Thanks so much for the inforamtion, I really appreciate the responses.  I am going to pursue the Catherine Dargavel connection, it looks promising, as there are several Catherines in my family, including my grandmother.  I think the entire family might have emigrated, not just my gggrandfather, as there are several Dargavels mentioned in the New Brunswick archives that don't sound familiar to me.
Gadget, I know there were Dargavels who emigrated to Ontario.  I haven't been able to make a connection with my family, who emigrated to New Brunswick.
Happy New Year all!

Dumfriesshire / DARGAVEL James b. 1816
« on: Wednesday 30 December 09 19:20 GMT (UK)  »
Hello,
I am looking for information on the parents of James Dargavel, born 1816 in Dalton, Dumfries. The baptism record also mentions Gravelpits.  His parents' names are J. Dargavel and Jane Murdoch. I haven't been able to find any information at all about either of them.
Thank you.

Hi Falkryn,
Thanks for the reply.  I did find my ancestor, William Reid, in the Fasti Ecclesaie, however I already had the information that I found  there .
I was hoping it would give me the names of his parents, or at least his birthplace, but no luck.  The information in the Fasti was taken from his tombstone.

Renfrewshire / Fasti Eccliase

Hello,

Does anyone out there know of a church record comparable to the Fasti Eccliaese, that would list the names of the ministers of the Church of Scotland in the 17th century?

Thank you.

Hi Hanan,
Thanks for getting in touch again. I have sent an email to the address you provided, maybe they can steer me in the right direction.
I looked at Parish and Probate Records on ancestry.com, but they weren't too helpful.  I am going to explore Happy Haggis tonight, hopefully I can find a clue there.  If not, I am optimistic a search of the archives of the Church of Scotland can help.  I will have to wait until my next trip to Scotland in October, though.
Thanks again!
All the best,
Kathy

Hello Hanan,
Nice to hear from you!  Yes, to the best of my knowledge he died while he was still the minister.  I contacted the present minister, but he was unable to supply any information.  I am kind of stuck right now, I would really like to research William's parents, but I don't know where he was born.  One person told me he may not have been born in Stevenston, he just was assigned that parish when he was ordained.  There are several William Reids born in the right time frame on Scotland's People, but it is difficult to know which one would be my ancestor, as none were born in Stevenston.  There is one in Kilwinning, but I have no idea if that is he or not.  It seems the most likely, as his wife was from there, but who knows?
I found a reference to him on ancestry.com, but the information ends with his date of birth, marriage and death.  I think the person who was researching him ran into the same brick wall that I have.
I was in contact with someone from National Archives who gave me some leads, but they are not online.  So, on my next trip to Scotland I am going to Edinburgh to do some research there.  I will also go to the Church of Scotland archives, which is probably my best bet, unfortunately they are not online either. I will be there in October, and am really looking forward to it.  I love Edinburgh.
Thanks so much for the Happy Haggis address, I will definitley be exploring it!
All the best,
Kathy

Hello Hanan,
Thank you so much for getting back to me.  I clicked on the 2day website you gve me, and found my ggggggrandfather's name there.  So he was Church of Scotland, and was minister of Stevenston High Kirk.  it is so nice to have that confirmed.
Now if I could only find out where he was born, and who his parents were!
Thank you again, you have been a great help!

Hello Hanan,
I am not sure, all I know is that he was minister of Stevenston church.  Do you know the history of High Kirk?
Thanks!
Kathy
