Hello everyone, Would anyone have a suggestion as to how I might find descendents of John Dalrymple, born 1790s who left Old Luce and emigrated to Liverpool prior to 1817? I have an 1817 letter from family in the Old/New Luce area verifying this. He was son of William Dalrymple, born around 1736-1740, est. whose wife was Agnes McClellan of the same area. The father William was son of John Dalrymple (1684-18 Aug. 1767 whose wife was Mary McHarg (22 Jan. 1696/97-5 March, 1779). They both died at Mark of Luce farm, Old Luce. I believe that John still has descendents in England, possibly around Liverpool, as current family has told me of a descendent who came to visit them a few years ago from that area. Please advise me of which way to look. Many thanks, Carolyn

Dear Everyone, Does anyone know of a William Fleming ( a cotton weaver) and wife Elizabeth Jackson(or any Flemings or Jacksons)living in the Leswalt area in the early 1800s? My 2x great grandmother Mary Ann Fleming was baptised in Leswalt on 6th May 1812.She grew up to marry Andrew Houston on 21st November in Clayhole. Thanks to Wayne, Diana and Bill for their information. Annette

Good afternoon all, I am new to this list. I have recently discovered (with the help of Meg) that my 4xgreat grandfather ROBERT RAINIE (RENNIE) was baptised in Genoch, New Luce on 5 Mar 1758. His parents were JOHN RAINIE and HELEN BODDAN, his sisters were MARY bap 12 June 1751 at Stonykirk, JEAN bap 27 May 1753 at Stonykirk, and AGNES bap 20 Jul 1755 in Genoch. Robert's (widowed) mother married ROBERT HANDCOCK on 15 June 1775 at Old Luce. I have been able to trace ROBERT back to Lochwinnoch, where he married MARGARET JOHNSTON in 1787. It now appears that ROBERT may have gone to Lochwinnoch with the McDowells, and became a Tenant farmer at Warbowie, which was part of the Castlesemple estate bought/owned by WILLIAM McDOWELL of Garthland and Castlesemple. Is it possible that "GENOCH' or "GLENLOCH" was the name of a farm on the Garthland Estate? Thanking you in advance, Barbara, Australia.

I have ancestors listed as being buried at Craigenquarroch, Portpatrick. Can anyone suggest a cemetery I should look in??? Thanks, Layton

