My 4X Great Grandparents were Gilbert Kelly married Jane Nielson on 21 May 1797 in Kirkcolm, Wigtownshire, Scotland. Pamela, I assume you are the author--or have already contacted the author--of the Personal CAMPBELL Family Tree on Ancestry.com that contains the link to your KELLY/NIELSON branch through Agnes' marriage to Alexander CAMPBELL? If not, then the 1841 Census for Alexander, Agnes and family in Kirkcolm Village, Wigtownshire includes: Gilbt Kelly, Tailor, age 65 (NB: rounded), born Ireland Jean Kelly, age 65 (NB: rounded), born Wigtownshire Their birth years due to rounding could actually be as early as 1770 and as late as 1780...<sigh> Neither Gilbert KELLY nor Jean/Jane NIELSON/NELSON Kelly could be found in the 1851 Census, so I am assuming that they both died between 1841 and 1851. I have more detail on their children, etc., which I am sending offlist in PDF format. Good luck in your search!

>From "The Way We Were" Wigtown Free Press 18th June, 1857 Thanks to the Free Press for these, there is no name given. The Ship "Fitz-James" crewed by sailors from the Stranraer district has arrived safely in Sydney after 98 days sailing. Capt. Hamilton and his crew are mostly natives of Kirkcolm. As proof of their successful voyage, only two out of 500 died, and they were a child and a toddler - although ten births occurred. The fishermen of Stranraer had some good hauls of herring on Tuesday morning last. The fish were very prime, and sold very quickly at a penny a piece. There were also quantities from Sandhead, Bay of Luce, which were if anything superior to those of Lochryan. Yesterday the town was also well supplied with herring and flounders - the later 10d per stone. Also arriving in Stranraer Harbour was the brig "Victor" from St. John's New Brunswick with a cargo of pine and timber for Messrs Robert Morland & Co. And in Wig Bay, Kirkcolm on Friday a smack "Isabella" left with a cargo of meal from Mr Hannah's mill there, and delivered it to Girvan on Saturday; and was ready to receive a cargo of coals for Mr Hannah, as a return cargo. 15th June, 1882 A Stranraer publican has served up the biggest oyster the area has ever seen. Mr McCulloch of the Downshire Arms, Stranraer showed us an oyster the other day caught somewhere in the Bay of Luce, measuring seven and a half inches in length by two inches thick. On being opened, it was found healthy and tender.

He was born in 1860 to William Blain and Mary Ann Paterson in Kirkcolm. Then by the 1871 census, James had moved with his mother and brothers to Leswalt (Address: Burgescroft) His father had disappeared, his mother is listed as the head of the family and there were very young children so I am assuming he may have died in Kirkcolm in the late 1860's or 1870. (I can find nothing regarding his death however.) The 1881 Census still show James and his mother and family living in Leswalt (Burges Farm Cottage) James is 20 at that time. The next information I have is when James and his wife Lydia Blain (Lydia Weldon) are boarding a ship in Glasgow to come to Canada in 1888. Lydia was born in Rutland England. In 1881, she was a cook working in The Vicarage in Battersea in London. I can find no information re their marriage. Is there anyone out there who may have some ! additional information regarding this couple. Thanks, Murray Blain Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

>From the Wigtownshire Free Press 31/1/1884 DEATHS HANNAY, Charles - (8)/12/1883 - At Maldon, Victoria, on the (8)th ult., Charles Hannay, (formerly from Barwhirran, Wigtownshire) aged 78 years - Friends will please accept of this the only intimation. Following the original by Diana, and subsequent postings by Mary and Jenny, here is a notice from the newspaper servicing the town of Maldon at the time: Tarrangower Times, Saturday December 8, p.2, col.5 IN MEMORANDUM At an early hour on the morning of the 6th inst., a much respected resident passed away from our midst - Mr Charles Hannay at the ripe age of 78. The deceased gentleman has for many years been a resident in Maldon, and will be remembered by young and old as a staunch adherent of the Presyterian Church, in the affairs of which he had always taken a zealous interest. He was ever ready with a kind and geneal smile and words of wisdom which made him a welcome visitor at many a cottage door. His name doesn't appear in the Victorian Probate Index, so he either didn't own much, or arranged things to avoid probate. Regards, Bruce

Hello List, Could someone please tell me if a babie would be named on a burial list as I know that my 2X Great Grandfather Andrew Campbell had a brother name Alexander Campbell born on 4 August 1824 but he must have died between 1824 and 1834 when his parents named another son Alexander. Also he had a sister named Isabella Campbell born 13 August 1841 but must have died before 1851 census unless Isabella would have been known as a nickname but did not find anyone in her age group. Thank you in advance for any information I might recieve. Kind regards Pamela J Groves

Could the family have been following Judaic custom of burying their dead before sundown? When I was growing up in Glasgow there was a fairly large Jewish community, and it's possible that there could have been other Jewish families who settled elsewhere in Scotland. Just a thought.
