William Johnston Janet Little marriage Wamphrey 1811

[Christopher Earl]

Hi an ancestor of mine Isabella Johnstone was born in 1819 in Johnstone Parish Dumfriesshire but no records survive particularly OPR birth entries . Isabella died in 1876 at Wickethorn Kirkpatrick Fleming she married William Davidson b 1815 Middlebie d 1892 Wickethorn Kirkpatrick Fleming at Johnstone bridge in 1842 .
Isabella parents on her death entry states William Johnstone occupation Contractor deceased and Janet Johnstone Maiden surname Little . I saw a marriage 1811 Wamphrey William Johnston and Janet Little which looks certainly to be them considering William surname has inconsistencies in spelling . Looking for OPR birth entries have had difficulty identifying if they are on 1841 or lived to 1851 or 61 censuses or beyond . The candidates seem to be William Johnston b 1791 Wamphrey son of William Johnston of Kirkhill Wamphrey b 1761 Wamphrey d 1844 Wamphrey , son of William Johnston and Elizabeth French and Mary Irvine b 1770 Cummertrees daughter of Christopher Irvine mother unknown . Two entries for Janet Little b 1788 Kirkpatrick Juxta another entry there maybe baptism at Kirkpatrick Juxta fathers name Walter Little b 1757 who seems to be from a place Corrysyke Kirkpatrick Juxta mother unknown Walter father also Walter b 1730 same  place mother not known either . I think I’m on the right track Chris

" Isabella Johnstone........married William Davidson"

Where and when did they marry?

[Christopher Earl]

January 1 1811 Wamphrey Dumfriesshire is where they married

[Christopher Earl]

I have them on 1851 census at Hazlewood Hightae near Lochmaben William Davidson employs several Irish Labourers his occupation is described as merchant another source says Coal Merchant. 1861 Census and beyond he is at Wickethorn Kirkpatrick Fleming working with wife and family as a Carter . But regarding the dates on SP regarding William Johnston and Janet Little ie Isabella Davidson nee Johnstone parents I think what I found in original post is the closest evidence I can find Chris

[Christopher Earl]

Sorry no I haven’t located Isabella in 1841 no

Thank you perhaps checking the 1841 census for Francis Johnston May yield a result ? Chris
