Can anyone help with burial places for:
William Mein b. 1805 New Abbey - died May 17 1874 at Kirkton
Janet Mein (Gracie) b. 1801 Terregles - died February 27 1864 at Locharbriggs.
Have looked at Kirkton churchyard cemetery, but nothing there.

Hi everyone
Is it possible that they were buried with parents or other relatives at New Abbey or Terregles? I know that in my case sometimes people were buried with in-laws etc. outside the area where they died.
Cupcake, did one of the Mein family marry a Strong?

Hi Lesley,
Have looked at the New Abbey & Terregles cemeteries. May have missed them. There a few at New Abbey, but didn't come accross a William.
Not sure if any married a Strong.
William Mein was my Great Grandmother ( Margaret Mein's father). She was bornTroqueer, Dumfries. They must have moved to Locharbriggs as William was a Quarry worker.
Margaret Mein married a Robert Johnstone Moffat -Plumber, English Street, Dumfries. Margaret had a daughter Janet Mein Moffat - Born Locharbriggs. She was my Grandmother. Margaret probably went home to Locharbriggs, to have her first born.
So, I have been looking for the Meins for a while now.
Thank you
Cupcake

Hello Audrey,
I spent a long time trying to find Margaret Mein's parents. It was year when my cousin from Australia was here, and she found them for me when she was helping with my research.
Margaret is my Great Grandmother.
William Mein b. 1806 married a Janet Gracie b. 1802. I believe they were married on the24th November 1827 at Kirkcudbright, Dumfriesshire. Going through my notes, William died - 17 May 1874. Janet died - 27 February 1864.
There children:
John b. 1831 Terregles
Jane b. 1833 Kirkcudbright
Mary b. 1835 Troqueer
James b. 1837 Troqueer
Elisabeth b. 1841 Irongray
Janet b. 1845 Irongray
Margaret b. 1847 Troqueer
There doesn't seem to be a Jessie. Perhaps she died in infancy.
Hope this helps with your search.

Reading your message again, I realise the Jessie Jane or Janet would be a sister of William.
William was born 1806. From the info I have, he had 3 sisters - Mary b. 23 February 1801 Jean b. 18 January 1803 Elisabeth b. 16 February 1812. and a brother Robert b. 2 August 1807.

Audrey,
My William was married to Janet Gracie.
Yes,Williams parents were John Mein and Jane/Jean Black. The Jean born in 1803 has to be Williams sister. I hope she is the Jessie you are looking for.

Hi Audrey,
Williams parents lived at Jericho, Locharbriggs, Dumfries. William at some stage moved out there and worked at the quarry.
Do you know who your Jessie married? and did she live in this area?
This is a long shot, but could this be her death. The age is about right.
Kirkmahoe Churchyard
THOMAS son of William Dalzell who died in Kirkton 8th Decr. 1848 aged 1 year and 8 months. Also JOHN his son who died 10th July 1857 aged 25 years also JOSEPH his son who died 26th April 1858 aged 14 Also JEAN MEAN his spouse who died Novr.21st 1863 aged 61 years Also the above WILLIAM DALZELL who died 16th April 1872 aged 68 years
