There is a reference to Springfield on a D&G council document about public roads. It mentions Chapmanton road running from Springfield to the roadend. There is now a Plant nursery on Chapmanton Road - which is unmarked. This would count as Crossmichael Parish I think.
That would place the location of Springfield on the north side of Castle Douglas just on the far side of the A75.
Yes it is.
It is visible on the old map here. Just keep zooming in. Select Historic tab at the top of the page.

In fact it is still on modern OS maps. Emrie Bell is shown on the modern OS map at multimap, just down the road from Springfield. They are now on opposite sides of the A75.
Hope this helps

Neptune cottage is visible on this map if you zoom in until it is all greyscale.

It is on the north side of Kirkcudbright as you leave town on the Tongland Road, near the big bend in the River Dee. It is before you get to Low Boreland.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I have a question.
In the 1851 census, the entry for George and Janet Imrie contains the following:
George J Imrie 44 H
Janet B Imrie 43 W
Rachel Imrie 20 D
Charles Imrie 17 S
Thomas Imrie 15 S
Richard Imrie 13 S
Mary Ann Imrie 11 D
Agness J Imrie 6 D
Margret D Imrie 5 D
William Imrie 2 S
N K 1 Mo G S
I can't figure out the grandson. I'm guessing that "N K" is for not known. There are at least two children present old enough to be the parent plus presumably George (born 1832?) and Janet (born 1828?) as candidates. The D.O.B.s I've seen stated or estimated for Benjamin make him too young. What am I missing?
On a personal note, CMG, I have to confess I cannot remmeber your middle name. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Diarmid (my middle name)

The child may be William Davidson Gibson, born on 1 March 1851 at Tarbolton. If so, his mother was Rachel Imrie.
The census took place on 31 March 1851, so this corresponds with the recorded age of 1 month.
Rachel married James Gibson at Tarbolton on 4 July 1851.
