Obituary from the Scottish Temperance League journal Oct 1891
Mrs Claud Macfie,Gogarburn It is with much regret we intimate the death of Mrs Macfie, wife of Claud Macfie, of Gogarburn, Midlothian. Which occurred on the 16th instant. Mrs Macfie had been ailing for some time, but was thought to be recovering, and no danger was apprehended until the day on which she died. So recently as the 4th of this month, she had remitted to the secretary of the League Mr Macfie�s annual subscription and her own, and payment for the Advisers and other periodicals which her husband and herself sent to a number of schools in different parts of Scotland for free distribution among the scholars. The deceased lady was of exceedingly amiable disposition, distinguished by an inborn courtesy and sensitive consideration for all around her, and was thus much loved by a large circle of friends, who will deeply mourn her departure. Endowed wit ha deeply sympathetic nature , and inspired with the spirit of Him who went about doing good, Mrs Macfie was profoundly interested in all philanthropic and Christian agencies which seek to promote the well being of the community. In various associations in and around Edinburgh she was a highly-valued and zealous worker, and gave liberally of her means for their support. Many among the poor in her own immediate neighbourhood will sadly miss her kindly presence and sympathising words, which enhanced the value of the benefactions she was ever ready cheerfully to bestow. Mrs Macfie was early identified with the temperance movement. For about forty years she was a warmly-attached member of the Scottish Temperance League and a most generous subscriber to its funds. By various methods and in a most liberal spirit, she sought to advance the total abstinence cause. The great reform that Mr. And Mrs. Macfie originated in the island of Islay affords a striking illustration of meritorious and successful work. For about five years, from 1857 to 1861, Mr and Mrs Macfie resided in Islay House, which became the centre of a most remarkable total abstinence movement, which extended over the entire island, and embraced a large proportion of its inhabitants. Mr. And Mrs. Macfie engaged agents of the Scottish Temperance League who addressed large meeting in the different localities with wonderful effect. Clergymen, teachers, farmers, and other came forward and took the pledge, total abstinence societies were formed, the children marched in procession from the schools to the place of meeting , and large additions were made night after night to the ranks of abstainers. The temperance advocates were hospitably entertained by Mr. And Mrs. Macfie at Islay House and were conveyed by them to the different villages and clachans to address the people on, to them, the novel doctrine of abstinence from alcoholic liquors. The Beneficent work thus initiated by Mr. And Mrs. Macfie in those bygone years took firm root and bears visible fruit to this day, there being many staunch and zealous temperance reformers in the island. The efforts of Mr and Mrs Macfie for the good of the inhabitants were not restricted to the promotion of the abstinence cause. The also manifested the liveliest interest in the schools in Islay, and monthly supplies of the Adviser and other temperance publications were and are still sent for free distribution among the children. The older inhabitants cherish grateful memories of the considerate kindness of Mrs Macfie during the years of her sojourn among them. Many a public cause in Scotland and elsewhere will suffer by her death, and in private circles more especially, she will be sorrowfully missed. Mrs Macfie was a sister of Mr Alexander Allan, of the Allan Line, and the fact that Mr and Mrs Allan are now abroad imparts a peculiar feeling of sadness to the melancholy event. With Mr Macfie and the wide circle of relatives we deeply sympathise in the sore bereavement they have sustained in the death of one so much esteemed and loved. |

In his book H B Timothy writes " Galt's name and that of his birthplace are connected with an event which helped to make both maritime and Canadian history. On June 1, 1819 the Jean , a square sterned carvel built brigantine with one deck and two masts, sailed on her maiden voyage from Greenock. This famous vessel, which in her time held the record for the fastest crossing from the Clyde coast to Quebec and was for several years one of the main connecting links between Britain and the Canadas was built at the Irvine shipyard by Gilkison, Thompson and Company. The Gilkison member of the firm: James Gilkison shipmaster of Irvine, who was one of the vessel's owners; and her captain, Alexander Allan , of Saltcoats in the parish of Ardrossan, were all relatives of John Galt.
The main purpose of this particular web page as I stated at the beginning was to relate the different families to the Macfie family of Greenock and Inverkip , but from the above quotation one can clearly see that within these families themselves there are many inter family relationships that were outside of the Macfie family one
The exercise of tracing the origins of the Galt family is quite willingly left to those interested members of this renown family. Suffice it to state H B Timothy politely begining his history of the Galt family writes
" In the ground of Montgreenan House which lie partly in Stewarton parish are the remains of a Waukmill. It is here that John Galt's grandfather, also named John Galt, lived and worked like his Stewarton forbears as a dyster; and it was here that his seafaring father, Captian John Galt was born in November 1750.( John Galt the grandfather was married in 1743 at Dundonald Ayshire to one Agnes Allan)

John Galt's three sons decided themselves that the possibilites in Canada were endless and they could not do wrong by returning so in early 1833 John and Thomas , left, John to a farm at Goderich where he later became Register of Huron County. Thomas put in six years at the Toronto headquarters of the Canada Company, then turned to the study of law and went on to become Chief Justice of Upper Canada (Ontario). Alexander Tilloch, took leave in 1834 , was nominated for junior clerkship in the office of the British American Land Company at Sherbrooke, Lower Canada ( Quebec), rose to the position of Commissioner , become involved in the county's politics and is well know as one of the Father of Confederation of the Dominion of Canada (1867).
John remained only until August of 1834 in his father's home, as he found the house and garden so surrounded by buildings that he was unable to "take the air" and so found himself a dwelling at Maybank Gourock.
That policy applied to or included Lower Canada as well, for writing from Downing St, London, to the Earl of Bathurst on Mar 9 1824, Galt mentioned being informed by Wilmot Horton that the gouvernment had resolved to dispose of the Crown reserves in Canada in connection with a general measure that was intended to embrace the waste lands of all the North American Colonies."

