Hi Malcolm, Here are the Penninghame OPR records, as transcribed from the LDS film of the original baptism and marriage registers: 1834: James Kelly and Margaret Hannay had a Lawful child born 15th December and baptized the 21st named John 1837: James Kelly and Margaret Hannay had a Lawful Child born 11th August & baptized 1st September named William 1841: James Kelly and Margaret Hannay had a Lawful child born 25 March & baptized 18th April named Joseph 1846: James Kelly & Margaret Hannay had a Lawful daughter, born 11 April & baptized 24 May 1846, named Margaret 1849: James Kelly and Margaret Hannay had a Lawful daughter born 18 April and baptized 31 July 1849 named, Jane 1854: James Kelly & Elizabeth McClellan lawful Daughter Born 27th May Baptized 22d August 1854 named Mary James Kelly and Margaret Hannay Procld last time 5th October 1834 James Kelly Minnigaff and Elizabeth McClellan Penninghame proclaimed in Penninghame Church three times on 1st and 8th and married 12th June 1851 I do not have access to the Minnigaff OPR, so cannot help with that marriage record for James KELLY & Elizabeth McCLELLAN. From the IGI date, it seems likely to be the date of proclamation. Marriages were normally performed in the parish of the bride, and often at the residence of her parents, but banns had to be called in both parishes. I trawled through the baptism register from 1842 to1845 inclusive, but did not find your James KELLY jnr. Similarly, Kames KELLY snr was not found between 1800 and 1814, nor any issue of William KELLY & Margaret MacKAY. The index to the Wigtown Free Press has the following items under KELLY: Elizabeth McLelland d at NewtonStewart 1868 15/10 4g James d at Creebridge 1878 14/03 4f There were lots more items, but these were the only ones which I was able to see as likely to be your family.
