Hi Tomba

You don't give dates, etc. but I'll check the MIs.

Re your more general question of research, it might be worth you contacting the Dumfries and Galloway FHS:

http://www.dgfhs.org.uk/

 the Ewart Library:

http://www.culturalprofiles.net/scotland/units/3331.html

or the Kirkcudbright Museum:

From an extract of entries in the Old parochial Registers of Births Deaths and Marriages in the parish of Crossmichael, in the County of Kirkcudbright Scotland, we find that James McGuffog was baptised on the 5th June 1803, lawful son of Jas McGuffog and Margt Riddick in Dunjarg
In the 1841 Census we find that James aged 35 a farmer is living at Nethertown, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland with his wife Ann aged 30, Alexander McGuffog aged 5 years, Margaret aged 3 years and Ann aged 1 year, along with three servants Robert Rae, Jean McKinnel, Margaret Clune, and Ann Beattie.
 In the 1851 Census James aged 47 and his wife Ann aged 45 are living at Merkle Cocklick, Urr, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, James is described as a labour of 260 acres employing 5 labourers.
Along with Alexander a son aged 15 years, born Kirkpatrick Durham. Margaret a daughter aged 13 years, born Lockrutton.  Ann a daughter aged 11 years, born Kirkpatrick Durham. Mary a daughter aged 9 years, born Kirkpatrick Durham. James a son aged 5 years, born Kirkpatrick Durham. Agnes a daughter aged 4 years, born Kirkpatrick Durham. John a son aged 2 years, born Kirkpatrick Durham. Helen Broadfoot a visitor and scholar, aged 11 years, William Broadfoot a visitor and scholar, aged 9 years, along with Robert Brown aged 18 a farm servant, Maryanne? Aged 26 years a house servant, and Jannet? Aged 30 years a dairy maid
In the 1851 Census James aged 47 and his wife Ann aged 45 are living at Merkle Cocklick, Urr, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, James is described as a labour of 260 acres employing 5 labourers.
Along with Alexander a son aged 15 years, born Kirkpatrick Durham. Margaret a daughter aged 13 years, born Lockrutton.  Ann a daughter aged 11 years, born Kirkpatrick Durham.

Aged 26 years a house servant, and Jannet? Aged 30 years a dairy maid
 In the 1861 Census the family name is given as “McGuffey” James a Farmer living at Merkle Cocklick, Urr, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland, aged 68 along with his wife Annie aged 55, his sons, James aged 15, James aged 13, John aged 11, Robert aged 8 and daughter  Mary aged 19. The James McGuffey age 13 that is described as a daughter I am guessing is Agnes. Along with the family is 4 servants, Agness Mallar a dairy maid, James McGemes a ploughman, Jannet McQueen a servant and Jessie Stewart a domestic servant.
  In the 1871 Census The family name is still “McGuffey” James is of Cairnholly Farm, Kirkmabreck, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. A farmer aged 66 years, his wife Anne a farmers wife, Mary his daughter, Anne Thomson his grand daughter and scholar aged 11,  Mary Baxter also described as his granddaughter, aged13 working as a servant, and George Dow, a farm servant.

This one here is confusing as I am not sure if where the Mary Baxter (Grandaughter) fits in or if it’s a mistake it seems to be a mistake

In the 1881 Census, The family is found here under the name “McGuppog” James is listed as living at the dwelling Dirdow in the parish of Girthon, Kirkcubright, Scotland. Aged 77, a widow and retired farmer. His birthplace is given as Crossmichael Kirkcudbright Scotland.
Also at the dwelling is Lilly McGuffog a grand daughter aged 3 born Limrick Ireland. Margaret McGuffog a daughter married aged 27 born Limrick Ireland described as a visitor. Mary McGuffog aged 35 and described as an unmarried daughter born Kirkpatrick Durham, Kirkcudbright, Scotland. Annie Thomson an unmarried Grand daughter aged 20 and a dressmaker born Tongland, Kirkcudbright Scotland. Herbert T Thomson a grandson and scholar aged 14 born Flintshire, and Robert E Thomson a grandson and apprentice engineer aged 14 born Flintshire.

This one here is also confusing I’m not sure who the Lilly McGuffog (granddaughter ) is nor the Margaret McGuffog both born Limrick Ireland?

I'm not sure what other information you're looking for. I see that your earliest is 1729. The Kirkpatrick Durham registers start at 1693/4 with some gaps. There are some possible baptisms for this William between 1730-1735 in Girthon, Anworth and Dumfries.

There are quite a few Wills on the Scotlands People website using all the variations of the name - not all will be yours and there residence is varied.

To go further than this you will certainly need some local and/or Edinburgh research. I think the contacts that I listed on my first message might be the way forward.
