Dear Listers I have now received some Registry copies of marriage (GGG Grandparents) and birth/baptism - GG Grandfather George and his sister and brother. ie. Proclamation of Banns and Marriages dated 2nd December 1819 for Tongland in county of Kirkcudbright states: Alexander Miller from the parish of Balmaghie and Agnes Barcley of this parish after regular Proclamation for two successive sabbaths and married 2nd December 1819. Balmaghie county of Kirkudbright Births and Baptisms Registry entry dated 29/3/1825. Grissel C (?) Millar daughter of Alexander Millar tailor at Laurieston and Agnes Barcley was born the 11th (?) & Baptised the 26th of March 1825. Balmaghie county of Kirkudbright Births and Baptisms Registry entry dated 25/12/1827 George Millar son of Alexander Millar tailor at Laurieston and Agnes Barcley was born the 24th November & Baptised the 25 December 1827. Balmaghie county of Kirkudbright Births and Baptisms Registry entry dated 15/01/1830 Laurie McClement Millar son of Alexander Millar tailor at Laurieston and Agnes Barcley was born the 18th december 1829 & Baptised the 15th January 1830 A few more questions if anyone still has patience on this search to assist me: - How could I find more about Alexander Millar/Miller a tailor in Laurieston between 1825 and 1830. What chance of finding something in "1825/6 Southern Scotland Counties Pigot's Directories " which I ordered a few days ago ? - Where is/was Laurieston - I found a note that it was in the old county of Kincardine but am none the wiser ? Is there a decent map anywhere that I can see how all these places fit together ? - Does anyone have any details of any Millar/Miller family anywhere in this area at this time ? (Where I suppose the area covers Tongland, Balmaghie, Laurieston). Is Durisdeer a possibility. I know I've seen some Millars there. Regards Joy
