I am looking for some births, deaths and marriages for a family I have found in the 1841 and 1851 censuses, but I can't seem to find
any of them on Scotland's People. I would be grateful for some help with this.
Details from Ancestry's transcriptions are:
1841
Pathfoot of Blackcraig
Minnigaff
William Lamont age 68 b 1773 Kirkcudbrightshire labourer
Grace Lamont age 60 b 1781 Kirkcudbrightshire
1851
Challoch Croft
Blackcraig
Minnigaff
William Lamont 70 b 1781 Minnifgaff occupation Carter
Grace 67 b 1784 Minnigaff sister to William
Elizabeth McGoffog 14 b 1837 Minnigaff grandaughter
Agnes McGoffog 12 b 1839 Minnigaff grandaughter
I wasn't happy with the girls McGoffog transcription so I viewed the census on SP and the surname is quite clearly written as McGoffog. Elizabeth is a seamstress and Agnes is a scholar.
I am attempting to find a connection with this Lamont family and another Lamont family also in Blackcraig, so I was hoping to find some births deaths or marriages to see parent's names etc., and I would like to know who the grandaughter's parents are? I can't see them in the 1861 census. That surname is a problem for any marriage lookups too.
For reference, the following are the Lamonts I am researching and I am wondering if or how they connect to the above family:
(I am not requesting details of these Lamonts at the moment as I already have quite a lot of information)
1841
Blackcraig
Minnigaff
William Lamon

Lateshia 5
Wm 3
Jannet Polock 80 b 1771 mother pauper
Tateshea Blain (Polock) 43 b 1808 pauper
I know that the above places are all fairly close to eachother.
Thanks for any help with this.