Hello, all, Where to begin with the kudos! First to Diana Henry for her WFP postings, which took me back to my McLean-Hill-Hyslop-Clint lot when she included the birth of a male to JAMES HYSLOP CLINT and his wife AGNES McLEAN CLINT in Gorbals, Newton Stewart.. The location of GORBALS, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire, stimulated my interest as one Glasgow born-and-bred, where THE Gorbals is a very well-known, but not exactly a salubrious district.. Things are changing, though, just as Newton Stewart demolished old structures, so too were many of the old tenements in the Glasgow Gorbals. Many other older districts in Glasgow are also being regenerated.. Anton McLoughlin suggested I contact LibArchive@dumgal.gov.uk with my queries about (the) Gorbals in Newton Stewart, to which I received a very prompt reply from Cathy Gibb. As an Englishman (!!!☺☺☺), Anton has been a great source of information and help to me in establishing facts and figures about people and places in various parts of Scotland. Ian McClumpha (donkey's ages ago) put me on to the names and address of John McLean and his wife Agnes Hill in Newton Stewart. I had not known the name of Agnes McLean's mother up until that point. Jenelle McCarrick who digs and digs and digs to come up with different websites to investigate is a latter-day Agatha Christie. ☺☺☺ Nancy Seeds, Connecticut, as well as Olive McDonald, her relatives Wilson and Jean Ross, and friends John and Margaret Murphy, all helped to add more bits and pieces to the Clint family jigsaw puzzle. I am also in communication with Dennis Binns, editor of the Auchencairn History Society (Kirkcudbrightshire) publication, who has been able to help with some of the history of the village where some of my Clint lot settled. According to Cathy Gibb's research in the 1851 census, Gorbals ran from the end of Colton Mill (now King Street) to the Old Bridge end. This is now known as Arthur Street. The numbers 34-65 were on the east side and numbers 1-48 on the west side of the street. The street fell into decay and was redeveloped in the 1920s with a lot of the ground transferring to the Burgh Council. Gorbals is from the Gaelic Gort a' Bhaile meaning "field of the farm". It seems to have been a recognized name in Newton Stewart in the 1841 and 1851 census(es) but must have been changed at a later date. In the 1841 census the McLean family are living at 54 Gorbals -- John, Journeyman Shoemaker, aged 49. Agnes (Hill), aged 47, Agnes (McLean), aged 16 and Helen, aged 12. In the 1851 census widow Agnes (Hill) McLean, aged 60, appears living at 8 Gorbals with her daughter Agnes, a dressmaker, aged 25, both in Newton Stewart..... You can have a look at the trades and occupations of those living in the same street as we have an index to the 1851 census at www.dumga.gov.uk/lia (then click on Catalogues and Indexes and then on Historical Indexes) Just type Gorbals into the search box and Penninghame for the Parish and it will give you the whole street. There is an excellent photographic and local studies collection in the Ewart Library in Catherine Street. Our indexed newspapers are also a good source of information. JAMES CLINT appears in the Dumfries & Galloway Standard Newspaper indexes four times. 1865 11/12 4F Birth on 31 st November at Lochenling, Auchencairn, Mrs. James Clint of a son. (I have written to Dennis to ask what, where Lochenling is in Auchencairn.) 1873 19/7 4F Death of youngest son on 14 July 1874 14/11 4F Dearth of wife Agnes McLean on 7 November 1886 3/7 4H Marriage of eldest daughter Ellen to John Toul, 25 June and once in the Wigtown Free Press 1854 4/5 4G Mrs. James Clint of a son of Gorbals, Newton Stewart. Agnes McLean married James Clint on 5 March 1854 in Penninghame Parish. Unfortunately no death records survive for Penninghame to establish when John and Agnes McLean died. We hold all the census(es) from 1841-1901 and the Old Parish Registers as well up to the start of registration in 1855.

Peter Clint died at the age of 47 and is buried in Sighthill Cemetery, Springburn, Glasgow. I am his granddaughter. If I've omitted any names of others who have helped me in my ongoing search, my apologies. Maisie (Mary Brown Clint Egger, formerly of Glasgow, and now of chilly Paso Robles, California)

(Cunningham may have had estate in the Whithorn area of Wigtownshire and also in the plantation of co. Donegal, Ireland). ................... Domestic Annals of Scotland. c.1599 M'Alexander of Drumachryne in Ayrshire had a lease of the teinds of his estate from the Laird of Girvanmains, who in his turn was head-tenant of these teinds from the Earl of Cassius (Cassillis ?). (Some members of families of McAlexander, Cunningham, Cathcart & Adair appear to have emigrated to Ireland early 1600s. The McAlexander families appear to have been from an area north of Mochrum.) 'But this Drumachryne, being ane proud man, wald now be tenant to my lord himself, and his man. [That is, he preferred being man or vassal to the earl.] The Laird of Girvanmains came to my lord, and said his lordship "had [done him wrang] in setting of his teinds to his awn man ower his head; and for ony gains he sall reap by that deed, the same sall be but small." My lord answerit and said: "Ye dar not find fault with him; for, an ye do, we knaw whare ye dwell." The other said: "An he bide by that deed, he should repent the same, do for him wha likit!" My lord said: "Ye dar not steir him for your craig [neck]!" and bade him gang to his yett [gate]. The Laird of Girvanmains rides his ways, and thinking that the Laird of Drumachryne wald come after him, he stayit, and his twa servants with him, on a muir called Craigdow, behind ane knowe [knoll], while that he saw him coming.

Girvanmains pursues him, and his twa men with him, callit Gilbert M'Fiddes and William M'Fiddes, ane boy, wha was the spy.

