Ive looked at original b/cert for Andrew and William and occ of father is a Mason. 


Helen's d/cert states Samuel occupation as a Carter.  Although it shows Samuel Murray and Janet Johnston as parents.

Hi
Im looking at Helen Hastings (Murray) d/cert which does name Samuel Murray and Janet Johnstone as parents.  Im unable to decipher Samuel's occupation tho?
I will take a look at the first three children once ive bought more credits.  Thank you.

The marriage was on Geaneanet.

I got to Samuel and Janet by tracing from my Grt Grandmother Hannah Westgarth Scott nee Harris...parents Hugh Harris and Mary S Hastings....g/parents John Hastings and Helen Murray....father Samuel Murray and wife Janet Johnston. 

Geneanet may not be 100% correct but the area of my ancestors abode is correct as they were living  in or around Parish of Morton, Sanquhar.

Hi folks

Thanks for your replies.  Ok there seems to be some doubt over John Murray so ive gone back to my Grt G/father Samuel Murray b.1747 Morton, Dumfriesshire.  He married a Janet Johnstone in 1779. Geneanet does state Samuels parents as John Murray and Betti Johnson but obvs cant trust this info.
Samuel had a dau Helen Murray who married John Hastings.  I know Im on the right track with these ancestors.  Just cant seem to confirm if John Murray and Betti Johnson is correct info??

Hi everyone

I have a John Murray b. 1721 Ewes, Dumfriesshire.  His parents are Lord Edward Murray and Lady Katherine Skeene.  Edward's father is Sir John Murray 1st Marquess of Atholl, Knight of the Thistle of Fife.  Ive found this info on several members trees on Ancestry.  What im puzzled about is how to confirm if Edward is actually a Lord and his father's status of a Marquess of Atholl and Knight?  Where can I see this info for myself please?

Many thanks

Elaine
