Hello

From the IGI  -- www.familysearch.org there are the 8 below (1 transcribed twice) - obviously possibly more - I take it you have these. If not, go to the site - use the search tab and enter the parents names.  What specific information are you looking for - I take it their parents?

Regards,   Steve :O)

Gender: Female Birth: 21 JUN 1794 Ballantrae, Ayr, Scotland
 
 2. ANN MCCREDIE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 06 NOV 1807 Inch, Wigtown, Scotland
 
 3. JANE MCCREDIE - International Genealogical Index
Gender: Female Christening: 04 AUG 1812 Inch, Wigtown, Scotland
 
 4. JANE MCCREDIE - International Genealogical Index

Looking for the parents,

Have searched the IGI births/christening - 10 years either side of 1769 in both Scotland and Ireland - no entries. 

For Janet - searched 5 years either side of 1772 and came up with 4.

1.ch. 02 Dec Colmonell, Ayr  parents James McCredie and Martha McBride
2. ch. 10 Jul 1772 Inch, Wigton parents - John McCredie
3. ch. Aug 1775 Ballantrae, Ayr, parents Andrew McCredie and Jean McIlroy
4. ch. 15 Dec 1775 Inch, Wigtown, parents - John McCredie

A strong possibility that 2 and 4 is the same parents - a female child dying and a sister then given the same name.

______________________________________________________________________________
Looking on the IGI for marriages - 'all countries', 5 years either side of 1795 comes up with 3 Janet McRedies getting married in Ayr.  None to a Robert McCredie - and none in 1793.  There is a Janet marrying a Robert Crawford in 1994.

Looked on Scotlands people (www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk). from 1790-1800 - no marriages on the OPR for Robert McCredie or McCreedie. 2 within that time frame for a Janet McCredie - none in 1793.

I admit a very basic search.  Regards,  Steve

Hi Steve,
Thanks for all the information.  I am very new to this site and a bit unsure of myself.  I do have the children of Robert and Janet, but am looking for anything on Robert's parents.

Father could be William
Mother Mary Cumming
Married in Ballantrae ?1760
They had ? four children

Jean born 29.1.1761
John born 23.7.1763
Robert (my great-great grandfather) born 3.3.1769
William born 29.5.1773

Regards,
Judy

Hi Steve,

 Yes, these are my relatives.  Have found this site but I have been told that Robert's father and mother are not Thomas McCredie and Jean Earle, but are William McCredie and Mary Cumming.  I don't have anymore information other than an marriage date of 20 March 1760 in Ballantrae.

Thanks again,

Judy
