Joseph Stor(r)i/e(y) and Margaret Stirling

[Forfarian]

1793, June 15. Joseph Storrey in this parish and Margt Stirling in the Parish of New Monkland to be proclaimed on the three following Sabbaths. [Old Monkland Parish Register]

Is this Joseph Storrey the one who was a baker in Langloan, son of John Stor(r)i/e(y) of Braco and Elizabeth Howie?

Is Margaret the sister of Andrew Stirling of Drumpellier, who in 1795 leased to Joseph Stor(r)i/e(y) 37 falls of land bounded on the north by the Toll Road between Glasgow and Edinburgh by Airdrie and on the south by the middle of Langloan Burn and Langloan Mill Dam, being part of the lands of Langloan, Parish of Old Monkland. ?

Or is it just coincidence that Andrew Stirling leased land to someone whose wife's surname was the same as his, just a couple of years after the lady's marriage?

Andrew Stirling did have a sister Margaret, born 1761 in Glasgow, but none of the online genealogies I found of the family of their father William Stirling mentions Margaret or indeed their younger brothers George and William. Some of these genealogies only mention two or three of William's family of 12 children.

Are there any early 19th century MIs in Old Monkland that I could try for an MI of Joseph Stor(r)i/ey) and Margaret Stirling?

Any other thoughts?

In terms of remaining stones at Old Monkland cemetery, nothing showing for them on www.memento-mori.co.uk/51.pdf

As you say, maybe earlier MI records may show something.

Thanks, Monica.

There's a lair owners list posted here:

I'm sure another rootschat member has posted about transcribing lair books for the older part of the Old Monkland graveyard but unfortunately I cannot find that post.

Thank you. Yes, I have checked that list and there is no listing for Stor(r)i/e(y).

Lodger is such an expert on this all for Old Monkland, with a huge amount of study and work there. Hopefully, Forfarian, he will see the post and be able to add some advice on avenues for research.
