Subject: John Black GRACIE & Jess Mitchell LEBURN of Edinburgh - 1850's

G'day ,

I am trying to find the correct date of birth, place of birth and
confirm the parents of John Black GRACIE who married Jess Mitchel LEBURN
on 26 SEP 1818 Edinburgh Parish, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Scotland.

From his testament I find that John Black Gracie Esquire was writer to
the Signet and Commissary Clerk of Edinburgh at the time of his decease,
which happened at Caverhill, in the county of Peebles, on 10 May 1847
and he died worth £7211/17/10 which means he was probably a very
successful "solicitor/lawyer". He would surely have rated an
obituary(?).

Are there any descendents of this family who may know more on his early
life.

Thanks for any help...
