Hi Gadget
I think it was me who requested that information. I know William Kinnay (Kinna, McKinna) and Mary Kinnay nee Irving (Irvine) both died in Dalbeattie but a couple of their children were baptised in Buittle. 1 child James Tait Kinnay (baptism records as Kinna) I believe died as a child and he was baptised in Palnackie as listed in the Buittle parish records.
Mary Kinnay nee Irving's mother's surname was Sloan and her mother's maiden name was Louden.
William Kinnay's parents were John Kinnay (a tailor) who at last mention lived in Main Street, Dalbeattie (1841 census) and Margaret Carnan (no record of although there is a Margaret Kennan who died in Bylet).
Any help you can offer would be great.

HI all
Am trying to track down some families left behind when my ancestors emigrated to Australia. Dont have a lot but here is what we do have: -

William John Brown born c 1831 in or around Balderashane(?). On 14 May 1852 he married Isabella Fagan at the Coleraine registery office. His father is listed as David Brown, a farmer. In 1853 they had a daughter Martha. In 1855 they emigrated and on the shipping record it states his father is James and his mother Margaret. That his father is dead but his mother is living in Balderashane(?). . (So some confusion there).

Isabella Fagan was born c1832 in or around Ballyangherton. On her marriage cert it stated her father is John Fagan, a labourer. On the shipping record her father is listed as John and her mother as Martha both still living in Ballyangherton. Her brother William John Fagan is listed as already living in Australia. Her sister Mary Jane arrived in Australia on the same ship and her father is listed as William John and her mother as Elizabeth although her mother is stated to be deceased. Her father is said to be living in Port Stewart. (So again some confusion).
On mary Jane's death cert her brother William provides the info that her mother's name was Nancy Wilson. (More confusion) and we believe that was the name of his mother. Her father is listed as John Fagan a quarryman.

I have found a John Feagan who died 1870 in Agherton aged  82 and was a aquarryman but of course am not 100% sure this is my guy.

Thats all I have confirmed.
THanks

Thanks for that. Does it give any details about John Black in the obit notice for him?

Trying to find the birth record for Charlotte jaques born 8 April 1808. Do not have parents details and that is what I am trying to find out. According to newspaper report of her death in Australia in 1902 she was born in Dublin (Whether that means county or city I don't know). Her father is reported to have come to Ireland during the French Revolution but we believe her mother was Irish.

She had a brother John who was a gilder and carver and he still resided in Dublin City c1841-1870. Charlotte married a john Black, a Blacksmith and the family lived in Port Stewart for some time (at least the last 4 of their 10 children were born in Port Stewart between 1846-1854.) They immigrated to Australia in 1858 on board the Frenchman.

Any help would be appreciated.
