Dumfriesshire / Mason 's of Dumfriesshire
« on: Tuesday 06 July 10 06:25 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I have been searching for a marriage for William MASON and Margaret CREGG in Dumfriesshire around 1810 - 1815, also the birth of their son Robert, according to his death record (13 Jul 1860) in Australia he was born about 1815. I believe Robert may have been a convict transported to Australia on the "Herione" in 1833, but have been unable to verify the facts so far. Can anyone tell me if more detailed records (like his age, and parents names) were ever kept on convicts records in Glasgow and how I would go about accessing them.
Would be most grateful for any assistance, thank you.
