Hi, I am looking for an Andrew Morris who was in Whithorn about 1862/3. His occupation was given as a gamekeeper.
He had an illegal son by Sarah Carly (or Carlie) in Whithorn on the 15th March 1863. For some reason I seem to be unable to find Andrew Morris on any records in Dumfries and Galloway.
Can anyone help
Cheers,
Bob

Thanks for your reply. I see Broughtane Mains is only about 3 miles from Whithorn so there is a chance that this is the correct person. Although the surname is not correct it is not the first time we have come across this problem.
Thanks again, cheers

Hi Bob,
I just came across your message. Not sure if you have already found the information you were looking for, so thought I would send what I found.
Regards,
Charlene

Donald Tolmie......head......28...Dingwall, Ross-Shire...gamekeeper
Andrew Morris...assistant...23...Longforgan, Perthshire...gamekeeper assistant
Note: This is from a transcription, so I couldn't see the farm or estate on which the cottage was located - the farmer from Cutloy Farm was on the same page, but he may have been working on another nearby property.

There seem to be 2 threads on this topic, maybe they should be merged to prevent duplication of effort.

Hi, sorry about the delay in replying.
Thanks for the additional information, every little bit helps and this information has moved our tree to a completely different part of the country.
Yes I agree these threads need merged and I will do that once I work out how to !
Thanks again
