Also his son William who died7 Sept. 1878 aged 25 years. Also Jane FORSYTH relick of the above James RENNIE who died in Glasgow Sept. 1883 aged 60 yrs.

Good luck with your search.

Hello Kirsty G,

My sincere apologies for not replying to this earlier. It was just by chance I was on here today and noticed your message.

Sadly, there are no Landers or Galloway's in the Penninghame MI's.

Thank you very much for checking anyway.

 Kirsty,

Not sure whether you know the other Graveyards in the area:

There is the Penninghame New Cemetery - situated at the western side of Newton Stewart and clearly visible from the A75  Stranraer road. The new cemetery was opened in 1895. The lair books are kept at Stranraer.

Challoch
All Saints Scottish Esiscopal Church to be foundat Challoch, 3 miles northwest of Newton Stewart on the A714 Girvan road. Consecrated in 1872, it is considered to be the finest example of a smallVictorian church in Scotland. The surrounding graveyard contains members of the families and households of theStopford-Blairs and Earls of Galloway.

BARGRENNAN
This church is hidden in the trees at the hamlet of Bargrennan 9 miles north west of Newton Stewart on the A714 Girvan road. Today, however, it is linked to Penninghame St John. The graves date from the late 1870's

The next time I am at the library, I'll see if they have the MI's for "Penninghame New Cemetery"

Kirsty,

I went to the library this afternoon and the only MI's they have are for CLACHAN of PENNINGHAME KIRKYARD and found the following:

61
Errected by John LANDERS in memory of his daughter Mary Anne who died July 6th 1872 aged 9 months. Also his son who died Sept. 25th 1874 aged 22years.

Also in this book was:

1684 - Covenant List for Penninghame:
Clachan of Penninghame -  Jane Galloway -  Wife

Wow, thank you so much. I did have a wander round a couple of churchyards when I was in the area a few years back but without much success. That is my family on the MI. I wonder if there was a mistake though as I know of a son who died in 1874 aged 2, but none of John's children that I know of were old enough to be 22 in 1874. More research required I think!

Thanks again.

Kirsty,

Pleased I was able to give you a little information.

I did wonder about the age of the son. Looks like an error on the MI's or, I have made the mistake when writing it down. Will check the next time I am at the library and, let you know. Should I come across any other information, I'll  post it here.

Just looked on Scotland's People and, there is a death entry for a son aged 2 1874.  Do you have this entry?

Kirsty,

 Found this information on Family Search which you may already know:

John Landers & Margaret McAdam had a daughter Mary Anne b. 9 October 1871 ( I assume she died July 6th 1872 aged 9 months)

They had another daughter Mary Anne  b. 29 September 1874

Thanks for looking,  had seen that birth record. I do have a lot of info on this family though mostly births hence why I was looking for death info. Both Mary Ann and the son John who died had siblings named the same when the couple had more children.
