• Notes

  Family #46. Known as Peter at marriage, but christened Patrick. Peter Dunsyre was a collier in Methilhill. He is the first Peter Dunsyre in the parish records, with the exception of a witness at an earlier baptism. The present Peter is a son of Andrew / Janet Hird only if he is the same person as the Patrick born to that couple in 1722. Why should we think so? Well, there is plenty of evidence in the parish records for this switch of first name around this time. Men who marry as a Patrick call themselves Peter when they register a child (e.g. Patrick Thomson m. Margaret Mathie in 1748, and christened children with her in 1759 and 1763 as peter Thomson: another Patrick Thomsonndid the same with Agnes Graeme in 1777 and 1792; and a third Patrick Thomson married Janet Anderson in Auchtertool in 1720, but was sometimes Patrick, sometimes Peter when they baptised children in Auchterderran. Patrick Gordon married Mary Gourlay in Scoonie in 1812, but called himself Peter Gordon for the christenings. And so on: there are many other examples. Why do that? In the Scotland of the mid-eighteenth century, many Irishmen had come over to work on the canals (as ‘navvies’) and in mining. Perhaps even a bond-slave collier (as Scottish miners all were at that time) did not wish to be identified as a ‘paddy’, and stopped answering to Patrick. The last birth of a Patrick Dunsyre in the old parish records was in Dysart in 1749.
