I am looking for information on my 5th great grandparents William Kirkpatrick born 1734 supposedly in Kirkcudbright and Mary Cavan born 1741 also in Kirkcudbright. Not sure if this is correct since my 4th great grandfather Thomas was supposed to have been born in Dumfries and that is where all of his descendants to my 2nd great grandfather were born. Everything we find on William's parents list either Alexander or William Kirkpatrick and Janet Shennan and give birth dates as 1730 for him. This can't be if his son was born in 1734. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
