Dumfriesshire / John McRobert..bookseller..where did you go?
« on: Monday 19 December 22 17:01 GMT (UK)  »
I am currently trying to find out what happened to my 1st cousin 4x removed John McRobert. He was a bookseller born in Dumfries in 1831 and in 1852 was found guilty of setting fire to his shop. He was given 10 years transportation and sent to Stirling Castle hulk where he was till he was licensed in 1855 due to poor health . He then went to live at Auld Mills Farm at the Racks with his aunt and uncle Alexander Hutchison…I can’t find any trace of him after that and wondered if anyone is researching the same family and can shed some light on his whereabouts. Thankyou

Kirkcudbrightshire / Help re Buittle Kirkyard
« on: Wednesday 26 February 20 10:55 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I am looking for help on a headstone in Buittle Kirkyard
Looking at the headstone picture number 73 on kirkyards.co.uk there appears more writing on the headstone than has been transcribed and I am hoping that John Copland who died 1799 has a wife mentioned on there
Many thanks

Hoping this is ok to post
I have just done my DNA and uploaded to Gedmatch Genesis. Hoping to find out if my great grandfather is actually who I thought he was as my grandfather was illegitimate
Looking for any Hutchisons that are related to the Auld Mill Farm family to see if they have done a DNA and if they are willing to share there Gedmatch kit number...privately...to see if I get a match
Many thanks
