This website is mainly about members of the Laing family who are descendants of Alexander Fullerton Laing (1898-1935) and Elizabeth Jane Laing née Dunn (1893-1968). Alexander Fullerton Laing was born on 13th August 1898 in Jarrow, Durham, with the surname Fullerton, the son of James Fullerton and Elizabeth Fullerton née Robinson (b 1868/69). He added the surname Laing after his father died and his mother married James Laing (b 1866). Therefore most of the research has been into the Fullerton, Dunn and Robinson families.
This page has been added in case any of the members of the Laing families visiting this website are related to David Laing (b c1835 in Scotland), John Laing (b c1842 in Scotland), or any of their children, most of whom were born in Hebburn, Durham.
