MI's for Kirkmaiden, Stoneykirk and Kirkmadrine

[ankerdine]

Hi M

Thanks for your reply. My grandmother was born 1883 in Back Ramparts, Stranraer. Her mother Jane Williamson was a domestic servant on the 1881 census but unemployed. So the question still remains why did my grandmother have the name Mann as a middle name on her birth certificate? The name Mary also didn't appear in Jane's family at all! Her parents though were married according to the Catholic Church Rites.

Good luck with your research. I see you have posted valuable information about a new Irish site within Family Search. Well done.
