Murdochs, McCraes, Wrights of Colmonnel, Girvan, Stranraer, Ayr
« on: Wednesday 15 August 12 18:36 BST (UK) »
John Murdoch and Janet Aitken married 05 Dec 1795 in Stranraer, Wigtown
and had the following children that I know of:

James b 1796 but presumably died young as second son was also called James
James  b 02 Oct 1798
Hugh b 20 Jan 1801
Helen b 09 Aug 1805

Their son James Murdoch, above, b 1798, married Jane McCrae on 29 May 1825 in Kirkcolm, Leswalt, Wigtownshire.  Jane was the daughter of James McCrae and Jean McNair/McNarin
Children:
Elizabeth 1826
John 1827 married Rosina Wright 18 Dec 1851 (daughter of Alexander Wright and Margaret Fraser)
Andrew 1832
James 1833
David 1836

John and Rosina had:
James Murdoch b 1853
John b 1856, Inch
William b 1858 in Liglartrie, Colmonell
Andrew b 1860 in Colmonell
Margaret b 1863 in Girvan
Jane  b 1869 in Colmonell

Note:  they may all have been born in Colmonell, but births were reg's in nearby Stranraer or Girvan.

Any help with these lines would be appreciated.  Thank you.
