To Cliff and Iain, Rerrick became Auchencairn and Rerrick with a parish church in both communities - Auchencairn and Dundrennan. Rerrick Parish stretched from Kirkcudbright in the West to Buittle and Urr, (Dalbeattie) in the East and Kelton (Castle Douglas) in the north. On Google Earth, Dundrennan Abbey's postcode is DG6 4QH. To Vanessa, Many thanks for your various suggestions. David, who moved in with Wilhelmina’s parents, was their grandson aged 7. I've been on scotlandspeople and the 1861 census shows that Wilhelmina is widowed and as with her parents, she was recorded as being “Proprietor of House”. I can find no record between 1855 and 1861 on scotlandspeople or Rerrick OPRs 1853 to 1855 for a death of David Johnston(e). Does the Ewart or the FHS centre have records for 1853 – 1861 that scotlandspeople doesn’t have? I checked www.kirkyards.co.uk where the monumental inscriptions for Dundrennan Abbey, Rerrick Old and Auchencairn cemeteries are all transcribed. There is no mention of my Johnston(e) Family William Johnston Dumfries and Galloway -----Original Message----- From: dumfries-galloway-request@rootsweb.com To: dumfries-galloway@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 2 Jun 2010 8:02 Subject: DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY Digest, Vol 5, Issue 74 Today's Topics: 1.

If any of you have been as fortunate as I have to trace their Graham ancestry back into the 17th century in the Cumberland area you will be aware that Arthuret Parish in Cumberland is devoid of a lot of genealogical material such as Parish Registers & Bishop's Transcripts due to several factors. I have a project that I have been working on for some time and that is trying to create a time-line of what Graham families existed in Arthuret Parish and at what period in time. By using records such as "The Calendar of Border Papers", "The Border Manors", "The Debateable Land by T.J.Carlyle", "The History and Antiqities of Westmoreland & Cumberland by Nicholson & Burn" etc. it is possible to gain a good idea of what was going on with the Graham's from the 15th - 18th centuries. Admittedly a lot of guess work is entailed but it can be reasonably educated guesswork if various facts are supported by more than one publication. What I wish to ask of all of you Graham researchers is if you have even the smallest piece of information regarding a Graham over the period of the 16th & 17th and early 18th centuries I would appreciate receiving it so that I can add it to what I have so far accumulated. If you have such information, I would appreciate the actual wording of the item and the source reference. With assistance from you, maybe it will be possible to unravel some of the mystery of the Grahams on the English side of the Border and perhaps the Scottish side as well. Let's see where this will go. Best regards, Bruce Glass New Zealand ------------------------------------- Have a look at the surname list at www.dfnoble.com/CULnames.
