Research Notes:
VARIANT SURNAMES
Andrew's father's surname first appeared in a marriage document as Tweedlie in 1819, but he was also Quigley in the baptism document of one of his children, Agnes, in 1827. Andrew started off as Tweedlie too. However, in the births of his children in Kirkcudbrightshire Scotland, the surname was recorded as Tweedie, an assimilation to the Scots traditional surname Tweedie. That then was the surname under which Andrew's death in 1888 was recorded.
