West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Searching for Graves of Andrew & Sarah McKnight of West Calder
« on: Saturday 15 April 17 13:58 BST (UK) »
For whatever reason, I never got a notification about these extremely helpful replies! Thank you so very much! I don't know if the historical facts about these two people is of interest to anyone else, but in case someone stumbles across this in their own research. I'm not surprised that it lists Scotland as their birthplace, but in fact that's likely inaccurate according to my research.
Andrew McKnight was born in 1831 to a George McNeight and unknown mother in Newtonards, County Down. He married Sarah Milliken (b. 1831 also apparently in Newtonards, daughter of Hamilton Milliken and Jane Malcolmson) in the Bangor Presby. Church in 1854. They brought the family to Dalry, Ayrshire after the 1861 Scotland census. Hamilton Milliken was apparently already there. They were there in 1871, in Auchinleck in 1881, and at the Woodend Cottage location in 1891 and 1901. I've never found Andrew in the 1911 census oddly enough.
I'm so grateful, thank y'all for the wonderful assistance and information!
With warm regards,
Andrew
