I am looking for the birth of my 2x Great Grandmother, Jane Milligan. She was born c1815 in Kirkcudbrightshire. Her parents were James Milligan and Jane Hughan (from death cert) She married a Robert Lockhart (or Lockart) at Kirkcudbright in 1837. She died 1877 at Gatehouse of Fleet. I have tried the usual places without luck and cannot find her parents..

If so, there is a possible bpt. of her mother:
Kirkmabreck - 6 Nov 1778 Jean Hughan, daughter of Alexander Hughan
Jean/Jane are used interchangeably at this time.

I think your ancestors and mine must have known each other - Kells and Kirkmabreck 
There are some problems with the Kirkmabreck records, as I recall, I had problems with marriages, etc. around that time.
I notice that Jane might well have been Robert's second wife - he was a little older than her and seemed to have been married to a Hannah (?) earlier 
I'vechecked the MIs but nothing

Hi Gadget
Would his first wife be Hannah Trollop? I have 5 births to them in Girthon parish.
A rather unfortunate surname.

Yes - have you got the 1815 one where she's down as Mary Trollop - is it her or a sister
