Hi all, Well I seem to be stuck .. I just came across another John Morland Born 1788 in Stranraer. Struggling to find info on him.
I have 2 families now by the looks of things in Stranraer area with another John Morland(McMorland) B 1788
First Family and who I was thinking was my family
James McMorland Father (unknown details)
Children -
John Morland 1788, James 1791, Agnes 1793, William 1995 / Unknown mother but all born listed in Leswalt
Second Family
John Morland Born 1736 Married to Margaret Kerr Born 1743 (Marriage listed as 1770)
The above mentioned John and Margaret had listed 9 children - What has created a bit of a confusing dilema at present is that there appears to be a
John Morland Born 1788 Stranraer in amongst all the other 8 children mentioned to this family(Check link below), What also has me scratching my head in amonst the family of 9 is that given the age of Margaret Kerr when she has had some of the children has me wondering if what is listed is accurate.
Margaret had 9 children from years 1772 to 1803 meaning that Margaret was 31 years old for her first child and 60 years old for the 9th child. Of course not impossible but what would the chances be of this happening?
Actually this second family has links to a Charles Morland who appears to have been a Provost of Stranraer in the 1800`s..
Link for this second family as follows;
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/MWQM-49NI need to find a death register of John Morland that may list his spouse and his father or Mother.. I have a death listed as 1867 for a John Morland Listed as a Sawyer (His job)
What I do know is that I do have a John Morland (McMorland) as my 4 x Grt Grandfather married to Jane McCredie.. What I am desperate to find out is from the above 2 John Morlands listed, What one is mine
Help please
