The poor during and after the famine of the 1840s were not really acknowledged by the minister in Old Parish Registers at that time!

Found records for Kells parish poor relief in minute book 1845-1866.
Reckon that John Wilson died between June 1849 and February 1850. Also found that he worked as a barker on the Earlstoun estate in June 1849. His wife, Ann started to receive poor relief from February 1850 as a widow. Still unable to find any trace of John's death. He died at age 43, following the potato famine!

Hi Doolittle72,
Do you know if there are pauper burial records for Kells parish covering 1840s and 1850s?
Thanks.

Hi Gadget,
Further to our correspondence.
I found out recently that James Wilson's father, John married Catrine Tait in the parish of Anwoth on Dec 21 1752.
They had 2 children baptised in the parish of Dalry :-
James 25 Oct 1758 Cullmark
Janet.    6 Feb 1760 Fingland

Also, in the Parish of Kells :-
James 11 Oct 1765 Garrary
Agnes.   3 Oct 1768 Markland
Robert. 17 Dec 1772 Markland
David.      1 Mar 1776 Markland

Kind regards,
Wilske

Discovered 2 entries for Jean McTaggart in the court records of Kells parish. This was possibly for an irregular marriage which was not recorded in the parish register and possibly for the birth of an illegitimate child.

Have managed to go one step further back. James Wilson was born on 11 October 1765 at Garrary, home of John Wilson and McMorine Tait.
