It's a mixture of info - censuses, Family Search and, if all else fails,  Scotland's People.

I'm sure I saw possibles for Robert and Jane - will check back later.

Would you like me to go back to Peter snr's parents, Daniel and Agnes.and Elisabeth's parents, Hugh and Mary, or do you have info on them?

I do have info on Peters family but not a lot on Elisabeths, can't believe you may have seen something on Robert, Jane.  Daniel and Agnes came from Ireland, Have their births deaths, but can't get back any further Thank you again

Parents - David Blackwell and Elizabeth Torbron/Thorborn

David and Elizabeth married in Inch 15 Jan 1796

Children of David Blackwell and Elizabeth Torbron/Thorborn in Old Luce (from Family Search):

18 Nov 1802 Elizabeth
6 March 1806 Hugh
18 May 18091809 James

A probable son, John,  bpt 26 Mar 1797, Inch but only father's name is shown.

This might be David and Elisabeth Blackwell in 1841 with son James and his wife and child:

Balmesh, Old Luce
David Blackwell, 70, farmer, b. Ireland
Elisabeth, 70
James, 25
Margt, 25
Elisabeth, 1
Agnes Rainey, 15, Female Servant
All but David born Wigtownshire

Note that ages were often rounded down into 5 year age bands in the 1841 - so 70 could be anything between 70 and 74, 25 anything between 25 and 29.

My goodness thanks once again I'm just about dancing round the room, it's been a long time since I had some good news. Can I ask, the Robert and Jane I can't find are Peter and Elisabeths and(Janes) children, when he died she was left with three little ones, she married Alex and if she died in 1878 he would be left with the little ones, I know Peter made his way back to New Luce but nothing on the older two

I'm having problems identifying Robet and Jane, Stoddie. The ones that I thought were them turned out to be (maybe) cousins after lots of checks, etc. I don't see deaths for them either. I'm now wondering if they might have been fostered/adopted. It's all very difficult as there were no official adoptions in those days.

I've tried doing large global searches on those born New Luce 1872-78 but cant't identify them so far 

I'll try some more searches and get in touch if I find anything worthwhile.

Hi Gadget, I have tried to find we're you got death cert for Elizabeth Fenion Donald but just can't find anything, put all the info I  but it doesn't come up. Please can you help,

[Gadget]

Hi Stoddie

It was on the Scotlands People site.  If you can't find it, send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send it to you.
