Berwickshire / COCKBURN & HOME families
« on: Monday 17 March 14 05:06 GMT (UK)  »
I've been studying the histories of the Cockburn & Home families pre 1700 and it is extremely confusing.  I am wondering if anyone out there also has these ancestors:-
My ancestor Anna Cockburn married Thomas Baillie in 1706 in Lanarkshire.
Her father was Patrick Cockburn - no info on him other than when he died and can't find the death of Scot People.  His wife's first name is not given on the baptism for their youngest child (can't find any other baptisms, including Anna's) but her surname was Home & she was the brother of Sir David Home. Plenty of info on him and how he was guardian to Anna Cockburn.

Stirlingshire / Re: Rea Family - Little Canglor & Milnquarter

Sorry I couldn't be more help. 
Some of the OPR baptisms etc have it spelled CANGLOUR without the little in front, as a parish of St Ninians, as does the very old Commissariot records of Stirling.
And for modern times there is a Canglour Estate in St Ninians.
I found a place on an OPR called Goldenhove St Ninians which turned out to be Cultenhove and it is no longer a place but an estate in St Ninians.

So I'd suggest you find the Canglour estate and you will find the area where the family used to live.

My line goes back to far to another William Rae from Falkirk marrying another Agnes Rae from West Lothian.
I'd imagine that she was a cousin whose parents really came from Stirling as she married there....must go it is 1 am over here in my part of the world, Carole

Hi, I don't know how old your post about Canglor is.

My Agnes RAE was born in 1716 in Little Canglor, St Ninians and her parents William and Margaret were both from same area but her grandparents William Rae & Jonet Hutchinson came from Fife and Falkirk in Stirling.

I have a Gourlay on another branch and I can not find out anything about them other than James Gourlay born about 1760, came from the Edinburgh district

Hi and welcome to Rootschat....I wouldn't give up when there are so many helpful people on here 8):

I'm sure this is her family but that is really from eliminating every other one.
I like the idea of posting it on the Scottishboard, thanks

1861 Census:

Alexander Frazer Head age 42.. Stone Quarrier b. Scotland
Isabella Wife age 28 b. Scotland
Robert Son age 9 b. Scotland
Isabella Daughter age age 6 b. Scotland
William Son age 4 b. Cheshire
John Carruthers Boarder mar. age 56 Stone Quarrier b. Scotland
John Carruthers Boarder age 28 Railway labourer b. Scotland
Thomas Ward Boarder Unm. age 24 Railway labourer b. Ireland
Arch Mc Donald Boarder Unm. age 58 Sailor Cumberland

All living in the Parish of Kirkandrews Moat, Cumberland.

I think thing on is the best fit.

I would post this one on the Scotland board requesting info for Isabella's Birth Cert.
Hope this helps and good luck!
Carol

Hi and welcome

Who does SHE say her father is, on her marriage cert?

She has her father as Alexander Fraser ..a miner - which fits with the family I think it was.

Hi, I hit a brick wall many yrs ago with my g-gm Isabella Fraser bc 1854 Cheshire and I'm still stuck, no BC to be found.  She married in Yks 1873 aged 17-18 to John Kernick and emigrated to Oz.  She told some family her mother was Dorothy Brough; her father was Alex Fraser.
I think her parents were Alex Fraser & Is. Brodie from Scotland; they moved around England, as Alex worked on railway lines then turned to mining in Yks.  Son Robert b 1851 Abd, then Isabella c1854 Sct or Cheshire or Yks, then Wm b 1857 Norley Cheshire, then Eliz & John b Wales. I think Isabella could have been born Scot but there are so many of them.  I also think Alex died in Yks in 1885. Can't find anyone else tracing this family!
Should I give up?
