfries Scotland They only had 2 Children Wiiliam and James My mother was A Varrie and I have done Her Family tree..And had Researchers do a lot of work on the Varrie Family I hope this help's You out in you inquire Noelleen Futcher
Forum-Master	Posted - 09 July 2010 : 15:35:41 It occurs to me that vary[varrie] might be an anglicised spelling of Mhairi. Mhairi is the vocative form of Mairi (Gaelic for Mary), used when speaking to Mairi. I've not seen it as a surname, but Mhairi is common enough in the Borders as a first name (sometimes pronounced Varrie, sometimes Marrie). I hope that helps, or at least is interesting.
