Thanks very much Terry.

My partner's McDowalls left Wigtownshire, briefly via Glasgow, and ended up in Liverpool. They could be related to your next-door-neighbour!

Have a fantastic weekend :)

Hi Terry,

I'd like to take advantage of your kind offer and ask if there are any McTeir's, (McTear) or Olivers?

Many thanks

Many thanks to you Terry for your prompt reply.

I'm suprized at how old the grave is, I had suspected that the family had lived in the area for generations, this appears to confirm that.  Unfortunately my tree hasn't gone that for back yet! So I will print off the infomation and hope that it slots into place soon.

All the best to you

Interested in the mention of the McTeir family in the wigtownshire area, I have been tracing the family back on my fathers side 6 gen and reached as far back as 1871 with a date for a James McTeir born 1871 married to a Maggie Smith born 1871.
James McTeir's Father was John McTeir married to Elizabeth McCubbing but don't have any dates.
I would love it if someone could link them back to the brothers James and Andrew McTeir born 1732 buried in the Kirkcolm Old Parish Churchyard.
I found this all very interesting and appreciate any help that anyone can give.
My Father was George Smith McTeir one of eighteen of the McTeirs of Tweedhopefoot. will post a picture later.

Looking for James Mcculloch (1711-1794) presbyterian minister of Kirkcolm 1744-1794,married Elizabeth Kyle in 1748 & had issue,one of whom married a "Craw" who had a daughter-Elizabeth Mcculloch Craw b.1791.d.Quebec 1928.
I know from "Fasti ecclisiae scoticanae" that James McCulloch's first ministry was in Moneyreagh Ireland which may point to the fact that he was born in Ireland.
His G'daughter Elizabeth,married Edward Black also  a presbyt. minister(Penninghame)who emigrated with her to Canada abt.1822 and founded St.Pauls Church Montreal after helping at St.Gabriel's Montreal.
The above James McCulloch was descended from "the McCulloch of Myrtoune"-he may have even had the title.
His G'grandaughter,Elizabeth McCulloch Craw Black married John Greenshields and she used headed writing paper with the appropriate McCulloch authority.See picture.
Would be grateful for any info. on the above mentioned.
