Hi folks I would like some help with a couple of queries I have my g,g,g,g,grandmother Agnes McKinnell m.s. Torrens, death certificate 6th Jan 1858 which say's she is buried in the 'Old Church Yard of Girthon'. (1) is there anyway of finding out the lair No & if there is other relatives in the plot as at present can't find out much about her spouse William McKinnal other than his name I have tried both Scot Origins & L.D.S. do any S.K.S. have the 1881 census for Back Street, Gatehouse of Fleet to Check if he was living then. (2) I also have her Daughter in Law,my g,g,g,grandmother Leonora McKinnel m.s. Hornby (Hornsby) death Cert. She passed away 4th Jan 1855, which gives her resting place as Church Yard, Girthon would this be the same Cemetery or the one further north of Gatehouse of Fleet, again I would like to find the lair No Regard's Samuel. N. McKinnell

This may be what you are looking for, Samuel. I don't have the volume of the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright monumental inscriptions that contains Girthon, so hope someone else on the list can help you with that part of your request. 1881 Census: 171 Pollokshaws Road, Govan, Lanark, Scotland McKINNELL John/head/Widower/69/Shoemaker/born Girthon, Kirkcudbright McKINNELL James/son/unmarried/37/Shoemaker/born Girthon McKINNELL Euphemia/dau/unmarried/35/housekeeper/born Girthon McKINNELL William/brother/unm/60/shoemaker/born Girthon There are no other William McKINNELLs in the 1881 for the Scottish lowlands. Good hunting! Jill > > I would like some help with a couple of queries I have my g,g,g,g,grandmother Agnes McKinnell m.s.
