Hello Beanie,

I am trying to figure out where my Stoneykirk McDowall's were buried.  My hope is that they have a family plot in Stoneykirk. A few of them moved to Inch, confirmed in the 1841 and 1851 censuses, but I've been told through the MI's in Inch, they are not listed.

I'm looking for Hugh McDowall (1822-1885), his wife Jesse McDowall (nee: Weir, 1830-1869), his sister Margaret McDowall (1819-?), and most importantly his parents John McDowall (1768-?) and Elizabeth McDowall (nee: McCaig, death before 1841).  I don't know anything about Elizabeth's parents names and hoping the MI's could possibly shed some light.  John McDowall's parents were Alexander McDowal and Janet Kilpatrick.  I know they married in 1757 in Stoneykirk, so I assume they were born around the 1730's.  I'm also assuming they would be buried in Stoneykirk as well.

Thank you so much in advance,
Kerry McCarthy

Hello Terry,

I am trying to figure out if some of my Stoneykirk McDowall's were buried in Inch.  A few of them moved to Inch, confirmed in the 1841 and 1851 censuses. 

I'm looking for Hugh McDowall (1822-1885), his wife Jesse McDowall (nee: Weir, 1830-1869), his sister Margaret McDowall (1819-?), and most importantly his parents John McDowall (1768-?) and Elizabeth McDowall (nee: McCaig, death before 1841).  It's possible John and Elizabeth are buried back in Stoneykirk, but John is shown in the 41 and 51 censuses with Hugh and Margaret, in Inch, after he was widowed.  I'm wondering if he (and possibly Elizabeth) is buried with Hugh?

Thank you in advance,
Kerry McCarthy
