I'm not sure if it's any help but one one of my Burgess clan  married a James Dargavel in Dalry, Kirkcudbrightshire on 28 Oct 1843.

The moved to Ontario and James died there in 1884:

My ancestor Margaret Dargavel married William Davidson at Kirkpatrick Fleming 1876 . On several censuses she is said to be born circa 1845 to 1849 at St Mungo Dumfriesshire, but no OPR . Her death entry states in 1924 at Kirkpatrick Fleming that her parents were Peter Dargavel Labourer and Jeanie Brown . Informant was her son James Davidson. However perhaps he didn’t know his grandparents. I found 1851 census entry Margaret Dargavel age 2 b St Mungo , father William Dargavel b 1800 Morton Dumfriesshire mother Margaret Brown b 1803 Closeburn. Fathers occupation Bookseller . However in her marriage entry her father is William Dargavel not Peter and he is a Ploughman mother Margaret J Brown . Checking OPR entries I found a William Dargavel b 1797 Morton parents John Dargavel and Janet Milligan . Then searching elsewhere I see another Marriage for William Dargavel on SP in 1853 to Clarkson Dargavel perhaps Margaret mother passed away . Then a 1871 census entry High Street Dryfesdale Lockerbie William Dargavel ages 70s book canvasser (out of health ) wife Clarkson Dargavel and another individual I think a sister in law . Then I saw a death entry William Dargavel, Dryfesdale 1872 aged 76 .
