John McGill death
« on: Saturday 24 October 09 12:49 UTC (UK) »
I am looking for the death of James McGill - he is shown as 44 years on the 1861 census at Berryland, Holywood.   I can't find his death on SP searching in Dumfries area.   I know he was married to Mary Laurie in 1837 at Holywood and had 3 daughters.   She died before 1851.

I want to find his mother's name - I know her first name was Jean on 1841 census and she died sometime between 1841 and 1851. His father was Adam McGill and I think he died in 1869 at Rowantree House near Thornhill.   No parents are shown as he was in the poorhouse and the governor signed the death.   He was born in Ireland so I don't think I will get any further with him.   He had a child Margaret around 1847 to a Agnes Walker but they never married and she is shown as a foundling on her death so don't think I will get any further back with her either!  She died in 1895.

Any ideas!

Hi tika and Jamjar

Thanks Wul,

Had a look at Holywood MI's but not luck.

I have searched 1871 census but no trace - didn't try 1881, although looked for marriages of children but too many to choose from!   Children were Janet b 1839, Jane b.1840 and Elizabeth b. 1847.

I have a James McGill on my family tree he is a descendant of my husband.  I have him married to Mary Laure in 1837 and they had 3 daughters and 1 son, Mary died in 1845.  She was from the Dunscore area.  James got remarried to a Lilias Imrie in 1852 and they had 2 daughters and 5 sons.  When they married they lived in the Holywood area but when James died he was working as a wool worker in St Michaels Street.  If I can be any more help please let me know

Thanks Kath,

Can you give me James's date of death.  I'm not sure it is the same James Mcgill as I have my James in 1861 shown as a widower with his father Adam at Berryland in Holywood.
Do you have any other info on his father Adam McGill.   I am tracing this for a friend who is related to Margaret McGill the illigitimate child of Adam.
