My husband's 4xgreat grandfather was a William Milligan, married to Janet Hornell.  Their son, Gavin was born in Kirkbean in 1800 (parents names from his death certificate).  It seems a coincidence that 2 William Milligans around the same age married Hornells in the same area and wonder whether they are connected - do you have any information on this?

Unfortunately we have not yet traced William's parents, so can't help with your query.
