Thanks for the details.

I have found the headstone and it says William Kirk died 27/7/1888 in Crawford.   Helen died 16/12/1878

Helen was born in Eskdalemuir but I don't know where they married or when but their first child was born 12/3/1847 in Crawford.

Hello,

I've quite a bit on this family from abt 1735 to date.  I can see that's it's been a while since anything was posted to this - but worth a try.

cheers .... Meg

Yes please I would be very interested to hear what details you have.
I am trying to establish and confirm that my relatives go as far back to a James Kirk born about 1733, and married an Elizabeth Brown born 1738 in the Durisdeer area.

Hi,
 
    Thank you for all of this information.
I hope to get back to you with the details of James Kirk, born 15 Apr 1759 and Margaret Kirk, b. 01 Jul 1765 once they have been confirmed.

Do you have any candidates, even just sheer speculation at this stage, of the parents of James Kirk and Elizabeth Brown?

Regards, David.
