Parlane in Kippen

[tigger_lass]

Hi

I am looking to track down the birth date and parents of John Parlane, born in Kippen. He married Jean Forsyth in 1801 and lived at Thirds Farm, Kippen and died before 1841. Can anyone help with this?

Regards

There are 2 or 3 births on SP in Stirlingshire, 1 in Kippen but that was back in 1755. 
There are 2 in Strathblane, 1 in 1766, the other in 1772.
How you would evidence whether any of them were yours, I'm unsure.
Unlikely the OPR would give you much more info, although it might show the address of the father?

Hi Tracey

The only John Parlane that's showing on SP in Kippen (the Banns show him to be of Kippen)  and old enough to marry in 1801 is:

Baptism - 13 Oct 1755 John Parlane - parents Alexander Parlane and Janet Robertson.

I think it might mean that their children's names, in birth order should be checked. I'll go see

Hi Gadget, we've both picked up on this one at virtually the same time.  I'll hang back for now to avoid duplication but give me a shout if I can help.

Hi Dave and Tracey 

These are the children that I've found. I've just given the year but can give the full baptism date if you want it:

1804 - James
1806 - Mary
1808 - John
1811 - Robert
1813 - Walter
1816 - Elizabeth
1818 - William
1820 - Robert

It would seem to suggest that John's parents were a James and Elizabeth 

Have we got Jean's parents? Looks like she was from Gargunnock on the marriage entry

Likely parents for Jean:

Gargunnock 1 Aug 1779 Jean d/o John Forsyth and Mary Birrell


John and Mary would be the ones i'd expect so we're probably looking for a James and Elizabeth unless Jean had their first child bpt Gargunnock

Dave - I'm giving you a shout 

Kippen - 25th July 1758 - John Parlan - parents James Parlan and Elizabeth McLucky - only ones that fit

Thanks!!

Just found Jean's death cert on SP and it shows father as John Forsyth and mother as Mary Burnet so the Gargunnock entry is the right one.

The 1758 John might work as the Parlane males seem to marry quite late in life to younger women eg John's son William b. 1816. His children were born from 1865 to 1869 and his wife was born in 1828.
