Hi Don
Thanks for the info. I have both these records in the 1844 it gives Williams mother as Margaret Logan. I was hoping it would confirm as Janet Wallace. I can find no other records beyond the birth certificates of his children to clearly confirm Williams parents.
Thanks again
Stuart

Hi Monica
Thanks for your response and for the information. It would appear that William died between 1825 and 1861 but where? He was in Cumnock in pivots 1825 directory and his wife Elizabeth was living in Skares in 1861 but I can find no trace of either of them between these dates. I’ve searched all the local graveyards but can find no record of them. The search goes on!
Thanks again
Stuart

Hi thanks for the information. That is pretty much where I got to and makes perfect sense. There are however a few things that muddy the water for me however. His first son was born 1814 and he was already a surgeon at the age of 20. Was that possible then? I’ve found papers on Scotland people of a Dr Wm Kirkland of Ayr who died 1841 but gives his mother as Margaret Logan. In the ad of 1825 ish it lists him as a surgeon with a John Wallace. Did he name his second child after him?
It would help if I could find where he or his wife Elizabeth was buried or a death certificate but so far no luck.
