Hi Gadget.
James Lowden and Sarah Bostock were married 15April 1828 at Saddleworth, York, which was Sarah's place of residence. We have no info on James' origins.
Thanks for your interest, Lyn

Hi  Smiley

Just to update you all:

Eliza and I still can't find a marriage for William Lowden and Janet McRobert (variations). From the MI which I've quoted above, Janet seems considerably younger than Willam and I was wondering if there was an earlier marriage and this was a second one. I've not found anything so far  Sad

Ive found a baptism for a Jannet McRobert in Wigtownshire in 1783 but nothing to suggest that this is the same person but it could be.

I've also found a will of William Lowden of Culmain/Haugh of Urr in 1833 which is probably Williams's.

Eliza is having problems accessing this from SP so if any of those who are descendants of this couple might like to download it .........................

I'm beginning to think that I am related to everyone from the Stewartry Shocked My Janet Paton McMurray (1874 -1899) married James Murray McRobert (Abt 1871 -?) in 1893 in Creetown, Kirkmabreck parish.  His father was Andrew McRobert (b. abt 1840-?) and mother was Jane Murray (abt. 1840). Andrew's father was Alexander McRobert (1789-1873) and mother Mary Rain (1803-1883). I haven't included all the children as this would take up too much space, but some of them were born in Urr.

To add to the intrigue, Janet Paton McMurray's aunt, Isabella McMurray (1828-1892) married John Tweedie (1825 -1892). The latter's daughter, Janet Hannah Tweedie (1859 - abt. 1943) married John Cumming (s) (1840-1905). John Cumming's first wife is believed to be Jane Lowden/Louden/Lauden. Family lore has it this Jane was somehow related to the Tweedies and/or McMurrays. 

Sorry if this is confusing, but there may be a link somewhere  Huh If there are any specific names I can check in my tree, I'd be happy to do that.
