Thanks Gadget
Unfortunately I don't think this is my Samuel Templeton. My ancestor was born c1829. He died in Newcastle in 1887 Q4 aged 58.
The Samuel Templeton's born around that time and in that area on the 1841 census were:
1. Samuel Templeton born c1826 Kirkcudbrightshire
Living in Creetown Old Street, Kirkmabreck
Other Templetons in the household were Catherine born c1791 Kirkcudbrightshire, Mary born c1826 Kirkcudbrightshire, Jess born c1828 Kirkcudbrightshire, David born c1831 Kirkcudbrightshire.
(We believed our Samuel to be the above. On the 1851 census we found Catherine noted above with husband Samuel, although we have found no marriage record, we assumed these were Samuels parents?)
2. Samuel Templeton born c1832 Kirkcudbrightshire
Living at Gatehouse Back Street, Girthon, Kirkcudbrightshire
Other Templetons in the household were Grace b1794 Kirkcudbrightshire and Eliza b1823 Kirkcudbrightshire.
3. Samuel Templeton born c1831 Wigtownshire
Living at Blacksmiths House, Penninghame, Wigtownshire
Other Templetons in the household were Adam, b1806 Wigtownshire, Anne b1811 Wigtownshire, Elish b1829 Wigtownshire, Jane b1833 Scotland, John b1835 Wigtownshire, Anne b1837 Wigtownshire, William b1840 Wigtownshire.
