McDowall Stoneykirk

Hi Maureen

Just read this thread. I think Beannie very likely had the correct parents.
You may have done so in the intervening years, but if you find John McDOWALL's death registration, it should name his parents - assuming that the informant knew.
I see 2 possibilities on the Scotlandspeople index, one in Stranraer 1901, and one in Stoneykirk 1906.
I may be able to help you further, but will await your advice re how much more you have found since your last posting.

Hello Bruce,

 Can't believe it's  ten years since I posted that query!

I have found out quite a bit on John and Martha since then, his parents were the Archibald and Catherine (nee McColm) mentioned.

You say you might be able to help me further, are they in your family tree as well?

Hi Maureen,

I'm not connected as far as I'm aware, but I am a McDOWALL with Wigtownshire roots, and I have researched Wigtownshire extensively. I often explore other McDOWALL lines, partly in the hope of connecting, but more because I enjoy the process.
This was the first thread I have responded to on this forum, but if you check the archives of the Wigtownshire Mailing List on Rootsweb at http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/SCT/SCT-WIGTOWNSHIRE.html you will see many of my postings. (If you are inclined to deduce my address, it changed in 2010.)
I do have some further information on your McDOWALL family, but have to wonder if any of it would be new to you.

Maureen,

Thought I should clarify that I'm more than happy to share what info' I have, but I want to avoid using this forum to post lots of details which you may already have.
If you want to contact me privately, I'm ok with that, but if you don't wish to, I'll respect that also.

Bruce
