William Mein - New Abbey/ Janet Gracie -Terregles, Dumfriesshire/Burial places

[cupcake]

Hello Audrey,

I spent a long time trying to find Margaret Mein's parents. It was year when my cousin from Australia was here, and she found them for me when she was helping with my research.

Margaret is my Great Grandmother.

William Mein b. 1806  married a Janet Gracie b. 1802. I believe they were married on the24th November 1827 at Kirkcudbright, Dumfriesshire. Going through my notes, William died - 17 May 1874. Janet died - 27 February 1864.

There children:

John  b.      1831   Terregles
Jane  b.      1833    Kirkcudbright
Mary   b.      1835   Troqueer
James b.    1837   Troqueer
Elisabeth b. 1841  Irongray
Janet    b.    1845   Irongray
Margaret  b. 1847  Troqueer
 
There doesn't seem to be a Jessie. Perhaps she died in infancy.

Hope this helps with your search.

Reading your message again, I realise the Jessie Jane or Janet would be a sister of William.

 William was born 1806. From the info I have, he had 3 sisters - Mary b. 23 February 1801   Jean b. 18 January 1803  Elisabeth b.  16 February 1812.  and a brother Robert b. 2 August 1807.

Audrey,

My William was married to  Janet Gracie.

 Yes,Williams parents were John Mein and Jane/Jean Black. The Jean born in 1803 has to be Williams sister. I hope she is the Jessie you are looking for.

There daughter Margaret Mein, who married a Robt Johnstone Moffat - Dumfries G Grandparents.

There daughter Janet Mein Moffat, was my Grandmother.

Hi Audrey,

Williams parents lived at Jericho, Locharbriggs, Dumfries. William at some stage moved out there and worked at the quarry.

Do you know who your Jessie married? and did she live in this area?

  This is a long shot, but could this be her death. The age is about right.

Kirkmahoe Churchyard

Also JOHN his son who died 10th July 1857 aged 25 years also JOSEPH his son who died 26th April 1858 aged 14 Also JEAN MEAN his spouse who died Novr.21st 1863 aged 61 years Also the above WILLIAM DALZELL who died 16th April 1872 aged 68 years

Audrey,

I'll have a search and see if I find anything.

You would have thought it would have been on Scotlands People. As you will know, they didn't have to register births, marriages before 1851.

 Audrey,

Have done some searching but not found James Douglas & Jessie/Jean marriage.

However, there was a William Dalzell & Jean Mein marriage on Scotlands People - married in Dumfries 1823.

Unfortunately, there is a problem topping up my credit. If I could get access to this, it would tell me their parents and know if it is your Jean/Jessie.

Will try again later.
