I'm looking for information about Hugh McCulloch (sometimes MacCulloch) and his wife Mary McHutcheon (spelt in various different ways, just to complicate things). I have not managed to find their birth or marriage details. Hugh died in Burnfoot, Carsphairn in 1871 aged 83, and Mary died in Burnfoot, Carsphairn in1863 aged 80. I have found records of their children.
From their death certificates, Hugh's parents were John McCulloch and Sarah (possibly McClownan); Mary's parents were William McCutcheon and Mary McMichael.
Any help greatly appreciated, whether info from OPR or MI.
Thanks
Iain

Hi! I can't help you one iota, but since this board has been so 'quiet' for so long, just wanted to send a word of encouragement without meaning to sound maternalistic  It has taken up to 5 years on various genealogy website discussion boards for an amazing gem to appear suddenly and unexpectedly...and so appreciated! I have family, not McCulloch, from Carspairn, so will keep a McCulloch eye open incase the name appears in any of the certificates I come across.
Patience is a virtue!

Tee Hee! "Sinners all ".....its in my genes ...whatever that means! Just keep going, the ancestors demand it. My most special moment was making contact with someone who is writing biographies for men who died in WWI. In Auchencairn there is a Memorial Monument with two of my more "modern' family member's names on it. I knew little about these two young men, except that they were the illigitmiate sons of my ancestral aunties. Their lives came 'alive' as a result of this contact; so special that someone unknown to me also cared about the sacrifice of their lives. I had the photographs, he had the research...amazing what one can do with collaboration. I am not a professional genealogist, but over the years it has been clear to me that sharing such things have special satisfaction beyond 'bucks'. On every certificate I download from The National Archives of Scotland (Scotlandspeople) there are at least two others that somebody else might be looking for :-) McCullochs might be amongst them ...... who knows, we might be related 
Keep posting!

Rootandbranch....how did I miss this? McGowen/McGowan. I am married to a McGowEn, but from Ireland as far as I have been able to ascertain. A McGowen who came to the American Colonies around 1780, just after, or maybe before, the Revolutionary War. Unfortunately my research on this side has lagged ....and I have found no relationship with Stewartry of Kirkcudbright McGowens and my Mcmurrays from there so far. Where are your McGowens from?

Nothing at all on Mary or a marriage/banns for her possible parents. I've got some other sources that I'll look at but not too hopeful there

Gadget, thanks v much for the info on Hugh's baptism. As it happens, I was in Edinburgh today and found the record you mention along with his siblings William (7 Oct 1975), Anne (22 Dec 1789) and Thomas Moffat McCulloch (4 Oct 1792), all under ref 617, 001, frame 283 on the microfilm. So progress at last.
Thanks for your help

Hi again Iain
Russell - Runner on this forum - has quite a lot of information on Carsphairn as his wife's ancestors were from there. He's been busy for the last few days with current family events but I think he will be back tonight/tomorrow. I know they were down there recently looking for MIs so he might have something on your family.
Send him a PM.I'm sure he will help if he can.
Good luck

Hi. I saw the name McCulloch and wondered if you knew there are still McCullochs as far as I know, who have been farmers for several generations in Kirkmabreck Parish Creetown area? The farm is called Auchenlarie.

Hi duckweed
Kirkmabreck and Carsphairn are quite a good way apart though.
There are quite a few McCullochs in KKD. It was a local name.
Regards and Season's Greetings
