I am trying to link my gg grandfather, James BEATTIE, b abt 1811 in Urr, Kirk. to new research I have made.
On IGI I found a Margaret BEATTIE, ch 1818, whose parents were James BEATTIE and Janet CONCHER. I wonder if she is the sister of my James BEATTIE. The date is good.
She apparently married a Hugh DURHAM in 1843 (IGI) in Kirk. and produced 8 children between 1844 and 1861.
On the 1851 census Hugh (35) is a farm servant in another household while a Margret BEATTIE (32) lives at a separate address with James BEATTIE (69) and 4 DURHAM children.
Does anyone have a connection to either a CONCHER or DURHAM family?
As always any help would beappreciated. Annette.

Anenette,
The IGI lists the following three children for James Beattie & Janet Coucher -
Jane Beattie - born May 4, 1823, Kirkgunzeion, Kirk., SCT
Jannet Beattie - born Nov 28, 1809, same birth place
Margaret Beattie - born April 26, 1818, same birth place -
no James listed, but perhaps an omission or mistake by transcriber?
good luck,
drakes

Drakes,
On closer perusal I realise that my James BEATTIE has named 3 of his children, Jannet, Jane and Margaret. Maybe they were just common names at the time but on the other hand, named after his siblings. Perhaps!!!

Annette,
I would pursue this one - sounds like a lot of the pieces fit - I do wish they had been a bit more inventive/unique with naming -  cetainly would have made my finding them a bit easier....
happy hunting,

Hello Jean,
I fiddled about on family search but could not find your Margaret at all.
It is difficult going back the 100 years and linking anyone together.
It is an unusual name - Concher, and quite probably may be related to this family somewhere.
We will keep looking and one never knows, one day someone will pop up and surprise us.
Thankyou for replying,
Annette
