Hi,
1851 Census Broats Moor, Kirkpatrick Fleming
John Gorley, head (64) handloom weaver.
Jannet Gorley, wife (67)
Agness Gorley, daughter (34)
John Gorley, son (32)
Jannet Gorley, daughter (30)
Jean Gorley, daughter (27)
Elizabeth Black, grand daughter (6)
Jannet Thomson, grand daughter (7)
Margaret Irving, grand daughter (11months)
All born Kirkpatrick Fleming.
In my last post referring to Margaret Irving as a daughter of Jane Gorley and Christopher Irving, Jane would possibly be Jean as above in 1851 census and not Jannet. Jean Scottish version of Jane.

Dear All

William Rule and Margaret Gourley (Gorley) married 16 July 1841 in the parish or Annan.  Their children are William born 1843, Agnes born 1845, Jannet born 1848.  These children are on the 1841 census then later they have Robert Rule born 2 February 1853 in Annan and George born March 1851 again in Annan, Dumfriesshire.

I found William (Senior) Rule had died in Sept 1867 in West Derby, Lancashire aged 51 years.

But in the 1861 census in Scotland William Rule is married (cannot find a marriage) to Rebecca Stewart Gordon aged 39 born in Kirkcudbrightshire.  She died in S C Asylum about 1891 and is buried in Dumfries. 

William and Rebecca Rule had a son called Martin Smith Rule born 12 December 1856 and a Daughter called Ann Rule born about 1860, both born in Annan.

But what happened to Margaret Rule nee Gourlay???  She must have died?? Can anyone help me to find her death??

Regards
Oletta

A marriage for William Rule and Rebecca Gordon on 27th November 1854 at Annan on SP.
His first wife Margaret must have died between February 1853 and November 1854 but can't find a death on SP for her.

If Margaret died in Annan no church burials listed there on SP unfortunately. You could see if there is any mention in the Kirk Session Records.

Dear All

Thank you very, very much for the information youhave all very kindly sent, but I think these Gourlay's are getting complicated. 

When I first put on the tab I was looking for Mary and Ann.  I think I have jumped with different information which I have been given.

At present Margaret Gourlay (Gorley)'s parents are Samuel gourlay and Mary Harkness.  This is the Margaret that has married William Rule.  All the other Gourlay's that everyone has sent me do fit in my family tree.  But the problem we have each family keep using the same Christian names from one generation to the next!!  They don't make thing easy!!
