Hi I am researching my great great grandfather alexander montgomery who was born in 1796 in Urr,Kirkcudbright.He was a baker and is listed in the 1820 directory at 104 High Street Dumfries..Parents are Andrew and Agnes Montgomery. He married Jane Welsh,(Born 1796 Irongray,Kirkcudbright) I am not sure where he married her as I have been unable to find any record. They ventured to New York where Alexander is listed in theManhatten New York City Directory 1829-1830 edition ,occupation baker at 100 Reade Street,rear. Page 407. They had 3 children Margaret 1827, AndrewSinclair 1828 and Jane Welsh 1832. Jane (wife ) died in the same year possibly of cholera in New York. Alexander must have gone back to Scotland with the children. In 1839 he married Martha Watson (nee Harris) in November 1839 and set sail to Australia with Martha and his eldest daughter Margaret. In the 1841 census his 2 other children Andrew and Jane were listed as living with Alexanders' brother Hugh in Kirkcudbrightshire. I was wondering if anyone has any info as to when and where Alexander and jane married. Also any info on his father Andrew 1758 - 1832 and mother Agnes Clogston 1757 - 1858 many thanks Shirl
