US Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage of Andrew Drynan (1837-1899) and May Finlayson (1842-1919)

What a cornucopia of information and sources you have found for me! Thank you all very much.

I am off to my library now to look at the FindMyPast Army record.

I have just found a copy of Voyage and Journey of the 2nd Batt. Scots Fusilier Guards: from Southampton to Montreal, during the winter of 1861-2 written by a soldier of the regiment on Archive.org - so a day of fascinating reading ahead. :)

Thanks again. Michael.

Can anyone pinpoint please the couples' movements in mid 1860s especially the marriage date and location of Andrew born Scotland and May born Canada ?

1880 census and FreeBMD show a daughter Mary May born 1865 in London, but 1880 census and many Ancestry trees suggest a daughter Ellen born c1860 Pennsylvania - though 1861 Canadian census shows single May Finlayson living in birthplace Châteauguay.

Have found much about them and their issue subsequent to marriage in censuses etc as well as newspaper articles about his eventual suicide and her inheritance of brother's fortune but their marriage date and location have eluded me.

Michael.

Ayrshire / Re: Mary BANKHEAD m John ARMOUR can 1000+ trees be wrong ?

My SP copy of Janet's marriage to Hugh Dunlop dated 27 Jul 1736 (not 1735), mentions late father John, bonnetmaker - but not Mary Bankhead. Is there another record I have missed?

Wigtownshire / Re: Helen Mary Drynan (née Smith) burial.

Thank you so much for that information. Hopefully I will be able to find the lair when I visit later in the year.  :)

Helen's husband Andrew eventually joined the 3 of their sons who emigrated to Sewickley, Allegheny, Pennsylvania, USA where he died in 1881.

Thanks again. M.

Wigtownshire / Helen Mary Drynan (née Smith) burial.

Helen died 27 Sep 1861 at Newton Stewart and I'm wondering in which of the cemeteries she would have been interred. She was living in Main Street earlier in the year. Clachan and the Old Kirkyard seem the options but there is some overlap in dates covered.

Perhaps we'll never learn who Jane Armour's mother was - unless another Armour Family Bible turns up!

Seems to me though she was more likely born in Ayrshire rather than Larnarkshire. Have you a record of her death?

I too have Jane Amour (b 1700*) abt Kilmarnock at the top of my tree, spouse of merchant Hugh Dunlop (1701-1788).  :)


re 'Jane's father may have been James son of Robert b about 1650'.

I can only find the following baptisms on SP so would value the source of your information:
   
Janet dau John Armour/Jean Armour, 21/07/1694 Kilmarnock'   

Janet dau Alexander Armour/Mary Waters 31/12/1696 Kilmarnock,   

Janet dau John Armour/Mary Bankhead 30/04/1710 Kilmaurs
