John Porteous d1839 and wife Janet Mcall d1817 at Cleughbrae
Janet Porteous d 1885

Any information would be great

Hi ep, I have looked through the memorial inscriptions relating to the Porteous people  you have referred to. They are not mentioned at Mouswald , Torthorwald or Dalton, I will continue looking. Regards stoop.

Could this be Cleuchbrae in the parish of Johnstone.  There is a William Porteous on the 1841 census residing at that adress aged 14 living with Jennet Porteous aged 35 a dressmaker.

Hi ,
I think you are all right with the Cleuchbrae, Johnstone. The spelling I have is Cleughbrae, but it was written down a hundred years ago ! You have actually solved a puzzle I have ,I did wonder with the rest of the Porteous family who are all buried in Wamphray churchyard, why these ones were buried in Mousewald. Now I can look for them in Wamphray Cemetery.
Can`t thank you all enough, brilliant !

Re: Christopher Richardson born Mouswald

I have come to this conversation late after doing a search for Christopher Richardson, father of Robert Richardson 1807 and Jacob Richardson 1804, his wife is recorded as Diana Tod but I haven't been able to find a marriage.
In 1851 Christopher was living in Annan with his daughter Mary Irving (I haven't found her baptism either), she was a widow born Cummertrees.

I found Christopher Richardson baptised Mouswald 7 June 1768 son of John Richardson and Janet Dickson

Hi Maggie,

As to your Jonah confusion, I have Jonah b 1787 marrying Janet Dickson, son of Jonah N and Ann Carruthers.  Jonah born 1795 married Margaret Dickson. Jonah 1795 was son of John N and Mary Ann Smith. Both Jonah (1787 & 1795) were grandsons pf Benjamin N and Janet Friend.  I have these Nicholsons in my tree due to some distant connection and as I tend to add whole families in of spousal lines I went over board plus the two Dicksons sparked my interest. One connection is Ann N dau of Jonah & Janet married James Grierson son of William G and Jean Charteris whose other son Richard married  Janet Dickson elder sister of my 2G Grandfather Jacob Dickson. See how far I go.

I hadn't a spouse for Christopher 1781, so now I have, thanks, any other info on that line would be good as I have connections to the Jardines as well, pm me if you like

Cheers
Mick


Hi Mike,

Thank you for getting back to me on this.  The details I have correspond with yours in every respect except that I have Benjamin N. married to Janet Irving (not Friend) but to be honest I don't know where I have got that information from as it is research done many years ago.  I also have the will of Jonah N., wife of Janet in which mention is made of James Grierson and Ann Nicholson.

I will PM you then it doesn't get confusing on here.

Maggie

Hello, I realize this is an old post so hopefully someone is still on here -- did you ever find out if Benjamin Nicholson (1722) was married to Janet FRIEND or Janet IRVING? I can't seem to find any records for this so wondering where either names are coming from. Thanks so much! You can reply here or email at nicholson.hlee@gmail.com
