Stirlingshire / Re: Buchanan in Killearn, Sti
« on: Thursday 25 June 20 13:47 BST (UK)  »
Just found this thread when searching for BUCHANAN and Carestoun. I've found a Walter Buchanan, born in 1711, child of John Buchanan "of Carestoun" and his spouse Elisabeth Noble. This family seem to move between Old Kilpatrick and Killearn parishes - marriage is Killear 1694, first child baptised in Killearn, then three in Kilpatrick (including an earlier Walter, first-born son), and the remaining six in Killearn including of course Walter.

A witness to the baptism is John Buchanan of Middle Croy.

I'd be very interested to learn of any other people looking at Buchanans in this area. And of course if anyone has further information on this Walter, as I'm attempting to rule him either out or in for 'mine'.

(edited to correct error on marriage)

Answering my own query: from the Anglican Record Project website https://www.ireland.anglican.org/about/rcb-library/online-parish-records it seems that the records are available only from PRONI.

Any access to these Ahoghill records (which seem to start from around 1811) may be very helpful! Alas, I'm not finding anything online, only the PRONI Ref. numbers for Church of Ireland records which are MIC583/9; CR/1/90.

Does anybody know if these are available via rootsireland.ie? If they were, I could take out a short-term subscription but I've been stung by that in the past!

Just to add, regarding the info about Hillmount and the bleach green, Andrew Russell, the father of Elizabeth Russell who was married to Robert McLaughlin in 1835, was a bleachfield labourer.

I likewise saw Betty McLoughlin's burial, but was thinking she might be a little too old to be Robert's mother - unless of course that age at burial is wrong (or wrongly transcribed), which does sometimes happen...
I've been out with a visitor for most of this week - will now get back to genealogy!  :)

Aylerie, do you know if any descendants of your William have done a DNA test? It would be good to se if there is a connection. I've tested with Ancestry, both my brother and I with FTDNA, and there's cousins likewise descended from Robert who've tested with Ancestry also and uploaded to gedmatch.com.

There is also (from the Craigs burial records) a James McGlaughlin aged 64 buried in 1847, who may be the father of my Robert.

This William McLoughlin was my GGgrandfather and Robert McLoughlin was one of his sons.

Fascinated! Thanks for posting this! I see on the Craigs parish church burials William, in Hillmount, aged 70 buried 07/01/1886, putting his birth around 1815. My Robert would have been, I think, his brother, born around 1817 from his death record in Scotland. The Robert in the GV could be either William's brother or William's son - I'm thinking brother, as my Robert didn't come to Scotland until the 1860s.

I've been to the Cullybackey pages a few times but there's more material on there now, so thanks again. I have now almost all of births/baptisms of siblings of my Elizabeth (born 1851), daughter to Robert McLaughlin and Elizabeth Russell. They were baptised in the Cullybackey Presbyterian church. There's a gap in the baptisms from 1843-48, which may be a glitch in uploading or an actual gap, and the birth of her brother Robert (later a coppersmith in Greenock) would be in that gap.

Wigtownshire / Re: My names in Stranraer area
« on: Friday 20 February 15 13:40 GMT (UK)  »
Colin, would be very interested in what you have. There were several Blain families in Stranraer area. My William Blain was married to Mary Maxwell in 1812 (recorded in Inch) and we think he was a son b. 1790 of James Blain of Dilhabboch farm, in Inch. There are various other Blains in Inch and it's hard to sort out the families, however.
Best, Jenny
