Mary Moore, born c1802 at Girthon

[bigt]

Hi,

I am trying to obtain details of Mary Moore (Muir/Mure) born c1802 at Girthon Parish.  In 1828, she married a James Bailiff (Baileff/Bailiffe/Bailieff) at Gatehouse.  She died between 1851 and 1861, and in 1851 was at Kirkinner.  I cannot find her death to possible get details of parents.

By 1861, her husband and family are at Gatehouse of Fleet.  Their son John Bailiff married an Agnes Henry in 1862 at Gatehouse.  My DNA matches 5 descendants of John and Agnes, but cannot find the common ancestor.  After research, I suspect the link lies with Mary Moore and her ancestors.

Thanks for any help.

I've had a look Tom and it seems that she might have died between 1851 and 1855. Not all burials records exist.

Have you checked the MIs?  If not I'll see if I can find her (or possible Parents) in the  MIs.

What were the names of James and Mary's children  in date order?

[Gadget]

From the 1841, I see that children were

Margaret 10
Mary 8
Martha 6
John 4
Susannah 1

Do you know if there were other's before Margaret? Also do you know who James' parents were?

She died Kirkinner 24 March 1852, aged 51

Mi reads

Erected by James BAILLIEFF, forester, Barnbarroch in memory of his spouse Mary MUIR, who died 24th March 1852 aged 51 years Also of his mother Martha DINSMURE, who died 20th March 1847 aged 81 years

Sorry - no details of parents but Margaret looks a possible for mother.

Birth on SP gives Susanna Rennie Bailief 29/06/1840  at Kirkinner.  Rennie a possible surname of Mary Mure/ Muir/ Moores' mother.

Thanks for the replies.

Margaret seems to have been the first born.   I should have thought of the Name Rennie being Mary's mother's surname.  Also thanks for the MI from Kirkinner.

Hi Gadget,

Have James's parents, but names don't mean anything. The only connection my tree has with what I have regarding the Bailiff family is Girthon/Gatehouse of Fleet.

The 1851 has James as b. Ireland.
