TOOLAN (TOULAN, TOWLAND), ANGUS

[Welsh Chris]

I am researching Daniel Toolan ( various spellings!)  born 1776 and his wife Jean Angus. They were married on 7/1/1813 in Applegarth and in 1841 lived in Millhouse 5. I have info on their children but would love to hear from anyone who has info on this couple such as occupation or parentage.

Hiya,

Can you give me any details of any children born in Applegarth.  I ask because the Applegarth OPR is weird compared to other registers.  The guy (or gal) who kept it had to have been the first database designer lol.

It is in columns of info and it usually gives residence and sometimes occupations.

Cheers,
Pam

Hi Pam. Thanks for your interest. The children are:-
Janet born 21 Nov 1819
James born 24 March 1822
Annie born 13 March 1824
Jane presumably Applegarth 1831
John 29 Dec 1833
Thomas, my gt gt grandfather,christened 8 Dec 1828 and at age 10 worked as an agricultural labourer at nethercleugh Outhouse for farmer John Wilson.

The name Toolan may also be Toulon, Taulon, Towlan, Towland and Tolline!
                        Best wishes Chris

Hi Welsh Chris,

I haven't had a chance to get on the films yet but I checked the MI for Applegarth & Sibbaldie kirkyard and no Toolan or variants - will try to get to the films soon.

Apologies for the slowness in doing these look ups.

Right!  Where do I start? Ok.

I can't answer your initial question on parentage or occupation, sorry but I do have a little bit extra you may not of had.

I found all Daniel and Jean's children - below is some more kids...

I've attached 2 images which join together, the overlap should be obvious?  This is how the Applegarth OPR are laid out so the extra info is residence.

I've used a / to show the column breaks.

William/son of/Daniel Toulon/Jean Angus/Gayfield/April 6/1813

James/son of/Daniel Toulon/Jean Angus/Upperhall/June 19/1817

Janet born in 1819 was born at Upperhall, as was James 1822 & Annie 1824.

Thomas/son of/Daniel Toolon/Jean Angus/Milnhouse/Dec 12/1828

Your Jane is...

Jean/dau of/Daniel Toulon/Jean Angus/Milnhouse/May 4/1831

And John 1833 was born at Milnhouse.

I didn't see any births after that.

I did find 2 deaths...

James Toulan/Upperhall/March/9months/1818

_____ Toulan/Halls/March/3years/1823 There is no name entered

Finally the marriage states
Daniel Toulson & Jean Angus of Gayfield

There is also a note after the 1775 baptisms obviously from the new encumbent saying that 12/3/1749 to 9/7/1775 records are badly kept he then starts his records from 13/4/1777 so if Daniel is local by the worsed luck that is the gap!

I hope the new children (if they were new) help you.  The Scottish naming convention would have Daniel's dad as William and Jean's as James.

All the best in your digging,
Pam
 

PS My Greens in Lochmaben I think were from Milnhouse as well.  One day I will try to get property info - if I find anything connected to Toulan I'll track you down!
