Hi William

Do you know who signed the death certificate as the informant ? Assume would have been one of the staff. If so then can search for that name on the 1881 and 1891 censuses which will list the inmates at that time - assuming it was the poor house.

Also it might be worth contacting the local family history society who will be able to give you info I'm sure!

Link is http://www.ancestralscotland.com/counties/wigtownshire.html?section=history

Good luck
