McKie of Wigtownshire
« on: Tuesday 19 July 05 16:10 UTC (UK) »
Have hit a wall in my searching and need some help.  Huh

Known: Robert McKie, Plough man, b. 1851 Sorbie Village died 1/12/1921, son of Margaret Davidson MCKie( born Stoneykirk) married Elizabeth Hamilton ( daughter of Mary Hamilton) b.1855 Lochans Mill,died 30/8/1942, on 18/10/1877 in Stoneykirk.

They had
Robert b. 1876 Stoneykirk
James  b.1880 Sorbie
John   b.18/7/1881   d. 2yrs 7 mnths
Mary Milnae b.16/5/1883     had daughter Sarah C D(Bessie)
John   b.16/6/1885   d.30/11/1902
William b.4/8/1887 Grange Cree Cottage House, Penninghame d.29/5/1967 Australia
Margaret Davidson b.1990  d.2/5/1900 Over Aires
Andrew Morrison  b. 9/6/1891 Wigton d.7/10/1920 in Springside(buried Kilmarnock)
and Thomas  b. April 1896

William and Andrew married Balmer sisters from Tarbolton before William went to Australia and Andrew settled in Springside, Ayrshire.

Who can help me trace either descendants of these ( I know William and Andrew ) or their aunts/uncles/grandparents?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Judy

This isn't an answer to your question -  but here is a site that might be of interest with some information about Sorbie Village -  as well as the surname Sorbie -  it may give you some ideas!!
