Thanks for that,
It's actually a step forward at least it puts a date on when he was active.

Thanks Bruce,
He's my GGGG Grandfather.
I know people on here have mentioned him a long time ago, I hoped someone may have unearthed something in the last few years.
I think he and his wife parachuted in from somewhere. They were definitely in Midlothian because that's where his daughter was born. But I suspect they weren't actually from Scotland.

Someone on here says that Samuel is mentioned in a book 'Oor Ain Folk' by David J Beattie but copies are a bit expensive for something that may be of no help at all.

Dumfriesshire / Langholm: Names- Wolves, Hounam, Blackmere
« on: Monday 29 June 20 21:16 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to track where the Wolves and/or the Blackmere's came from:
Samuel Wolves 1763 - 1832  married to Mary Blackmere 1770 - ?
Had a daughter
Mary Ann Joyce Wolves BIRTH 1803 • Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland  DEATH 11.11.1878 Langholm, Dumfriesshire. Spouse Thomas Hounam.

Samuel Wolves was the Baron-Bailie which would have been a pretty big deal at the time.

There are very few Wolves out there and practically no Blackmere's. They possibly originated in Warwickshire simply because that's the only place I've found any Wolves on Ancestry & Find My Past.

They are really cool unusual names so I would have thought they would be easy but it's just a dead end.

Any help would be appreciated.
