MI's for Churchyard at Inch

[Whatsyumacallher]

Hello Terry

this is a first for me!

If you have the time can you see if you have any Hamiltons in your MIs. 
I think most of the family moved away, but I know of three who died in the area.
Mary Ann Hamilton, aged 8 months, died 18 March 1861 (parents William Hamilton and Margaret Elliot)
William Hamilton, aged 9 years, died 15 September 1877 (parents as above)
and William Hamilton married to Mary Elliot, aged 45, died 25 December 1882, run over by loaded cart.

Many thanks

Linda

Hi Linda,

I'm sorry but there are only 2 Hamilton graves with headstones in Inch Old Parish Churchyard and these are Earl and Countess of Stair and families.

Many thanks for looking anyway.

Hello Terry,

Thanks for the generous offer. I am looking for BLACK, any, as they're all related, but especially William Black, miller of Innermassan, who died about 1837-1841  and his wife Agnes. They lived at Inch with their large family.

Hi Chris,

I'm sorry but there are no Blacks at all with headstones in The Old Parish Churchyard or Soulseat Burial Ground at Inch.

Please is there anybody with the Inch /Soulseat MIs who could check for BLAIN. It's a long shot, but I'm trying to track mine through the Inch farms. There might just have been a headstone at some time, for somebody...
 

There was also a John Blain who went off to farm in Kirkcolm - so if you happen to see any from Kirkcolm too please...
