Wigtownshire / Re: thomas watson

thanks for all the response guys! It is the correct marriage date and I have the cencus records, but I dont have a death date for Thomas Watson or if he is buried in Kirkcolm. Also what did a beadle do in those days?
Been trying for a long time to find poorhouse records for McKendrys but so far only have one from 1881.
Thanks again

Wigtownshire / thomas watson wigtownshire

Hi Looking for info on thomas watson who was a beadle in kirkcolm in wigtownshire in the 1850s and 1860s. Have no record of parents for him though I think he was born in Ireland. Also I have his wife recorded as Mary Ann Ferguson but not sure of this.
His daughter was Mary Watson who married a Francis McKendry; the McKendrys are proving to be quite elusive although it appears a lot of them spent time in the poorhouse.
Any info would be appreciated
Thanks
