Yes thanks for that. I had seen this thread and I do know the people. One is a cousin and in fact what happened to his father has recently been resolved.
I don't know if Edward Senior was from Galloway. That was told to me by the person who has been researching the family, what proof there is, she has, I am just offering to do the research in Galloway.
In fact, another member of my family says she has researched back to the Freugh line. So you see, until either researcher gives me proof, all I can do is take their guidance as they have done their research.
I have been asked to look for certain people. I am asking questions, as it is pretty complicated.
That thread shows Edward, 1794 had parents Edward and Elizabeth. It gets pretty difficult when everyone has the same name 😊 But it does concur with the research, however it doesn't say that he was born in Galloway 🤭
I didn't know that Uchred was maybe a varient of Edward, anglicised I assume.
Before I go across to Galloway I am waiting for confirmation of a few things. As I am being asked ref a Col Andrews McD, I thought I would ask questions about the Lt Col and his children to see if the time line is correct for any if my line being illegitimate. But looking, perhaps not. I have seen Col Andrew McDouall was father of an illegitimate child with Jean McWilliam, baptised Kirkmaiden 10August 1784. The McWiilliam name is one I've been asked to find with Col Andrew McD but not Jean
Thanks for your interest and comments, much appreciated
Oh yes, the pronunciation. I was speaking to a Mr Mc Colm in Drummore in 1999 when I was first looking for my family's clan. He was emphatic that our pronunciation was correct and not to be swayed otherwise 😅. And yes, over the years people have misspelled, mispronounced my name on so many occasions ha ha.
