Wigtownshire / Re: MI's for Kirkmaiden, Stoneykirk and Kirkmadrine
« on: Friday 17 June 11 13:29 BST (UK) »
Hi Beanie
I'm new to this site so was very interested to see your MI lookup for McKelvie in Kirkmaiden. Andrew McKelvie and Sarah Niblock are my great great grandparents and I have been searching for some 30 years to find where they would have lived in County Down for the years between 1830 and 1850, and now I have found out thanks to your entry showing Ballywillwill.
I have suspected through other research but not yet been able to confirm that John McKelvie and Margaret Barkley also listed by you are Andrew's parents as I know they married in 1800 but have not found any children born to them until 1818 but Andrew would have been born between those years.
Randy's McKelvie's may be a connection to mine so would be interested to know if there is one. My McKelvie's were in Stoneykirk, Kirkcolm then went to County Down, Andrew died there, family moved back to Stoneykirk with some children by that time adults moving to Greenock Renfrewshire and then on to Dundee, but probably all originally came from Ireland.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks for solving a great mystery - another brick wall broken down!
