Barcaple House, Ringford, Castle Douglas
« on: Tuesday 02 May 06 12:28 BST (UK) »
I have an ancestor who died at Barcaple House in 1878 who was a member of the stock exchange.
Does anyone have any history of this house or 1871 census to see who lived there as I am not sure if he was visiting or if he owned the house.
The house is now owned by a christian society.
Any info on this house or its occupants around the 1870s/1880s would be helpful.
The name I am particularly interested in is Fildes although my Fildes wife had a middle name of Gladstone...

Re  Barcaple
Hi,  I don't know if this helps.
I read the will of Walter Montgomerie Neilson a couple of days ago.
It refers to Barcaple mansion being rented to Mrs Elizabeth G Pinching for £175 from whitsunday to 8th July 1889. Regards Vikki

Claudia, Hi!
My ancestors probably kept Barcaple House 'spic and span' and/or ploughed the fields, but that does not negate my interest  Cool My David McMurray was born 1879 at High Barcaple, as was his aunt, Isabella McMurray. I would be very interested in any history that unfolds. One never knows as not all posts are public. Please let me know if you have any break throughs!

Thank you
Scatza

I have some Maitlands in my family tree who lived at High Barcaple and thought that it was owned by them
