Hi Cheryl, The IGI marriage record which Wayne reported was exracted from the Kirkcowan OPR. Here is my transcription of the original record: 1832 / Jan 3 / McDowall Peter to Mary Ann Milligan / Coachman / Kerrechtree Minnigaff / Village of Kirkowan (sic) The first residence is that of the groom. As he was at the time resident in the parish of Minnigaff, banns would have to be proclaimed there too. The IGI does not reflect this, but that is most likely due to the fact not being recorded in the Minnigaff marriage register. Regards, Bruce __________________ Cheryl. Welcome back to our Wig List. I had a quick look on the IGI for anything re: your Peter MCDOWALL and his wife Mary Anne MILLIGAN. The IGI shows marriage date as 03 Jan 1832 at Kirkcowan Parish. As you mentioned daughter Margaret was chr 20th Dec 1832 Edenkillie, Moray, but I could find no mention of son WILLIAM MCDOWALL. Peter McDOWALL was possibly born in Minnigaff Parish the son of Peter MCDOWALL and Margaret McCLYMONT. IGI: Film No: 538229. Further research is required. Perhaps others may have further info on your family.
