Stirlingshire / Re: RISK Surname - Mainly Stirling, Dunbarton, Renfrew & Lanark.

Since my previous post yesterday (May 9 2020), I have received an update from ancestry. com on DNA results and it looks like my William Risk (1 Sept 1796) is one in the same as the William listed with the date 1796 and Elizabeth Hall is his 2nd wife. The DNA results gave me information for a half cousin through William and Elizabeth's daughter Jane Malcom (nee Risk) Morton is my 4th Half Great-Aunt.

I am looking for information on Mary Risk (nee Paterson) possibly born around 1773, who was married to John Risk (my 5th Great Grandfather) and had a son as per the information from Old Parish Register Births: William Risk born 1 Sept 1796 with a residence listed: Touchgoven Stirling. William married Margaret Rait on April 22 1815 St Ninians Stirling and it is through their son John Thomson Risk (1820-1893) that I am linked to Risk's. I can not seem to find any information further on Mary Risk (nee Paterson) such as her actual birthdate, who her parents were or where she was buried etc. I also have not come across any other siblings for William Risk so I believe he may have been the only surviving child and possibly Mary Risk (nee Paterson) died after childbirth maybe? I found a John Risk married to a Margaret Lapslie, 23 Nov 1796 St Ninians and was thinking possibly John remarried shortly after Mary's death. If anyone has any information about Mary Risk (nee Paterson) or John Risk or William Risk (Born 1 Sept 1796) I would love to know more about this branch of the family. I also found a William Risk b 1796 married to an Elizabeth Hall in 1836 but do not think this is also my William of 1796 because of the dates of birth of the children from Margaret Rait and those of Elizabeth Hall overlap one another. Thank you in advance my email is (*)
