[mrs a]

Does anyone have any information on James Rankine, farmer, who died at Arndarroch farm, Todstone Dalry 3/3/1881, aged 86 years.  Or any info on the farm? I have info on his ancestors but am looking for his descendants.

Hi

The IGI have a Hannah Rankine, born Falkirk 1844 to James Rankine and Janet Brown which would fit with the ages in the census data.

This is a submitted IGI entry but James birthyear is well out 

The birthyear shown below should read 1842

JEAN CHARLOTTE    ch. 18th December 1832 Falkirk

James Rankine  Birth:  About 1811   Of, Falkirk, Stirling, Scotland

Marriages:
Spouse:  Janet Brown    Marriage:  02 FEB 1836   Falkirk, Stirling,
 
It would be interesting to confirm that James was a widower at that time as there is no way Janet could be the mother of the first 3 children on the 1841 census
