The marriage appears on Scotland's People and Family Search. They have nine children between 1829 and 1848 baptised at various parishes of Kirkcowan, Whithorn and Penninghame. I've traced them through every census from 1841 to 1871, where he is an Ag Lab living at Challoch in Penninghame. In 1881, they have moved to Edinburgh, where he is a gardener. Both are aged around 75. But then they seem to disappear. I can't find any matching deaths after 1881 anywhere on Scotland's People. I'm wondering if anyone can recognise this couple or offer any suggestions for me to follow. Peter in Sydney

Would somebody local be able to give me the exact location of Craig Farm, near Wigtown. This is where the above family lived in 1841. The present owner looks to be Peter F Vance & Co. Peter in Sydney
