I'm researching McCutcheon, Lemond, White and Broadfoot surnames in the Monreith and Glasserton area of Wigtownshire before 1900.
Would like to chat to anyone with one or more of these names in their tree.

Hi Lynn,
I have a McCutcheon line in Wigtown - I'm actually trying to get them back beyond 1855 records at the moment.
Hugh MCCUTCHEON married Martha AULD, 1779, Sorbi, Wigtown
They had Susan McCUTCHEON, 1801, Sorbi, Wigtown (all I know of so far) and she married Robert NEIL, 1832, Sorbi, Wigtown - prior to this he had married Mary MCMILLAN, 1826.

Hi,
I can't see a connection, but I'm sure there may be one somewhere along the line.
I'm researching my grandmother's line. She was Sarah Broadfoot McCutcheon, she was born in Monreith 1893, her father was Hugh McCutcheon 1864-1930 and her mother was Margaret Jane Lemond 1857-1940. All are from Wigtownshire. Margaret was born in Mochrum, and Hugh in Barwinnock.
I don't have any McCutcheons in Sorbie (that I am aware of). But you never know! :0)
Thanks for such a quick reply. I'm new to Roots Chat.
Best wishes

That's okay Lynne - I'm relatively new too!
My McCUTCHEON'S are obviously quite a bit older than yours at this stage so let's see if they meet in the middle somewhere. :)

I can go back another generation on the McCutcheon side (I've spent a small fortune on Scotland's People).
Hugh McCutcheon's father was also called Hugh McCutcheon 1827-1891 and he was born in Glasserton. He married Agnes Broadfoot in Glasserton 1861. And his father was called William McCutcheon and (I think, but I wouldn't put any money on it) he was from Whithorn. And Hugh's mum was Margaret Thomson. Margaret Thomson was from Sorbie.
And that's my wall.

Well, the William and Margaret part looks ,so I'll see if I can add to yours when I break my own brick walls!

Hi Lynn and Fiona,
Do either of you have a Helen Cutcheon/McCutcheon? I have a baptism record from Glasserton dated 17 July 1827 for Agnes Ker illegitimate daughter of John Ker and Helen Cutcheon.
In 1841 Agnes is living in Whithorn with her father John and his wife Jane McClellan (have seen several variations of this name). Agnes married William McKeachie 6 November 1856 at Barrachan, Mochrum Parish but for the most part they resided at Moorpark in Kirkinner. On the marriage record it shows Agnes' mother as Helen Ker maiden name McCutcheon - deceased.
Other than that, I don't have any other information about Helen. John Kerr was a sea captain and lived in Whithorn until he died in 1887.

Another interesting connection - William & Agnes' sons William and John both worked at a farm called West Mains owned by siblings Peter, Grace, James and Jane Broadfoot. I believe the Broadfoot's also owned farms called East Mains and The Crook.
The son William met his wife Ellen Steel while working on this farm.

Hi MaryAnn,
I don't have a Helen yet, but then again, I only have found one child to Hugh McCutcheon and Martha Auld, neither do I have Hugh's siblings yet, so at this stage - no, but who knows, maybe later. :)
Fiona

Hello Mary Ann,
I don't have a Helen McCutcheon in my tree either, sorry.
But 1827 is a little early for me.

I've been searching for her awhile now and haven't had much luck either. Thank you both for checking!

Hi Lynn,
Do you have William and Margaret in the 1841 and 51 census? and were they in Eldrig Farm/Elrig Village. I have found a William/Margaret McCutcheon/Mccutchin and they seem to match in both census's.
Their son David (only child still with them in 1851) is 10 and 20 respectively and b Glasserton 1851 info. In 1841 they don't seem to have a son Hugh born 1827. There is a son Samuel 14 and George 12.
In 1851 it states this William was b Whithorn and Margaret Sorbie. Could these be yours and was Hugh m to Agnes Broadfoot perhaps not named Hugh? Or alternately they might have nothing to do with your family!
If you don't have census info I can PM it to you.

That sounds like my lot actually, I recognize the siblings. I can't remember whether I have those census or not. I have an account with Scotlands People and I can soon check.
I have such a mountain of paper on my desk it's hard to see what I have and what I don't, to be honest.
Many thanks!

Hi Lynn,
I've PM'd the census info to you.

Hello Lynn
I believe that we may have a connection with the McCutcheon surname in Wigtownshire.
I have John McCUTCHEON born 1 Jan 1869 Mochrum, Wig younger brother to your Hugh McCUTCHEON born 1864. John McCUTCHEON married Jane THOMSON 29 May 1888 at Loch Head, Wig. Their son Alexander Thomson McCUTCHEON born 5 Apr 1885 married Grace McNEIL born 3 Oct 1888 Mochrum on the 11 Jul 1913 at 9 Great Hamilton Street, Glasgow.
I have taken John's line back to William McCUTCHEON and Margaret.
Perhaps we can exchange information off list?
Regards

Hello Anita,

Best wishes
Lynn

That's correct, 5 boys. I have a lot of information regarding the McCUTCHEON family.
How can we exchange private email addresses? I'm new to this forum and do not know how to go about sending a private message.

Hi Laena,
I have a lot of ancestors in that area including McCutcheons and I can assure you they were popping back and forth across the Irish sea all the time. Most people in that part of Scotland sooner or later will trace their family line back to northern Ireland. I totally expect my McCutcheons to eventually go back to Ireland. After the famine perhaps? The sea was not a barrier in the way it is today. And don't forget that all of Ireland was part of the UK in those days. It was not technically emigrating.
I've been using Scotland's People website and I'm still stuck.
Happy hunting !
