On 9 Jun 2003, Diana posted this birth announcement from the 15 Nov 1855 Wigtown Free Press: "At Newton-Stewart, on the 7th instant, the wife of Mr John Hinds, painter, of a son." So now we know the baby died a week later. From the online IGI, he was: JAMES HINDS Birth: 07 NOV 1855 Penninghame, Wigtown, Scotland Father: JOHN HINDS Mother: ELISABETH HAMLLEN Batch No.: C118951 His mother's name is most often recorded as Elizabeth HAM[P]DEN. I follow this family because I believe John HINDS was the brother of Jessie/Jess HINDS. She married Alexander LITTERICK, son of James LITTERICK and Mary/Marion McBRATNIE, who are buried next to my ggg-grandfather McBRATNIE in the Kirkinner kirkyard. Mary Richardson
