Hi Karen,
As far as I can tell Maxwell Waugh and wife Isabella did not have any children of their own. I don't see any in the register of births. The marriage registration of Maxwell Waugh shows his wife Isabella to have the maiden name of Kirkpatrick. Her father was Robert Kirkpatrick, blacksmith, and mother was Agnes Morrin. They were both deceased at the time of the marriage in 1865.
The birth registration for Isabella Agnes Jane Lees in 1874 names her mother as Jane Allan Lees. NO father is named at that time.  By 1900 at the time of her marriage to WIlliam McKie she was using the surname Waugh.
There is a marriage record in 1881 for a  Jane Allan age 24 marrying a James Coupland . Jane' s mother is named as AGnes Kirkpatrick (then married to David Blaycock). Jane Allan's reputed father was John Lees. Jane Allan was living at Sandbed of Dalswinton. This was the home of Isabella Waugh, wife of Maxwell.
If you look back at the census, Agnes Kirkpatrick was the sister of Isabella (Kirkpatrick) Waugh.
SO it looks like Isabella Agnes Jane Lees is the great niece   of Isabella Kirkpatrick Waugh.

What is strange though is that Jane Allan was using the surname ALLAN. I can't figure that one out. There was another Kirkpatrick sister Jane. She married Andrew Allan in 1855 and they moved to Victoria Australia in Dec 1856.

Joanna Waugh

HI,
Thanks for the information.
I have some of your names in some research I have. John waugh was born about 1762  . He was associated with Croalchapel in Closeburn and he died in 1827 at Longbank in Dunscore. He is named in the Service of Heirs and is buried in Closeburn Churchyard.  Jean scott was from Durrisdeer (Closeburn OPR). John Waugh and Jean Scott had at least 10 children.  From the Closeburn OPR:
Marrion b 1789
Grizle b 1790
Jean b 1792
Isobel b 1794
Marrion b 1796
Mary b 1798
Janet b 1800
John b 1802
James b 1804
Agnes b 1806.

In my line of Waughs, I can only go back to William Waugh (1746  to 1808). He married Mary Hiddleston.They  lived in Kirkmahoe and were associated with Forestrig. They are buried in Old Dunscore Cemetery.  The Kirkmahoe OPRs have large gaps in them so I haven't been able to find records for this family.  But I do know all the 3 sons (Robert, John, William) of William are accounted for so any connection if any to your Waughs would be before 1746.  (See tree url previous message).

Hello Tom,
Your William Waugh is part of my larger Waugh family. My great grandfather who went to Canada was a first cousin.  I have some material on this family.
