I have the MI'S for Inch Churchyard. Anyone need a look up.
Terry
-
Hello Hastie
Oooh, yes please, if you have the time and interest.
John Williamson died 1877 and his wife Jane Williamson (nee Marshall) died Stranraer. I don't know how much information you need but their children named as follows too if possible. I don't know where they were buried but they lived at Back Ramparts, Stranraer.
John, Robert, Alexander, Francis and Mary.
There are also numerous Marshalls but, as yet, I haven't sorted out which are "mine" and which are not.
Any way, thanks in advance.

Before this stone lies the corpse of JOHN WILLIAMSON who died 21st May 1789 aged 3 years. Also the corpse of JOHN WILLIAMSON who died the 18th January 1816 aged 22 years. Also DAVID WILLIAMSON who died the 14th February 1816 aged 17years. All sons, to FERGUS WILLIAMSON AND GIRSIE THOMPSON in AIRYHEMMING. Below lies the corpse of GIRZEL THOMPSON spouse to FERGUS WILLIAMSON in Airyhemming who departed this life the 7th December 1828 aged 65 years. Here lyeth the corp of FERGOWS WILLIAMSON who died Janr 9th 1768 aged 74 years.

No, as you said, it doesn't fit in with my timescale. Interesting reading though. What's in a name like "Girzel"? Where does this originate from?
Where exactly is Inch Churchyard please?
Judy
-
Inch is East of Stranraer. Not sure of mileage but not far.
Terry
-
Hi Terry, Would that cover Glasserton and Whithorn, both Dumfriesshire? I cannot find Inch on my map. If so I am looking for McClure or McLure. Thanks Evelina
-
Sorry Inch is a small town in Wigtownshire
Regards Terry

Ok Thanks Terry

It could be a typo and infact be Grizel. I've seen this name several times in my own ancestors search in this area.

Hi Terry
Could you look up for any Jardine or Jardin's in your MI's. Just a longshot but always worth a try.
Yvonne

Sorry Yvonne not one Jardine/Jardin buried at Inch Churchyard.

Thanks for looking Terry

[Girzel is as it is in the MI inscriptions for Inch Churchyard, Grizel I have heard of, perhaps the engraver back then couldn't spell!)

Hi
I'm looking for burials for Ritchie or Stafford in Inch. In particular a female Stafford buried around 1835-40 who may have been the mother of a MaryStafford/Ritchie, daughter of Colin Ritchie (junior) . She would have been very young and unmarried I think, and may have been called Mary. All the Stafford family moved to the Isle of Man between Mary's birth in 1837 and the 1841 census, so I assume the mother died beween these dates. Anyway - I'd be very grateful if you turn anything up.

Hi Terry,
Would you be so kind as to look up for the last name of Airdrie, Airdie, Aidrie in the Inch MIs? I have a number of my family who were from that area. Any Airdrie found would fit into my tree as we are a small/narrow family line.
Thanks

Hi Terry,
If you have the time, could you check to see if there are any BONE (excuse the pun) or BOAN in the MI's for Inch.
Thanks
-
Hello Terry
Would you be kind enough to look and see if there is a Mary Blair buried in Inch? Her maiden name would have been Scot(t) and was married to David Blair.
Thanks,
Judy

Sorry no Blairs and no Mary Scott on Inch MI's

Ah well, it was worth a shot. Thanks for looking for me Terry.

Thanks also from me too, Terry.
Judy

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the lovely offer, any McGrath, McGraw or McGrain?
Hanan
-
Hi Hanan,
There are no MI's for any of the surnames you listed but there are 4 for the surname McGaw. Would you like me to transcribe them or is it only the surnames you asked about?
Terry
-
Hi Terry,
Thanks for checking those names for me. Yes I'd very much like to see the McGaw names if you don't mind. The McGrath, McGraw and McGrain are all the same family, they had a habit of changing their surname so the McGaw could be them.
Thanks
Hanan
-
Just saw your request for Mcgaw info will get it done tomorrow going off line now but found these in the 1841 census:
Village, Kirkcolm, Wigtownshire
MCGRAUGH Henry M 20 Agricultural Labourer Ireland
MCGRAUGH Eliza F 18 Agricultural Labourer Ireland
Terry
-
Hi Terry,
Thanks for Henry & Eliza. I'm can't confirm they are part of the family but there is every possibility they are.
It's a John & Isabella McGraw/McGrain/McGrath & their family I'm looking for. John's family did come from Ireland and I do have a record of John and Isabella living in Kirkcolm for a while. So quite a lot fits as you can see. :-\
Thanks again, if you find any more people please do let me know. :)

Gosh lots of info.

