Hi,
I don`t know if there is anything on the net, but the Dumfries Archive Centre has quite a few M I`s of St Michaels. Perhaps if you e-mail them with a specific query they may be able to help.
Good Luck
Gilly

Yes its the same Margaret Adamson that was married to George Neisham and yes they had a daughter Grace who married John McGeoch.
My line is from Grace's sister Margaret.

Hi Sparkle
I have been doing a family tree for my friends husband and his line is from Grace she was his 2x great grandmother and one of Graces Grand daughters Jane Brown Creasy married into my Husbands family line as i live about 10 mins from St Michaels church during the week I will phone the minister and see if he can tell me exactly where the plot is and I will go and have a look at it and see if I can get an inscription from the head stone

Hi,
I have a copy of Memorials of St Michaels by William McDowell, dated 1876, but unfortunately there's no mention of Margaret in there - surprising as her death certificate clearly says she's buried there.
Incidentally, I am descended from Grace Neisham's brother Thomas! (although I have her mother as Margaret Adamson, not Anderson...)

Hi Ian
Its Adamson I have checked and rechecked all the certificates I have but as you know the information was only as good as the people giving it at the time its like her daughter margaret she had twins Elizabeth and Thomas it took me ages to find them then bingo they are with her in the 1871 census when she married William robson but they are under Douglas but the birth certs state clearly the were Illigitemate its taken me some sorting out to get everything matched up as some of the details on some certificates are wrong

Hi Ian and Helen
I am descended from Margaret Neisham, Grace and Thomas`s sister. Margaret`s daughter Elizabeth ( twin of Thomas) is my great grandmother. I have done quite a lot of research on the Neisham line and have also managed to find several other people in England and New Zealand descended from George Neisham and Margaret Adamson.
If I can be of any help just e-mail me, i would love to hear from you. I also live in Dumfries.
regards Gillian

You are right, it is Adamson.... small child tugging round my ankles yesterday when I wrote it so brain wasnt fully switched on, I've edited it now 
Its great to find so many descendants of George and Margaret.
Elizabeth Douglas/Neisham is my G.G. Granny so Gillian and I are relatively closely related
Helen... I was the other way around I was looking for a Douglas family for ages and could not decifer the surname that turned out to be Neisham
Ian - I wonder if Margaret Adamson/Neisham actually had a headstone if its not in the 1876 transcriptions? I recently wasnt happy when my Mum admitted we hadnt put up a headstone for my G. Granny, so its very possible that there wasnt one in the first place.
I would love to find George Neisham's grave as the trail seems to run cold from him. But I am still finding out interesting things about him such as his peninsular war medal was sold at auction in London in 1950.... anyone know any more??
This thread has made me

Hi Sparkle
What war medal did George Neisham have as on Margarets death cert it says he was an officer of the burgh I have emailed Rev Bond of the church to ask him if he can tell us where the plot is that Margaret and george are buried as soon as I have had a reply I will let you know and if he says where I will go and have a look as I only live 5 mins away from the church

Helen - Thats brilliant, fingers crossed theres a record of her grave
George served in the peninsular war as a corporal with the 94th foot (later merged with the Connaught Rangers) and was awarded the general military service medal years later (many men didnt live long enough to claim their medal in 1848) with three bars. I will happily email you all the details I have so far.
And yes he was a Burgh officer, but I've not found any definitive records to define what his role was, I think it may have been a bit like a modern day special constable, but thats more supposition on bits and bobs I have read up on than hard proof.
