McKerlies - Campbell's Croft, Old Luce, Wigtownshire, 1700's

"Galloway Gossip" ? that appears to be the book. My copy has the title page as being The Southern Albanach 80 Years Ago, by R. De Bruce Trotter, printer the Courier & Herald, Dumfries, with an intro' by Crocket.
 I read it every Winter, a tonic against the dark days.

Skoosh.

The 60 years threw me off. I will order a copy, thanks.

I went ahead and ordered the 60 year (with shipping $30). I did find a hardback 80 year but they wanted $73.85 + shipping.

By the way I found out that the publisher, Nabu Press, is going to have an iPad app later this summer where you can download the book. When their app site is up and running it will be called Biblioboard.

Update and I need some advice please.

I confirmed through Scotspeople that indeed Both John and Agnes are the children of George and Martha but the spelling was McCarlie. Interestingly enough though the orginal McKerlie son that started all of this James b. 1808 was not in the birth records but I do have his death record.

I ordered both records and then went off and running trying to find more information on Agnes. I just assumed when I went back to Scotspeople it would be in my cart and I could check out. Nope, nothing there.

They are in my timeline and I do have them saved to my favorites. Does anyone know how I can re-order them without having to pay the 5 credits to pull them up again?

Secondly, I think it is time for me to hit the Ireland boards for George and Agnes, Can anyone put me in the right direction?

Thanks.

PS I hit a brick wall for Agnes McCarlie after the 1851 British Census. I guess the next step is looking at her kids to see if she may be mentioned there

Hi Karen

Once you have viewed a search results page or an actual image, this is saved for you to view again at any time. If you look at the very top of the page, you have a number of buttons:

Viewed Images - Previous Searches - Timeline - Shopping Basket - My Details - Logout

If you have viewed an actual image, you will always find it indexed under 'Viewed Images'. Click on that link for the index, then for each entry in this section, just click on 'View' to bring up the image again on your screen. (You might also want to save key images elsewhere on your computer, I think you mention that have already done this?).

As above, to view previous search pages that you have already paid 1 unit to carry out and view, just click on the 'Previous Searches' button.

Regarding Agnes McKerlie/Matthew, I couldn't find a death entry on Scotlands People post 1855. She may not have died in Scotland (they were in England from what you have found in 1851) or she may have died before the start of official registration, pre 1855. I did the search for her as M*c*rl* for the maiden name to try and pick up on variants.