Hanan

Hi Terry,
No jokes please ;D but are there any BONE or BOAN. This is my wife's line.
Sorry, forget this, I forgot I had posted earlier. :-[
-
Hi Terry,
I wish that I were tramping around Inch graveyard with you, but, it's such a long swim from Melbourne, Australia to the West Coast of dear Auld Scotland!
What I'm looking for is anything about the ARMSTRONG's or the LITTLE family. All I know, at the moment, is that one member of that family married on 15th November, 1836 at Inch in Wigtownshire. A bit of a long shot, I suppose, but, nothing ventured - nothing gained, eh?
My very best to you.
Tom.
-
Hi Tom,
I'm sorry but there are no Littles or Armstrongs listed on the MI'S for Inch Old Parish Churchyard or Soulseat Burial Ground. I also had a look at the Kirkcolm Old Parish Churchyard none there either. I also looked at the 1841 Index for Inch there are 2 Littles- Jane 20 b Ireland living at Kirminnoch
Margaret aged 45 Farmer b Ireland living at
Kirminnoch
1841 - Armstrong John 20 Ag Lab Village of Lochans
" Susanna 20 " "
" Robert 3 " "
" William 1 " "
Also Armstrong Robert 2 months Scotland living Lochans Mills
Armstrong Margaret 25 female servant living Drumdoch.
Hope you get lucky with the Armstrongs and Littles and at least the sun will be shining in Australia more than can be said for Scotland right now!!!
Best wishes Terry
-
Hi Terry :)
See this thread:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,311600.0.html
The Littles were not connected - Tom had the wrong death reg!

Hi Terry & Gadget,
Very many thanks for your great kindness, it really is greatly appreciated. Sorry, Terry, the weather here in Melbourne is a bit windy with passing showers and only about 15 degrees. My daughter is flying to the UK next week for a well deserved holiday. Unfortunately my wife and I can't join her as our flying days appear to be well and truly over.
I was looking at the marriage certificate of Susan Armstrong - (the one who married my Great-Great Grandfather, John Jackson Ferns). I have to be a bit cautious here because the use of the same names over the generations really does get a bit confusing. I note that the 39 year-old John married the 27 year-old Susan Armstrong on the 28th July, 1874 at 4 Windsor Terrace in Glasgow after Banns according to the forms of the United Presbyterian Church.
John's usual residence is shown as Adelaide Place, Gourock and Susan's as Drummore, Kirkmaiden, Stranraer. I thought that was a bit weird since Drummore/Kirkmaiden is about 16 miles down the peninsula from Stranraer - or am I being blinded by Scot's Mist?
Susan Armstrong's parents are as Gadget says - John Armstrong, Coachman (deceased) and Susan Armstrong, M.S. Flatten/Flatton. I have no idea where this couple would have been buried.
I might do a quick look-see (Again!) of the children of John Jackson Ferns and his wife, Susan, to see whether the Scots custom of naming patterns can assist.
Tell me Gadget, do you think that the Moderator of this Board would mind terribly if I continued to make mention of John Jackson Ferns and his wife on this Board? I would think that it should be OK since Susan Armstrong appears to be a lassie born to people from the Dumfries & Galloway area. I say that a bit tongue in cheek because all the different locations, i.e. Wigtownshire, etc., get me a bit confused. Put it down to old age or the effects of medication!!!!! :o
When I look at the Death Certificate of John Jackson Ferns, it's a great pity that although it certainly shows that he had two marriages, the name of his first wife isn't shown. Drat! However, that wee snippet of information about the possibility of John having served in the Royal Navy might bring something to light.
Again, very many thanks to you both.
My very best wishes.
Tom.
-
Hi Tom,
Hope you have some success with your Armstrongs sorry I couldn't be more help but Gadget seems to have been able to help your progress. Unfortunately I am not able to walk about Inch as I live in the Scottish Borders. One of my lines Broll/Brawl came from there or rather should I say I think originally Ireland and that is where I came to a sticky end. I cannot find anyone researching that name. My 3g grandmother was Sarah Broll b Leswalt Wigtownshire who married Andrew Hall (he was from Ireland). They married and lived in Inch all their lives and are buried there. I know the parents f both of them and have the family in all census's and other info on them but can get no further back. There was only one other Broll a John whom I think was her brother (going by the naming pattern), he had a biggish family but no luck with that so far. However as you know you just have to keep on plodding.
Best wishes
Terry
-
Hello Terry,
Many thanks for the information. Yes indeed, the assistance that I'm getting is truly fantastic, and I can't thank "Gadget" enough.
There are several people on the site who would probably be able to help you out, especially if they have a greater knowledge of the area than I do. I have to comment once again on the warm-hearted nature of most people and how they are prepared to help people like you and I.
Again, many thanks and please keep in touch.
Best Wishes,
Tom.

