Hi Audrey,
Thanks for your very kind offer. I am particulary interested in the Rankin(e) family - especially John & David(son).
John Rankin was married to Marion Cosh & had 6 children - Alexander, Jannet, John, James, Jane and Davidson.
Davidson (may have dropped the "son" of the end) married Elizabeth Thorburn & had 7 children - Margaret, Alexander, Jannet, John, David, Agnes & Elizabeth.
As you can see there is quite a few reptitions of christian names, which makes this all the harder for me. If you need more info - let me know, but I believe the majority of them were born & lived in Portpatrick all their lives.
The parents of John & Davidson were Alexander Rankin & Janet Ingles - don't know if they were still alive at the time of the 1841 census or not so if you could locate them, that would be fantastic.
If I can return the favour, let me know. I have the BIVRI & 1881 British Census.
Regards
Diane

Audrey,
Thanks for looking for me, but excuse me if I'm a bit confused. I thought that the census you had was for Portpatrick, Wigtownshire. I don't have any connections with Wigtown itself.

Hi Audrey,
Many thanks for the information. That is definitely 1 of the Rankin(e) clan I am looking for. Was there no entries at all for John Rankin(e). He's definitely on the 1851 census.
Thanks for all your help.

Hi Diane
What info are you looking for for John Rankin?  I am a descendant of John Rankin and might be able to help. 
John Renkin (son of Alexander Renkin) was a widower and living with his son John Rankin and family in the 1851 census.  If you want any other info, please let me know.
