I have little information regarding my maternal grandmother, Mary Crombie, who was born in Leith, Edinburgh in, I believe, 1879.She married Andrew Ewing and had 5 daughters. Her father was Alexander Crombie and her mother was Jessie Lockhart. I would kiss the feet of anyone who can find a picture of her.

Thanks for any help you can give,
Dorothy

Well in those days not many people had their photos taken so it's probably unlikely that you may find one

What about descendents of theirs, maybe one has family photos that have been passed through the family

Seems she died in 1915
