Hi Douglas. My gggGrandfather, William Dippie (Foulden/ Chirnside/Hutton), was married to Margaret Steel, born @1763 Who seems to be the daughter of Patrick Steal, (b 1732) married to Elspeth Archibald (1737) . I do not have much info other than that, But would be pleased to share if it is of interest. Lochfoot

Hi. If your offer of look-up is still available, I wonder if you could give me any information on Dippie? No hurry, Just as time allows. Thanks. Lochfoot

Hi Kay. Thank you for going to all that trouble. I am very grateful.
You will be pleased to know that you are very likely correct. On checking carefully through my notes and records I found that there were two Marys born in Lochrutton in 1829. They are cousins.
From lds
No 1.
MARY WILSON
Christening: 26 FEB 1829 Lochrutton, Kirkcudbright, Scotland
Father: ROBERT WILSON
No 2
MARY DAVIDSON
Christening: 15 OCT 1829 Lochrutton, Kirkcudbright, Scotland
- Father: WILLIAM DAVIDSON Family
Mother: JANET WILSON
Robert Wilson (myGGgrandfather) and Janet Wilson were both children of William, Blacksmith of Lochfoot (my GGGgrandfather)
By checking the date of the 1851 census, we can see that the 22 year old Mary would be Robert’s daughter, and the 21 year old would be her cousin, Mary Davidson, (now Geddes.) It was my mistake, not checking that out originally.
At that point, I was not aware of the Mary being in Kirkpatrick Durham. I was only aware that Mary Geddes was the Grand daughter of William.
It does get confusing, and at times frustrating, but the achievement is all the better for that, as you suggest.
I had a very similar situation arose in following my wife’s family. A grand daughter on holiday gave a perfect link to grandparents.
I am near to adding that generation back, I think.
There is a James Richerson born in Twynholme in 1773, so that gives another possible stage to search.
Again, thanks, and if you can find anything in your deaths list, that would be terrific. I will go on here with my search. Willie

Hi Kay. Thanks for your reply.
Robert and Margaret certainly had a daughter Mary baptised in Lochrutton 26th Feb 1829. I have census record noted for 1841 when Mary is recorded as 12 years old, but no place of birth. !851 she is married to Wm Geddes, Tailor, and living next door to her parents. Place of birth Lochrutton. If there are McGeorges living in Lochfoot and Kirkpatrick, I feel there is likely to be a connection. I have not been able to find a Mary born in Kirkpatrick at that time, do you have one? As you will know, women often returned to their parent's home for their first birth.
I am really struggling to find Margaret Paterson Richardson's birth. She seemed very keen to hold on to the Paterson name, as it appears in many records, even her death certificate, for which her husband Robert was informant.

Thanks Kay. My gggrandmother's information so far:
Margaret Paterson Richardson married Robert Wilson Blacksmith, Lochfoot Lochrutton. No marriage recorded as yet.
Margaret born about 1800, no Record of birth so far.
From Death Cert. died 12 July 1864 aged sixty-four. Father James Richardson, Farmer. Mother Mary McGeorge. From census records she is recorded as being born in Kilpatrick or Kirkpatrick, the names often being confused, but referring most often to Kirkpatck Durham. K. Irongray is of course bordering Lochrutton, so nothing can be assumed. She had seven children. Including my ggrandfather James. Yours, Willie

Hello, as a late comer, I feel a bit lost in this thread, as it is a new name for me. I have just come across a Mary McGeorge who was the mother of my GGgrandmother. Mary would be born 1760-80ish and is probably the child of a John Mcgeorge and Margaret Macklauchey, as this side of my family came from Irongray, and I have lds record for this. But I have nothing else. I am a bit stuck. Other names I am linking in this area are Wilson, Richardson and Martin. I would be grateful for any information.

Hello. I just came across this thread and noted the reference to Agnes Davidson. I have a relation on my tree by that name who was born in Lochrutton in 1838 and died there in 1908. She was the daughter of Wm Davidson, Blacksmith at Lochfoot and Janet Wilson. Janet was the daughter of my GGGgf, William Wilson, the previous Blacksmith. If this is of interest, I can give you a little more information on the family, although I cannot find the birth of the above William @ 1773. I have a photo of Davidson Grave in the Lochrutton church grave yard.
