Angus,

Was there a connection to Gadgets Samual McCoskery d. 1797 in reply #5 to those you were researching?

Hi Jimmy as far as I can definatley confirm with records is the Marriage of Robert Coskry to Elisabeth Copland feb 9 1840, and the 1841 census that gives his age as 30. So that gives his birth around 1811 there are not many McCoskry's around Rhonehouse and my suspicions are that they are probably all related from before this, but up to now I don't have any proof of this altho the family's that live in the area both seem to use Robert and Nathanial as names
the link below takes you to my family tree it may be of some help to you I wonder why you ask maybe you have some info I may find useful  ?
Cheers  Angus

My 5th GG Father was Samuel McCoskery, his grand-daughter Mary Coskery in turn had a daughter Anne who married James Coupland (b c. 1829, Kirkmahoe) so seems possible that with both Couplands and McKoskerys there may be a link to your own tree.  I'm not currently subscribed to Ancestry, but planning to in near future so perhaps once I have looked at your tree I'll be back in touch.

Cheers Jimmy  if I find a link I will post it up so keep a watch for my posts . I didn't think you needed to subscribe to ancestry to look at the trees only if you wanted to start a tree of your own altho you may have to join but not pay anything
   good hunting

Hi thanks for the info. Tarff bridge is only a stone throw from keltonhill and samuel died there, so  there is a good chance it links up with mine some where. I will have to check all my papers and see if I can make a definate confirmed link . many thanks again for the info

Samuel McCoskery is also my husband's 5 x Great grandfather, through Mary's son Gavin Milligan.  Would be interested in sharing any information with you.
