My maternal grandparents Adam Armstrong and Isabella Flynn were married in Wigtownshire 2/6/1905 at 'Killantrae' - this information comes from my grandfather's entry in the family bible.
Research tells me that Killantrae was the original name for Port William, but the name changed in 1776; the only other local references seem to be farm names and a burn.
Could local people still have used the old name 129 years after the name change? Or does anyone have a better explanation?
thanks in advance, Graeme
