Dear McMeckan researchers, I am not too sure of this "Gateway" business.  I see you have to be a member to reply. I hope this reaches the people concerned. Here is an MI from Irvie/Kirkcolm  parish Churchyard which will be the same family living at Glen Cottage. No 38 in DGFS Booklet " Erected by Thomas McMECKAN, in memory of his mother in law Elizabeth  MURRAY, died 3rd July 1890, aged 82 years.  Also his wife Isabella MURRAY  who died at Glen cottage, Kirkcolm 6th June 1928, aged 79 years.  Also the above, Thomas McMECKAN who died at Glen Cottage, Kirkcolm 4th Feb. 1932, in his 82nd year.  "Gone but not forgotten".   I looked up the marriage of John McMeckan and Rebecca Hopewell. They were married on 12 June, 1931 at the Manse in Kirkcolm.  They lived at Glen Cottage, Kirkcolm.  Marriage performed by the Rev. Albert Torbett B.D. Minister of Kirkcolm. Witness was Mary Ann McMeckan, post Office, Kirkcolm. John was aged 36 he was a labourer and Rebecca Hopewell was aged 33 a Dairymaid. His parents were John McMeckan and Maria McMeckan,  m.s.McMeckan Her parents were Joseph Hopewell and Mary Murray. I hope this adds a little to your research.   Diana Henry
