The info posted by Annie related to the death of Margaret in 1861

Thanks Carole!

I possibly didn't make it clear on being her possible death but if it isn't, it would seem a coincidence although the age is out the mmn would certainly entice me to check it out?

I'm so glad for you Karen 

I know SP can be very tricky to use especially with name variants & if you don't know the short-cuts it can make it very time consuming 

Out of curiosity, what was her cause of death & who was the informant?

Hi Annie,
Margaret died of Lumbar Abscess she had this for 17 mths.
Her informant was her brother my Great Great Grandad William Gilmour.
Best Wishes

Hello,

A Margaret McGuffie was my maternal great-great grandmother, provided we are speaking of the same person.

The information at my disposal is that she was born in 1835 in Kirkinner, which is just to the east of "The Whaup", (or Whauphill), whereas Glasserton is down on the coast road from the Port to Whithorn. However, I have no attestation for my info, and my family has agricultural links to the area going back generations, so I'd be intersted to know where your link to "Glasserton" comes from. The family farm was at Barrachan (Shed Park or "Shedlach of Barrachan"). In the 1851 census, she is stated as age 18, which may make her birth date 1833. Parents John and Marion McGuffie. Married Henry Dixon (b. NI 1829, died 1879).

Same person?
