Hi there

I wonder if anyone can help me locate information about William Milligan 1740-1816, married to Janet Lowrie.

Any help would be most welcome 🙏

Hi Neale1961

I managed to get back to John Milligan (1702-1787) father of William Milligan (1740-1816) both buried in Lochrutton Cemetery.

Do you happen to have any of their relatives in your tree?

John is my Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather.

Many thanks

Hi Forfarian

Yes I started on scotlandspeople a few years ago.

Managed to add to what I had when I got a DNA test.

Hi Matt
Visited the cemetery yesterday and saw stone.

Was amazing to see it and loved the craft that was in the stone.

As for PM I can't send them as I get a error message. I think it's because I need to make more posts.

I see your in Liverpool?

I know my great great grandfather went from Kirkcudbright to Liverpool. John Milligan who married Nicholas McMurray.
