McCulloch family in Carsphairn

[Gadget]

Nothing at all on Mary or a marriage/banns for her possible parents. I've got some other sources that I'll look at but not too hopeful there

Gadget, thanks v much for the info on Hugh's baptism.  As it happens, I was in Edinburgh today and found the record you mention along with his siblings William (7 Oct 1975), Anne (22 Dec 1789) and Thomas Moffat McCulloch (4 Oct 1792), all under ref 617, 001, frame 283 on the microfilm.  So progress at last.

Thanks for your help

Hi again Iain

Russell - Runner on this forum - has quite a lot of information on Carsphairn as his wife's ancestors were from there. He's been busy for the last few days with current family events but I think he will be back tonight/tomorrow. I know they were down there recently looking for MIs so he might have something on your family.

Send him a PM.I'm sure he will help if he can.

Good luck

Gadget, thanks for the info - I'll try to contact Runner and see how far down the road he takes me (poor pun, sorry)

You probably spotted the deliberate mistake in my last reply - the date for William (brother of Hugh McCulloch) should be 7 Oct 1785, not 1975!!!!

Thanks again
Iain

Hi.  I saw the name McCulloch and wondered if you knew there are still McCullochs as far as I know, who have been  farmers for several generations in Kirkmabreck Parish Creetown area? The farm is called Auchenlarie.

Hi duckweed 

Kirkmabreck and Carsphairn are quite a good way apart though.

There are quite a few McCullochs in KKD. It was a local name.

Regards and Season's Greetings

re recent postings by Duckweed and Gadget, the family I am trying to trace left Carsphairn for Campbeltown around the 1870s.  Of course, the farmers mentioned by Duckweed could be descendants of one of the brothers but if so, I have not come across anything in the records to prove a farming connection.

Thanks anyway
Iain
