There is a reference to Springfield on a D&G council document about public roads. It mentions Chapmanton road running from Springfield to the roadend. There is now a Plant nursery on Chapmanton Road - which is unmarked. This would count as Crossmichael Parish I think.
That would place the location of Springfield on the north side of Castle Douglas just on the far side of the A75.

Yes it is.
It is visible on the old map here. Just keep zooming in. Select Historic tab at the top of the page.

http://geo.nls.uk/os6inch/google.html

In fact it is still on modern OS maps. Emrie Bell is shown on the modern OS map at multimap, just down the road from Springfield. They are now on opposite sides of the A75.

Hope this helps

thanks kirsty bell imrie villa name is from georga and janet nee bell surnames i have downloaded georges will and he has made good provision for his family it appears that he was a well off hard working man janet has been everybodys mother always surrounded by not only her own children but her relations children as well  there are big connections with ayrshire imries wood merchants and nursery seedsmen what i am trying to find as much as possible for is the hetherington connection i am pretty  sure some of them will be somewhere near them or have the name somewhere as a middle name  there is also connection with kells  new galloway      isnt it odd that all these people i have been looking for on the kirkcudbright side are all related janet kerr is janet imries neice the dicksons adam and abraham are brothers of mary  janet imries sisters mother in law what a mix up and there will be more   christeen

janet imrie had 2 aunts living at neptune cottage kirkcudbright in the 1851 census  margaret davidson who was the wife of captain william davidson buried caerlaverock and jane chesney they are both widows jane chesney has about 10 children as well so janet has lots of cousins in the area there is also a grace graham living with them i dont know if she is related born whithorn around 1792  in later census there are hetheringtons at that house but i dont know if they are connected   janets father was george bell millwright/joiner born ruthwell   all this family have connections with horses and wood  christeen

Neptune cottage is visible on this map if you zoom in until it is all greyscale.

http://geo.nls.uk/os6inch/google.html

It is on the north side of Kirkcudbright as you leave town on the Tongland Road, near the big bend in the River Dee. It is before you get to Low Boreland.
