Bland, Balmaclellan

[SilverSprat]

Hi bluerenwick
It is interesting that you are from Salford when two of my ancestors William and Nathan Bland ( my GGGrandfather) went to Withington Lancashire after a brief time in Allithwaite Grange-over-Sands, presumably looking for work in the building trade

Hello All, I am new to this site, I have just discovered it as I am doing my Ancestry.  My Great, Great Grandfather was William Dalzell Maitland Bland B 1827 - D 1904 he was married to Isabella McMinn. B 1833 - D 1907
I would love to find out more about this as based on the Census it states they resided at Loch Vale Cottage, Dumfries.

Many thanks for any info. Shopper 123

Hello shopper123 and welcome.
This is an old thread and the original poster hasn’t been on for a long while. Hopefully they will get notification.
In the meantime, what exactly do you want to find out about your Bland family?

Goodness, this takes me back!

Welcome, Shopper   

The link that Monica has given has information that you will find useful, including the sale of the property in 1879.

Hello Neale1961, you asked me what I want to know about the Bland family well there is so much.
My father who has now died had on his birth certificate the name James McMinn Bland however, we have been told that McMinn is not a Scottish name but, possibly Irish so we are intrigued to know if this is correct.  With regards to the Ancestry side of things I have managed to go back as far as William Dalzell Maitland Bland's parents who were Nathanial Bland B 1788 - D 1859 and Mary King B 1801 - D 1877.  We cannot find any parents of Mary King but, they all to be born or lived around Kirkcudbright.  We would love to know more about her side of the family.  Also, and lastly, Nathanial Bland who was born 1788 his father was John Bland B 1758 - ? and his mother was Janet (Jean) Heron B 1766 - D 1791.  Here we draw a blank.  So, if you or anyone could shine some light on this side of my family I would be so grateful.  Many thanks Shopper 123

Hello Silversprat,  I too am new to Rootschat.  My 2nd Great Grandparents are also William Dalzell Maitland Bland and his wife Isabella McMinn.  In 1881 I also have them living at the same address which I cannot find anywhere on Google earth! It would appear that they must have moved from Scotland possibly for work, I am not sure.

Another person on this loop also had dates of birth for Nathaniel Bland, Agnes Bland - I do agree with their dates however, I believe that the date of birth for Janet Bland was 1835 not 1830 as based on the 1871 Census it stated her age as 36 so working backwards that would make her born in 1835.  Maybe this person who states Janet's birth as 1830 has an actual Birth Certificate as I do not.  Would be grateful once again for any information.  If I can help anyone in anyway I am more than welcome.
