Hi csc, I have probably followed your research path. In 1841 the census states that Thomas and Isabella and children were in New Abbey at a farm called I think, Cullendish. In 1851 Isabella and Thomas are at Drumjohn with the remaining children Isabella and Jane. Isabella died in 1862 at the age of 76 her father was Adam Corrie and her mother was Isabella Black. Unfortunately Thomas died before 1855 so the only hope of finding out who his parents were is through locating his burial place. Regards stoop.

there has to have been several thatched roofed cottages at woodside  elizafield  banks cleuchbrae  in mouswald old parish records i cant find any kerrs getting into mischief  but the dicksons appear to be outdoing everybody  everybody is getting into trouble with the church for drunkeness and gathering nuts on sunday  i wonder if that meant firewood they would not have been able to afford coal it was available but expensive do you think they would have candles and lamps  csc
