My family lived in Gatehouse in the 1770's and earlier, and old family notes indicate their house was on the "Main" or "Front" street, next to the river. Can anyone tell me what the name of that street is now and if the old houses on that street still exist? Thanks for your help....

Sancti, thanks so much for giving me the website with the maps. I looked for a map and couldn't find one. This looks like a handy website for future use, too.

Hi Callywoods
You have replied to a post of mine before I think. You may be interested to learn that, as previously mentioned, my gtx2 grandmother was married in Back Fleet Street, Anworth Parish, in 1855 according to the Rites of the Holy Roman Catholic Church. I was told that there was a Catholic House there and a priest would have been called over from Kirkcudbright or further afield to carry out the ceremony. Well, I have found another relative married in Back Fleet Street in 1870 according to the Established Church of Scotland. Would this have meant that there wasn't a church there at all at that time? I think that I mentioned that I was told Back Fleet Street was now Catherine Street but that you had a slightly different opinion?
I will let you know if I find any others.

Hi Mary
I have just checked my old posts. I do apologise I have repeated myself. It's age - my excuse!
If you are interested, for your history of Gatehouse. My Marshall family were on both 1841 and 1851 census records at Creetown in Spittall Lennie Barn and then the Carpet Mill Barn. As tinkers I can just image them trecking overland to Gatehouse, or maybe they went by boat?
Can't wait for our annual trip up to SW Scotland.
Regards,
Judy
