Dear Linda, According to the index for the Old Kirkyard in Wigtown, no DUNCANs or LEYBURNs, etc., are buried there. I understand from Sandy Pittendreigh that the Dumfries and Galloway Family History Society has acquired permission to publish Jock Birchman's MI transcriptions in a series of booklets and that most should be available some time this year. About five years ago, Anton McLoughlin shared numerous Mochrum OPR transcripts with the Wig list. You didn't mention a son born in 1823, so this may interest you: DUNCAN James on 20 April 1823 at Portwilliam to John Duncan and Susanna Leyburn Regards, Mary Richardson At 10:12 AM 2/16/2011, [email protected] wrote: >I am researching a Susannah LEYBURN b. approx 1782 +/- 1 year.
