The McCulloch/MacCulloch - The ancient Clan McCulloch is one of the oldest Scottish Clans and are mentioned as being the leading Clan in Myretown (now Monreith) and other lands in Wigtonshire in 743. Many McCullochs were transported to Ireland in 1603 where they formed part of the Plantation of Ulster. We have been unable to learn the parents of my gr.gr.gr. grandfather David McCulloch who married Elizabeth Anderson in the Parish of Stoneykirk on 30th November 1826. Here we find an Irish Anderson connection - From the IGI, we find a daughter born August 1796 Port o' Spittal to John Anderson and Janet Morrow. We know that this is the birtdate of our gr.gr.gr.gr. grandmother Elizabeth Anderson McCulloch. We checked back on the Parish records and find the notation that John Anderson and Janet Morrow were married at Donaghadee, Ireland on 28 November 1795 by Alexander Goudy and again in Stoneykirk Parish, Wigtownshire, Scotland on 20th December 1795 by Rev. Henry Blair. We do know that there were Morrow families in County Down. Following the Scottish naming pattern, Elizabeth should name her first daughter after her mother and she is named Janet. We do not have Janet with a son John, in our records, but there is a child by name of John age 10 in death records who died 31 December 1846 in this same parish that would fit right in the space where there is no birth in our records, so there is a possibility that this child may be ours, but if this is so, he was not on 1841 census. The Urquart Census of Portpatrick in 1832 David McCulloch is 31 and a farmer, Elizabeth is 30, Janet is 5, Mary is 3 and Margaret is 1. Both David and Elizabeth could read and they had lived in the Parish for 6 years. In 1841 Parish of Port Patrick, District No. 5, Farm of Knockwase, Crawloch and G.N. Knockglass taken the night of 6th of June 1841 we find:- David McCulloch 35 farmer Elizabeth - wife age 35 Janet - dau. age 13 Mary - dau age 11 Margaret - dau. age 9 James - son age 7 David - son age 3 Elizabeth- dau age 1 In 1851 Parish of Port Patrick, High Tibbert Elizabeth Anderson Head 50 widow Margaret McCulloch - dau. 17 - unable to work David son 13 scolar (sic) Robert son 8 scolar (sic) All are llsted as being born in the County In 1851 Parish of Inch, Bridgebank Jannet McCulloch age 22 servant unmarried born Wigtownshire, Port Patrick working at farm of Wm.

Margaret McGill was born 16th May 1834 to James McGill and Mary McQuaker of Kilhorn. Noted on census there is a James McGill who was born in Ireland, so possibly another connection with Ireland.
