I've been researching the Mien Family for some years.  The head of the family is John Mien b: 1755/6 who married Marian Milroy b: 1765/6 and they lived in New Abbey.  The place they were living is called Clacken, but on the one occasion I visited no one seemed to recognise this name.  My line runs through John's son Robert c: 17.11.1789 who married Elizabeth McKewn c: 8.8.1789 of Kirkbean on 24.9.1811.

My particular interest is in learning more about John and where the family originated prior to being in New Abbey.  I gather it may come from the name Menzies, but have lost track after John.  I guess it's possible that John  is a relation of the William you mention.  With them all living in the same area that seems likely.

I'd appreciate any news anyone may have.

Hi cupcake
I note you mention DALZIELL family in  your June 2009 mesages.

Would you have any info on JANET Dalzell who married Robert Mounsey b 1787 Dumfries on 18 june 1815 in Troqueer ?
I have details on their descendants but lack info on Janet and her family.
