I don't see the John McHARRIE (b abt 1813) at Carngaan in the 1841 and 1851 census, in any later census, nor a matching death in Scottish civil records. Perhaps he emigrated, or died before 1855. There may be another means of assigning him as a son of the above couple. His daughter Euphemia shows up as a niece of John & Jane SPENCE at Ringuinea in 1871. Jane SPENCE is enumerated as Jane McHARRIE in the 1861 census, and is of suitable age to be a daughter of John McHARRIE & Isabella CAMPBELL. She died age 70, parish of Stoneykirk, in 1877. If you obtain her death registration from Scotlandspeople, you should be able to check if that is the case. Euphemia died age 35, parish of Stoneykirk, in 1879. I don't have a connection - my curiosity just got the better of me. Regards, Bruce Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
