REA/RAE in Wigtownshire, 16th to 17th Century
« on: Thursday 28 April 05 14:38 UTC (UK) »
I am looking for any data on REA/RAE families that lived in Wigtownshire during the 1500s and 1600s. Supposedly, Wigtownshire was among the areas of the lowlands that Reas may have come to Ulster from during the Plantation Period of the 1600s, yet, I found little or no data on Rea or Rae families in Wigtownshire during this period in the General Register. If someone could suggest some alternate sources it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gary,

Have a look at this site. Loads of information, It has helped me with a lot of my ancestors in Wigtown. I had a quick look for you. They have a parish list from 1684 which has a Janet REE age 50.
Have a look yourself anyway.
Happy hunting

Amanda

Thanks, Amanda! Even if I don't find anything, the parish map certainly helps.  Grin
