McCoskry's Rhonehouse (Keltonhill)
« on: Tuesday 27 July 10 17:16 BST (UK) »
Hi does anyone know of the link,if there is one between the two McCoskry familys living in Rhonehouse 1851 census
My side Elisabeth   37  mother widow Nee Copland
             Nathaniel  10
             Mary             9
             Robert         4

The other family
Isabella McC 70 Head of house
James McC   35 son
Samuel Lock  14 nephew
Robert McC  5
Ithink that there is a link because I believe there is a stone in mid kelton churhyard with the second family in there and they had sons called Nathaniel also aswell as Robert so I think that these are family names any help would be appreciated .

Hi

On the 1841, there are these families ~

Rhonehouse, Kelton
869 ED 3 P 6

Mccoskey
John, 56, farmer
Isabella, 55
James, 24
Amelia, 20
Samuel Locke, 6

All b. Kirkcudbrightshire

(bpt of a John McCroskie in Kirkcudbright 29 Oct 1795 to John McCroskie and Mary Kermont)

and

Rhonehouse, Kelton
869 ED 3 P 7

McCosky
Robert,  30, ag lab
Elisabeth, 25
Nathaniel, 1

I've not been able to establish a connection between John and Robert so far but, if names are significant, an Al(l)an McCoskrie of Twynholm had, amongst others,  a Nathaniel (13 Oct 1782) and a Samuel (29 July 1784) baptised.

I'll check my MIs later.

 :)

I've found this birth/baptism which might well be Robert as the age fits with the 1841 (30-34):

Irongray -  30 June 1808 Robert Coskry son of  John Coskry and Isobel Walker

If you recall, John's wife Isobel(la) on the Kelton MI was Isobella Walker

This would mean that Elisabeth was Isabella's daughter in law

Thanks for all the input Ive just checked all my papers and found some MI's that I copied a few years ago from mid kelton cemetary In memory of
John McCoskry died at Rhonehouse 4-1-1894 age 68
Nathaniel son late of New York died at Rhonehouse 16-1-1846 age 26
Also of Samuel his son died in New Yorkon 10-7-1844 age 27
Also Issabella Walker relict died at Rhonehouse 21-3-1834 age 73
Also John McCoskry their G son died at Rhone house 31-7-1867 age 13
Also Mary Jane Henry McCoskry their G daughter who died  3- 9 185?
John McCoskry ? G son


then another stone next to this that read
Erected by Samuel McCoskry
in Rhonehouse in memory of spouse  Mary Reid 16-5 1806 aged 45
and their children
Mary ,Robert , Samuel
died in infancy
Also their son Nathaniel who died at sea on passage to NY 22-7 181? age 26
and son Samuael who died in NY 17-10-1835 aged 34
Also of the above Samuel McCoskry died 27-1-1810
Also of Lucy Wilson his second wife
some of these link with what you have given me so I will try to make some sense of it all
I've also discovered that a Robert McCoskry born in Kelton hills (Rhonehouse) in 1792 went to NY in 1810 and later started a business with his brother Nathaniels widow so plenty for me to sort through Thanks again for your input and if you discover anything else please pass it on  :)

In your last post about the MI's at Kelton Cemetery you quote two headstones.
The 1st one starting as below,
In memory John McCoskry died at Rhonehouse 4-1-1894 age 68...

The second one next to the first one which starts,
Erected by Samuel McCoskry etc.....

These are not two seperate headstones,but are in fact one headstone.The details are engraved on both the front & the rear of the stone.

This headstone is up close to the corner of a wall,so only half of the back panel can be read. Another stone is
covering the front panel and again only part of the front can be seen. This other stone at the front relates to a William McCoskry who died 1925.His wife Agnes Gibson died 1923 & their daughter Jane who died 1937.

I have a photo if you would like a copy.
