Dumfriesshire / Re: Location of High Enoch & Enoch Castle, Durisdeer
« on: Monday 05 March 12 23:27 GMT (UK) »
Thank you Graham and June !
I was in Dursideer 1991 from Alaska, the Shankland family lived in High Enoch cottage in 1861. Before that they were in Mennock Bridge 1841 & 51.
I have Thomas Shankland & wife Mary Hogg, they had 6 sons in mid 1750's
Their son Robert & wife Jean Blackwood, had 8 children in late 1780's ( Robert was born in Crary)
Then their son Samuel & wife Marion McMurdo, had 9 children.
Then their daughter Catherine & husband William McMorrine, had 10 children
Then their son Samuel McMorrine & wife Harriet Anderson came to USA 1906.
I am trying to connect locations, history of their occupations, interested in history about High Enoch cottage, when it was built, etc. Map of dwellings at the time census was taken gives insight.
The McMorrine seem to come from Kirkudbright area and Shankland from Dumfries area.
Thanks !
