Hi Tiana

I found your other thread and have put a message on that one:

Hi

I'm linking this thread to this one:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,296609.0.html

On the other thread, Tiana, you said that Anthony and Mary had the following children:

Robert June 1811
Anthony July 17 1817
Mary Campbell March 23 1824

I have:

John - 17 July 1809
Robert - 18 June 1811
Janet - 6 Aug 1813
David - 24 Oct 1815
Anthony - 17 July 1817
James  - 1 Sept 1819
Mary - 9 April 1824

all bpt Balmaghie.


Do you know who Mary Shaw's parents are? I'm thinking that Anthony's father was a John and Mary's a Robert but the naming conventions can be switched.

Anthony Campbell was still alive in 1851 but Mary is dead

I can't find a death for him as yet, so he maybe died 1851-54.

Will keep looking.

Is there no records for 1851-54? I'm not sure what the Whin Parks is either. Will have to google it.

[Tiana]

From what I can tell by googling, Whin Parks is a B&B right now.

Apart from MIs, there are no death/burial records online until 1855 

There might be something in the Kirk Sessions minutes or at the Ewart Library, Dumfries:

I'll have a look in the neighbouring parishes of  Kells, Crossmichael, Kelton and Parton later. There might be something.

I'll have a look at the web site too. Thanks for all your information.

Hi Tiana

Just to update you. I've checked all the MIs for the surrounding parishes but can't find anything.

One thing that might be a problem is that there was a tax on baptism, etc. entries around the time of Anthony's birth and many parents, while having their child baptised, did not pay for an entry to be made    This happened to a few of my ancestors in the area and I've had to work things out from MIs, marriage and death records and personal documents.

Gadget,
Good morning, is it possible that the spelling of the name has changed? I'll keep digging today after work. Thanks