The booket titled " The Sugar Refining familes of Great Britian " by Geoffrey Fairrie, (1951) provides some of the information used in the web page . Futher confirmation of the Fairrie Macfie family connection was culled from the book "John Macfie of Edinburgh and his family: by JWS Macfie ( 1938) and the book titled "Notes on the Sugar Industry" by John M Hutcheson (1901)

Letters written by Agnes Macfie (ne Fairrie) 1813-1900 to her nephew James Fairrie (1832-1918) Steam Yacht MONA 9th Octr 1888. Dear James, When Mrs. Ewing of Canada was here she and the London Fairries were speaking a great deal about our ancestors in Irvine. I showed her your letter to me about the James C. Fairrie in Liverpool. She said she had heard of an Alexander Farrie, merchant in Kilbride, subscribing to a book in Glasgow in 1739. This may be the family referred to in Sheriff Blair's record where there were eight children. J. C. Farrie's father or grandfather may have been one of the eight. Mrs. Ewing wonders if the Register books in Irvine coud give some particuars of the Farrie family - I have so many present things to engage my attention that I cannot feel any or much interest in the past. Eliza Fairrie said her father told her that it was my father who changed the spelling of the name while at school - his Master said that if the word was to be pronounced long there shoud be an 'i' in the first syllable, so it was your grandfather who began to spell the name as we now do, and your Liverpool friend's spelling is the original. Andrew has gone to Beach and may have little time here on his return, so I thought it better to write this than to explain it to him. I am your affectionate Aunt Agnes Macfie Miss Dumas gave me a note about a Spanish Galleon 'Florencia' which was wrecked off the coast of Scotland after the invasion of the Spanish Armada. The Galleon was commanded by one Fereira, a Spanish Grandee of the first class who is supposed to be an ancestor of the Fairrie family. Edward Fairrie has in his possession an old Armada Medal. |
Part 2 Letters written by Agnes Macfie (ne Fairrie) 1813-1900 to her nephew James Fairrie (1832-1918) Steam Yacht MONA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Appin, Argyllshire 28th January 1892 My Dear James Yours of the 21st came opportunely when our cousin Mrs Ewing, who is much interested in our ancestors, was here. We did not learn anything new from the papers except the doubt thrown upon the idea that the Fairries came to Scotland in the Spanish Armada. Mrs Ewing remembers Aunty Nan saying that she had in her youth waded out to a gun which lay on the shore between Kilbride and Fairlie, said to have belonged to the Spanish Armada. Now Mrs. Ewing suggests that if anyone was at leisure in London and cared to go to the British Museum, they might look at the Record of the Armada to see whether any of the vessels were wrecked on the Firth of Clyde. |

Mr Hutcheson in his personal notes on the Fairrie family begins " The first Mr James Fairrie of whom I have any notes was born in 1688 and was a shipmaster at Irvine; the second was his son ,born 1730, who was a West India Merchant and shipowner; and the third James in succession, born 1754, was the originator of the firm of Messrs James Fairrie & Co, sugar refiners

Geffory Fairrie begins the story of his family as follows " James Fairrie was the third bearer of the Christian name and of the third generation of the family. He went to sea with his father in 1768 at the age of thirteen. He was later given command of the "Orangefield" and soon experienced the perils and privations of the sea since England was at war with america, France Spain and the Dutch whilst he was on a voyage from Pensacola to Jamaica in 1779. The "Orangefield" was attacked and captured near Point Pedro, on the north coast of Jamaica, by Spaniards from Cuba, and James was struck by bullets in the right arm, which was later a,putated in Green Island Harbour ,Jamaica. The "Orangefield" was recaptured and James regained his ship in Montego Bay, Jamaica, in November 1779. "
"James continued his seafaring life for some further 25 years, during which he spent the winter of 1787-1788 in Quebec, building a ship, the "Alfred" in which on her maiden voyage he carried a cargo of wheat to Barcelona. Eventually he decided that life ashore would be less hazardous so, in 1797, he purchased a site at Cartsdyke Bridge, Greenock, and erected a sugar refinery under the name "James Fairrie Company"

"In 1809 Messers James Fairrie & Co erected a refinery at Cartsdyke Bridge; the site had been purchased or feued by Mr James Fairrie from the Rev William Willis, minister of the Associated Congregation at Crawfodsdyke, in 1797. His firm secured two additional pieces of ground in 1811 and 1815. Mr James Fairrie, who had been a shipmaster from many years, carried on this refinery til his death at Greenock and the 22nd December, 1815. Three of his sons continued it, and although thier ages were then only 25, 20 and 17 , they soon made thier mark- Mr John Fairrie, at first in Greenock and later in London; Mr Thomas Fairrie remained in Greenock all his life; and Mr Adam Fairrie, first in Greenock an then in Liverpool. The three brother continued in thier partnerships while they lived , each at the head of the business they established and carried on in London, Liverpool and Greenock. The refinery was frequently enlarged, and was in full operation until it was destroyed by fire in 1846. after which it was never rebuilt. The site became part of Messrs Scott & Sons' yard. " ( Hutcheson, 1901)