My lord was very far offendit at this deed, and avowit to have ane mends thereof, and causit denounce Girvanmains to the horn; and did all he could to have his life, and wrack him in his geir.'-Hist. Ken. A less tragical, but equally characteristic affair occurred in the same district about the same period. Let it first be understood that Kennedy of Bargeny and the Earl of Cassius had long been on hostile terms. 'My lord, having ane decreet against ane servant, of the (Kennedy ?) Laird of Bargeny's, callit John M'Alexander, of the lands of Dangart.... wald put the same in execution, and intromit with the haill corns that was upon the grund; and send his household servants, and gait [caused] intromit with some of the corns, and shore ane part thereof. This coming to the Laird of Bargeny's ears, he loups on in Ardstinchar, and rides to the land, and with horse and carts brought the corns that they had shorn with him to Ardstinchar; for, he said: "My lord had nae richt to the corns, albeit he had obteenit deereet against the land." This being on the Saturday, my lord provides with all his force he can, against Monday, to shear the rest of the corns. And the Laird of Bargeny, in the same manner, provides for the same effect. The Laird of Bargeny, [being] the nearest hand, comes first to the grund, and to the number of six hundred men on horse, with twa hundred hagbutters. And my Lord of! Ochiltree (Stewart ?) came also, with the number of ane hunder horse; so that, in all, he was, or [ere] twelve hours, the number of nine hunder men, on foot and horse.

But the Laird, being in the house and yards, and he having many basses and hagbuts of found with him, the same was onpossible for my lord to mend himself. But my Lord of Cathcart, (Laird of Carleton) being ane nobleman wha had married to his wife ane near kinswoman of my Lord Cassillis, (Kennedy)and his son having married the Laird of Bargeny's sister, travelled amang them, and took up the matter in this sort, that the laird should have the haill corns that was on the grund to his servant, and should find caution for the duty of the land, whilk was my lord's; and that my lord should come to the grund of the lands, and, according to his deereet, tak possession of the same, but not to steir the corns; ! and the Laird of Carleton (Cathcart of Genoch ?) and the Gudeman of Ar dmillan to be cautioners for the foresaid duty, and my lord fand caution not to trouble the corns, nor the man in the shearing of them.

Hi Malcolm, Here are the Penninghame OPR records, as transcribed from the LDS film of the original baptism and marriage registers: 1834: James Kelly and Margaret Hannay had a Lawful child born 15th December and baptized the 21st named John 1837: James Kelly and Margaret Hannay had a Lawful Child born 11th August & baptized 1st September named William 1841: James Kelly and Margaret Hannay had a Lawful child born 25 March & baptized 18th April named Joseph 1846: James Kelly & Margaret Hannay had a Lawful daughter, born 11 April & baptized 24 May 1846, named Margaret 1849: James Kelly and Margaret Hannay had a Lawful daughter born 18 April and baptized 31 July 1849 named, Jane 1854: James Kelly & Elizabeth McClellan lawful Daughter Born 27th May Baptized 22d August 1854 named Mary James Kelly and Margaret Hannay Procld last time 5th October 1834 James Kelly Minnigaff and Elizabeth McClellan Penninghame proclaimed in Penninghame Church three times on 1st and 8th and married 12th June 1851 I do not have access to the Minnigaff OPR, so cannot help with that marriage record for James KELLY & Elizabeth McCLELLAN. From the IGI date, it seems likely to be the date of proclamation. Marriages were normally performed in the parish of the bride, and often at the residence of her parents, but banns had to be called in both parishes. I trawled through the baptism register from 1842 to1845 inclusive, but did not find your James KELLY jnr. Similarly, Kames KELLY snr was not found between 1800 and 1814, nor any issue of William KELLY & Margaret MacKAY. The index to the Wigtown Free Press has the following items under KELLY: Elizabeth McLelland d at NewtonStewart 1868 15/10 4g James d at Creebridge 1878 14/03 4f There were lots more items, but these were the only ones which I was able to see as likely to be your family.

There is quite a few posts on the list for HANNAY. I was wondering if anyone on the list can make a connection between the HANNAY and MORRISON family ? I have a Margaret Hannay Dodds Baptized 5 Aug 1811 Glasserton; her parents were John Dodds and Marion Morrison. John Dodds was from Ireland whilst Marion was born in Wigtown so i assume if there is a connection it must be through the Morrison line.