Hello Terry
Thank you for your kind offer. Would you please check for John Dorman whom died July 6, 1878, Deerpark, Inch? His wife was Mary nee Nochar. Would there be any other Dormans?
Linda
-
Hi Linda,
Very sorry but there are no Dorman or Nochar with MI'S in Inch Old Parish Church or Soulseat Burial Ground.
I did find a mention of one in Kirkcolm Old Parish Churchyard don't know if it's of any use but here goes.
Erected by William and James Mcmeikan in memory of their father James who was born 15/10/1772 and died 23/11/1854 aged 82 years. And their mother Agnes Wallace who died 25/4/1862 aged 87. Also Mary McHarg wife of James McMeikan Ervie who died 28/09/1865 aged 30. And Isabella DORMAN wife of William McMeikan St Mary's Croft who died 08/09/1882 aged 74. Also the said William McMeikan who died at Bloomfield Cottage Girvan 14/07/1886 aged 79. Also said James Mcmeikan who died at Ervie 14/01/1887 aged 71 years. Also Isabella McMeikan wife of Peter Fergusson who died at Bloomfield Cottage Girvan 25/12/1891 aged 38.
Terry

Hi Tom,
Yes it's fantastic the help you get. I have been at this for about 28 years but am really stuck with the Brolls/Brawls. Hopefully someone somewhere will come on my query. Good luck with your 'hunting'.
Best wishes
Terry
PS Weather still awful here!!
-
Hello Terry,
I know exactly how you feel when you come up against that proverbial brick wall, believe me. There really are some fine people out there who have helped me out on countless occasions. I've mentioned them quite openly on RootsChat and expressed my gratitude publicly. Maybe people like Gadget, Monica and Sancti could give you a bit of a hand with your search. They performed miracles for me when I was really stuck, and they did it with the minimum of fuss. They really are a very nice group of people.
Best wishes, as always,
Tom.
-
Hi Tom,
Gadget and Sancti have both looked at my query so I am moving on. I spent time yesterday refreshing myself with the Broll/Brawl details. Gadget is looking at quite a lot of things for me. Thanks to her I picked up the Kirkcolm deaths later last night and have found one for a Janet Stewart died 04/02/1830, perhaps this may be Sarah's mother. Also Sancti came up with a Jane Broll having a John Broll in 1818. Hopefully another daughter of John Broll/Janet Stewart.
Just as I start to get some details I'm of on holiday on the 30th for 2 weeks (bad timing). So keeping everything in a notebook 'til I get back, will have to start preparing for hols!!
I haven't really posted many queries here more offered to do look ups so I'm really chuffed that there are people who take an interest. You are certainly moving on with your Armstrong query now.
Well got to get back to these Irishmen/women?
Best wishes
Terry
-
Hello Terry,
So there you are. I told you that people like Gadget, Monica and Sancti were really nice people, didn't I.
Yes, I seem to be motoring on quite well now, and so maybe I should just keep on taking the tablets - not the cyanide ones, I hasten to add ;D
My very best wishes to you and yours and have a good holiday.
Tom.

