Hi Ailsa, *Kirckcowan Deaths 1855 No 14:* * * Ann Douglas F 62 years Glenluce, 13 years Thomas Dalrymple, Farmer, Isabella Dalrymple, maiden name Douglas William Douglas, Grieve Isabella, Jane, James, Margaret, Thomas, Mary Anne, William, John, Peter 1855, November 4th, 11 h A.M. Farm house of Drumwhirrie Erysipelas of Face and head, for eight days, as certified by James Gillespie Surgeon who saw deceased on 4th November 1855 Church Yard of Kirkcowan, as certified by James McKie, Sexton James Douglas, Son At Kirkcowan, November 12th, John McNaughton, Registrar >From the list of her children, her second son and first daughter were named consistent with use of the naming tradition. Thus, it seems possible that the parents of her husband were named James and Jane. No guarantee, but something worth considering.

Ann's husband seems to be buried with a George DOUGLAS and Ann McKIE who might have been his parents. However I had thought his parents were William DOWGLAS and Jean McNAIRN of Two Mark, Old Luce. Fortunately Ann died on 4th November 1855 (at the age of 62). I checked the Wigtownshire Pages and found an Ann DOUGLAS who died in 1855 aged 62 but her death certificate has not yet been transcribed. I know the DC might not have much information about William but I thought it still might assist me to work out the relationship between William and the family he was buried with. Therefore could I ask Meg or Randy or whoever is now transcribing the 1855 death certificates to take a look at Ann DOUGLAS' DC for me? I would be very grateful to read the information it contains. With thanks, Ailsa
