Please can anyone advise if these are available?  Or even better, burial records.

Hi

Coincidence is amazing!  My wife and I had just come to the conclusion that we needed MI's for Carsphairn as well.
We are looking for Richard Jamieson detail. We were in the graveyard two days ago but most of the detail has been eroded.

Our best bet for help with this is Gadget the resident Kirkcudbright expert but she's off-line probably having a gourmet sea-food nosh-up!

If you can't wait you could try the Carsphairn Heritage centre
e-mail  carsphairnhg@hcentre.fsnet.co.uk

Their website is carsphairnheritage.co.uk  ]Just tried their website and it's not available   Embarrassed
folks there are extremely helpful.

I'm looking for a Thomas MacDonald died 1860, aged around 87, who I have been told is there.  (My ggggxgrandfather)   Plus any other MacDonalds who may be lying around (so to speak).

Hi

Russell has just drawn this to my attention. I was in London so missed your posting. I have the MIs but as it's a bit late, I'll check up on them tomorrow am. Some of the later burials aren't included but hope to find you some inscriptions.

PS and I'll check up on yours as well Russell  Smiley

Hi

I've checked the MIs. Sadly there are no McDonalds listed at all. Either they had no gravestone or the burial is too late for inclusion.
It is probably worth your while e-mailing or phoning D&G Council. Info here -

http://www.dumgal.gov.uk/dumgal/

They hold all available Lair Books in their Castle Douglas Offices.

I had a similar problem a while back and they were very helpful.

Sorry  Sad

Gadget

They might just be in Dalry or Kells - will check Smiley

Nothing there - sorry again

Thanks for that Gadget

There is a story attached to Richard Jamieson of Holm of Daltallochan Farm, Carsphairn. He was a wealthy farmer when he married Jessie Roan (my wife's great aunt) in 1862. He died tragically by drowning in 1869 having fathered 6 children  Shocked
He was in his fifties when he married his 23 year old bride   Shock, horror what have the Parish Records got to say about it?
On his way back from Dalmellington where he had hired a ploughman for the farm his horse apparently spooked - it was a stormy December night - and he fell into the river and was washed away. Poor pony stood all night in the freezing water unable to get out and was found the next day. trapped by a trap would sum it up!
Richard's body was not found until 4 months later miles downstream
His wallet and papers were intact so the poor ploughman he had sacked was absolved of foul play charges.
Jessie (Janet) ran the farm for a further 7 years before retiring to the house he had built for her in the village of Carsphairn nearby.
It's a sad but memorable story which the Carsphairn Heritage Centre group had recorded and published.
If you are ever passing pop in and see their displays, you'll be made most welcome.