Hello Terry
this is a first for me!
If you have the time can you see if you have any Hamiltons in your MIs.
I think most of the family moved away, but I know of three who died in the area.
Mary Ann Hamilton, aged 8 months, died 18 March 1861 (parents William Hamilton and Margaret Elliot)
William Hamilton, aged 9 years, died 15 September 1877 (parents as above)
and William Hamilton married to Mary Elliot, aged 45, died 25 December 1882, run over by loaded cart.
Many thanks
Linda

Hi Linda,
I'm sorry but there are only 2 Hamilton graves with headstones in Inch Old Parish Churchyard and these are Earl and Countess of Stair and families.

Many thanks for looking anyway.

Please is there anybody with the Inch /Soulseat MIs who could check for BLAIN. It's a long shot, but I'm trying to track mine through the Inch farms. There might just have been a headstone at some time, for somebody...
:)
There was also a John Blain who went off to farm in Kirkcolm - so if you happen to see any from Kirkcolm too please...
Jenny
-
Hi Jenny :)
I have looked at the Inch- Soulseat and there are 5 Blains in the index, I don't have time at the moment...christmas stuff to finish off ::) but I will transcribe this evening for you. Do you have some names ???
There are none in the Kirkcolm Old Parish Churchyard with headstones.
Terry

Jenny,
Waiting on sister arriving so I'm just going to start :o
AD memento Mori Im memory of ---------- who died---------- Grisal Mc------- his daughter----------Also the corpse-------Grisal M-------------- youngest daughter. ---he above John McNillie and Spouse of William Blain tenant in Ringnillie who departed this life 3rd August 1812 aged 66 years (seems to have been a bit unreadable)
~~~~~~~~
Erected by Andrew Blain Mason Cairnryan in memory of his wife Marion Baird who died 14th Novr 1868 aged 48 years
~~~~~~~~
There is quite a long one which was erected by an Andrew McGaw Shoemaker Stranraer and his wife was Jane Blain who died 31st October 1899 aged 69. If you think this is yours I'll give all the info.
~~~~~~~~
Erected by Jane Nickolson in memory of Edward McKaskie her husband who died 31st May 1872 aged 82 years. Also above Jane Nickolson or Blain who died at Cairnryan 5th Novr 1911 aged 83 and is interred here.

If you want all this stone inscription just say.
Hope this helps you :)
Terry
-
Thanks greatly Terry! It's the older ones that I'm interested in. There were a whole bunch of Blains in the 18th and early 19th century and I'm trying to sort out which ones are who... things like the mention of William Blain being 'tenant at Ringnillie' are precious!
The one about the shoemaker in Stranraer - only if there is any mention of whose daughter Jane Blain was. There was a Janet or Jessie born around 1820, father William Blain, and a Jean or Jane b. around 1825, father Peter.
The Bennoch one looks potentially very interesting indeed - yes please. I have a Jean or Jane b. around 1778. I'll try looking for the Bennoch/Blain marriage.
Some of the names of the 18th century people (who may well have lived into the 19th c.) - James, Patrick/Peter, Robert, Jean/Jane, Janet, William, Thomas, Charles.
A James Blain who appears to have been tenant at Dalhabboch married Janet McBryde in 1777. Any mentions of MacBrydes are interesting to me too.
All best,
Jenny
-
Terry - updating info a little bit. A Mary McKibbon was married to James Blain in 1782... I'd be very interested in any McKibbon (or McCubbins) MIs also!
All best,
Jenny
-
Hi Jenny, :)
There are no McCubbin(s) or McKibbon in Inch but there are two in Kirkcolm. Do you want them.
Terry

Yes please...

Terry

Thanks greatly, Terry.
I'll keep these Kirkcolm ones around while I try to pursue the McCubbin line further...
On the ones you sent before - I explored the connection with Jane Blain who married James Bennoch, farmer in Sheuchan. Indeed she was the sister of the William Blain who is my (probable) great-great-grandfather - they being children of James Blain and Marey McKibbon, at Dalhabboch in Inch!
One more name for Inch - Maxwell. Mary Maxwell and William Blain were married in 1812, and I've no leads on who she was.
And thanks so much for looking these up!
Jenny
-
Hi Jenny,
Had a quick look no Maxwells in Inch or Kirkcolm.
Terry

Thanks for looking anyway :)
Jenny

Hi Terry,
