Templetons of Creetown, Kirkmabreck

[Cjeff]

Thanks Gadget

I've posted a note on the Ayrshire board and will hopefully get some answers! 

Could I ask you where I'd be able to get hold of the Templeton MI's for Kirkmabreck, you previously mentioned the 3 stones there which refer to the family in Liverpool and Helen Templeton who was the wife of a Samuel Nae.

I haven't been able to find Mary Templeton, who was born c1826, and was on the 1841 census with I presume her mother Catherine and siblings, maybe she died in the area before the 1851 census.  I also haven't been able to trace Samuel and Catherine's granddaughter Mary Ann R Thomson born c1850 Kirkmabreck, she was on the 1851 cenus with them, I was hoping to try and find out who her mother was, but have had no joy.


Thanks again for all your help.

Caroline,   Source Newcastle City Library - Samuel Templeton married Jane Lawther, children Robert, Mary-Jane, Ellen and William.  Occupation stone mason.  Born Kirkmabruik.  Died Newcastle.  Found this years ago, cannot remember dates but about your time.  Hope this helps.    B.   P.S.  Could have been Lowther.

Caroline, further thought.  If the Samuels are the same stone mason, the daughter in1861 would be Mary-Jane.  B.

Hi B

Thanks for that.  I had a look on the search indexes at Newcastle City Council and marriages on ancestry.com but still can't find the marriage record - I've tried the name Lowther, Lawther.  I suspect it is the correct couple - their children according to the censuses were Catherine b1860, Samuel b1863, William b1867, Mary Jane b1869, Ellen b1876 and Robert b1878.  My link is William, we have his birth certificate which states his father to be Samuel Templeton and mother Jane Lawler.

Thanks for your help.

Caroline, I have an idea that William may have died in South Africa.  B.

[Cjeff]

My William died in Newbiggin in Northumberland in1940. 

I know that William's brother Samuel Templeton died in South Africa.  I was kindly sent death records for both Samuel b 1863 and their sister Catherine b 1860.

Caroline, I am related to Robert Templeton and if I could wave a magic wand would  like to know more about Mary Ethel Currie, his wife.  Her father was Archibald and her mother an Armstrong. Brothers and sisters, Eliza, Margaret, Nathanial and Lovett.  Margaret married a McNamee and lived in Consett.  He became a priest and worked in Rome.  This is of no real interest to you but I feel better for "putting it out there ".
              I have a certificate of permission for Robert to, I think start work, with Jane's name as Lawther on it But she could not write her own name - it is x.  I am not in U.K. so all a bit difficult.  B.

Caroline, before I forget, I think Jane's mother may have been a Mack from Yorkshire, father involved in foundary work. B.
