I don't have much information on him but have some on one of his children. Daughter Hannah (b 27 Feb 1820, Glenluce) married John McCrae (b. 26 Dec 1823, Kirkcowan). They had 4 children, including a son, John Milligan McCrae (b 18 Jan 1851, Glenluce). He, in turn, married Thomina Wilson (b. 25 Jan 1865, New Luce)on 5 Feb 1887 at Vicarhill, New Luce. Thomina was the sister of my grandfather, James Moffat Wilson--he married an Agnes McCreadie in 1905 in Glenluce. John and "Mina" had 8 children, one of whom was Hannah (b. June 1890 in Bargrennan. She immigrated 15 July 1911. She sailed aboard the Hesperian from Glasgow to Quebec city. From there she was going to her brother's farm in Calgary, Alberta,she was a shop assistant but her intended occupation was now going to be a housekeeper. The brother must have been John as the other two would have been too young. While working there she must have met her future husband, Barney Crockett. He was born in Ontario. I vagly remember my grandparents speaking about Barney and "Ciss" and think they were living in Medicine Hat Alberta in the early 1950's. While this does't give you any more information on William McCreadie, it does give a little insight on some other family members.