Would you take a quick look for a McMillan family? If there is a David McMillan, d. Dec 1856, wife Margaret who predeceased him between 1851 and 1856, they'd be mine. David was a mason born about 1764.
Thanks!

Hi Karen
There are a couple of Kennedys, one is a Captain David Kennedy mentioned on a McColm gravestone, (husband of Elenora McColm)
Also Agnes Kennedy mentioned on a McQuiltan gravestone (wife of William McQuiltan)
No McKillops but one McKellop, Janet, mentioned on an Angus gravestone.
I'll transcribe if you think they are of use to you.

Hi Terry
I don't know if I have already asked this question but, well, here goes.
Is there a Catholic Churchyard in the vicinity of Inch where John Williamson and his wife Jane may have been buried?

Hi,
Sorry Judy I can't help you with that one, I'm the other side of Scotland so I can't even go take a look for you.

Re Allison family my family came from Wigton Penninghame do you have any names at all as I have information on my descendents from that area, I live in New Zealand my great great grandfather David Burnie Allison as a young man came to NZ in 1865, so maybe there is a connection?
-
Hi Maria :)
1 Allison in Kirkcolm none in Inch.
The one in Kirkcolm was married to James Ralston, she is the only Allison on the stone. Do you want it transcribed.
Terry

Welcome to Rootschat, Maria
I presume you have found on the IGI a David Burnie Allison born 1839 Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire, of parents father Samuel Allison and mother Isabella McLachlan? Also on the IGI the Christening on 24 June 1838 at Penningham, Wigtownshire of David Allison with the same parents. The Family Search site is not always accurate though. His death is also recorded as 15 February 1919. There is a Penningham a few miles north-west of Newton Stewart.

Hi Terry,
I am sure this will help me further my research, thanks for taking the time to check these MIs.
Kind regards,
#sholto.

Hi Terry and others,
Another request, please - McFrederick in Inch, in case there are any in the 18th century.
Does anybody have Kirkmaiden or Stoneykirk MIs? I've thinking again about the McKibbon (McCubbin, McGibbon, McKibband etc) people - Terry you kindly looked before for them in Inch but there were none there. I know there was the family of a John McKibbon in Inch in the mid 18th century, then the family of another John McKibbon moving between Kirkmaiden and Stoneykirk, with a strong Inch connection.
CORRECTION TO THIS - I've found the thread with Beanie's kind offer and will post my McKibbon query there!

Some further things about Inch - that may help other people.
I found a list of subscribers to a new bell at Inch Kirk, in the Kirk Session records. A transcription is online on my website, at http://wyrdswell.co.uk/ancestors/Additional/Inch%20bell%20subscription%20list.pdf. I'd guessed it was mid 18th century - and have since been able to date this bell subscription more precisely to 1760. It gives a 'snapshot' of the parish then.
Also, much of what I've found about my Inch people is at http://wyrdswell.co.uk/ancestors/Additional/Blain2.html - hopefully this may be of use to some others.
All best, and many thanks for much help!

Hi Terry,
I wonder if you could possibly assist with any Costley's, Little's or Paterson's in the New Luce or Inch burial grounds? I'm trying to research from South Africa and know that my grandparents and great grandparents are buried there but can't find anything online.
Any assistance would be most appreciated.
Kind regards,

Your help is greatly appreciated. Here's wishing you a good festive season! :)

Hi Terry, I`ve got some relatives who were from Inch, not sure if they stayed/died there or not, apart from this first couple. I`d be grateful if you`d see if you have anything on them. The timescale would be from about 1790 through the 1800s.
James McKenzie died 23/10/1866 age about 89 I think & wife Mary Beggs (she died before 1851)
Thomas Beggs & Grisal Drynan
John McDowall & Ann Beggs
Charles Murray & Janet Beggs
David Main or Mein & Grisal Beggs
Thanks. Linda

Hi Linda,

None of the other Beggs MI's match up with any of the others you gave. There were 2 Charles Murrays but neither married to a Janet Begg.
Hope this helps.
Terry

That`s great Terry, thank you very much indeed ;D ;D ;D

Hi Terry,
