In the www.dumgal.go.uk 1851 census in (Shipping Registers ) They have my ggg grandfather ( Captain John McBurnie ) of the schooner Lord Nelson. Lost at sea in 1839. His memorial headstone beside troqueer church lists his age as 39yrs old at death. so he would have been b:abt.1799 or 1800
I have his marriage to Ann Irving in 1824 Plus all his children ect ect But I cant seem to find his parents and siblings. The ( parish record of marriage) just states ( John McBurnie of Tinwald payed 5 schillings ) to wed ann Irving. No parents listed ? I figure there must be a record of his death some were
that might give his parents names. Can anyone help me with this ??
