Surname CARREY, in Glenluce
« on: Tuesday 18 April 06 14:07 UTC (UK) »
After some months trawling records for Glasgow (with thanks to those forum-users in the Lanark section), I have now traced my CAREY/CARREY family to Glenluce, Wigtonshire.
Unfortunately the OPRs do not yield any appropriate birth/baptism records in that area for a William Carrey, who would have been born around 1804.
There is always the possibility that his birth wasnt registered, and the family may have come from Northern Ireland initially; William himself marrying someone from Kilmarnock before the whole surname "migrates" to Glasgow.
I have no familiarity with the Glenluce area at all; what churches would be there, and would their records have been included in the OPR lists under Scotlandspeople? Or would Glenluce people have been recorded at another church/another area?

hi,
and old post, but maybe you are still around.
glenluce is a small village about 5 miles outside stranraer ( a link to your irish connection )
if i remember rightly, glenluce had only one small church ( sorry can't remember the name )
have you checked the stranraer records?
steve
just remembered, at one time, glenluce was called old luce, don't know if that helps

Old post but yes, I'm still here Smiley   I didnt expect many replies anyway.
I havent thought of checking Stranraer records, I suppose only because William's birthplace was actually stated as Glenluce on an 1871 Glasgow census. Its always possible that he might have been registered somewhere else, but considered himself to be from Glenluce.
I found a village website for Glenluce, unfortunately that didnt help an awful lot because I need actual records online to look at. Anyway, I can give Stranraer a bash at Scotlandspeople.