As I`m finding quite a few relatives for Inch I want to send for the MIs from DGFHS. My query is as to which one to order, my birth start 1730s and known deaths through to end of 19C. Another posting said MIs are unusual for 18C - but which would you recommend Old Parish & Soulseat or New Kirkyard - or both?
Thanks, Linda :)
-
Hi Linda,
I'm sorry I'm not in the area so I'm afraid I can't help with that one. I have the Old Parish and Soulseat, so maybe you could get the other and I could help you with any query's regarding the one I have.
Terry
-
That`s kind of you thanks. I will probably get Stoneykirk too while I am at it and see what I glean from them. ;D

Terry,

Hi Terry,
Just new on this chat room site. Lots of reading to catch up with.. Very interesting. I came in on a thread earlier today "Jane Morland" I am very new at this and notice you seem to be very helpful for many people.. I am sure everyone sincerely appreciates your time..

You will see the thread Jane Morland and my posting as mentioned with a number of names.. There were a number of Morlands in or around Inch and maybe there are some names to share?
Thanks for your time

Message for Terry h.
I have noticed you have a lot of information from Inch.
Are you able to help me with birthdates for McWilliam family?
My ancestor, John McWilliam was born in the Leswalt/Stranraer/Inch area around 1830 / 1835 but I can find no record of him or his siblings - refer my website here;
http://www.meehan.gen.nz/getperson.php?personID=I215&tree=Meehan
I have a relative who has a copy of John's school exercise book "Practical Arithmetic and Bookkeeping"
dated 1846 at Inch School. Do you know of any Inch school records to verify Johns attendance or that of his siblings, Margaret, Janet, Grace , or Alexander?
Any help would be appreciated - I am in Otago, New Zealand.
Thankyou - Paul Meehan

Hello Terry,
I am trying to figure out if some of my Stoneykirk McDowall's were buried in Inch. A few of them moved to Inch, confirmed in the 1841 and 1851 censuses.
I'm looking for Hugh McDowall (1822-1885), his wife Jesse McDowall (nee: Weir, 1830-1869), his sister Margaret McDowall (1819-?), and most importantly his parents John McDowall (1768-?) and Elizabeth McDowall (nee: McCaig, death before 1841). It's possible John and Elizabeth are buried back in Stoneykirk, but John is shown in the 41 and 51 censuses with Hugh and Margaret, in Inch, after he was widowed. I'm wondering if he (and possibly Elizabeth) is buried with Hugh?
Thank you in advance,
Kerry McCarthy

Hi Kerry,
I have checked all the McDowalls (and various other spellings) in Inch Old Parish Churchyard, unfortunately none of the names you mentioned are in the book.....sorry.
Terry

Hi Terry
I just came across your offer and was wondering if you have time to check any Marshall's buried at Inch in particular
Sarah - 1893 and 1918
James - 1858, 1861, 1877
William - 1861
Charles - 1857
Thomas - 1883
Janet - 1925
Mary Bell
and William McGuire - 1947
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
-
Hi,
I'm sorry there are none of your names mentioned in my MI book......I checked the MI's for Kirkcolm Old Parish Churchyard, no joy there either.
Terry

Hi Terry,
Coud you please see if there are any mentions of the Wylie family in the Inch cemetery?
William Wylie, said to be son of Alexander Wylie, married Elizabeth McWilliam, and they had many children.
William born c1776, brother Alexander Wylie born c1778
All said to have resided at Bridgebank, Inch (alternately Bridgebank, Stranraer). If there's any mention of any of them, I'd be very grateful!
Thanks!

What's in a name like "Girzel"?
It could be a typo and in fact be Grizel.
If it's Girzel or Girsel it is not a typo.
I gather that Girsel/Girzel is an anglicisation of the Gaelic name Giorsal, and that conflation of that and the Germanic name Griselda led to interchangeability of the two spellings. Girsel/Girzel occurs often enough and consistently enough to suggest that that is how the name was pronounced.
Both names are also frequently interchanged with Grace, so you may find a baptism of a Grizel or Girsel who subsequently marries as Grace, or vice versa.
-
Hi Stompie,
Sorry haven't been on here so much so have just seen your query. There is only the one Wylie on my Inch MI's.
In memory of William Wylie who died Febry 1817 aged 72 years. And Anabell Brown his spouse who died April 1817 aged 59 years.
Terry
