There are none in the Kirkcolm Old Parish Churchyard with headstones.

Thanks greatly Terry!  It's the older ones that I'm interested in. There were a whole bunch of Blains in the 18th and early 19th century and I'm trying to sort out which ones are who... things like the mention of William Blain being 'tenant at Ringnillie' are precious!

The one about the shoemaker in Stranraer - only if there is any mention of whose daughter Jane Blain was. There was a Janet or Jessie born around 1820, father William Blain, and a Jean or Jane b. around 1825, father Peter.

The Bennoch one looks potentially very interesting indeed - yes please.  I have a Jean or Jane b. around 1778. I'll try looking for the Bennoch/Blain marriage.

Some of the names of the 18th century people (who may well have lived into the 19th c.) - James, Patrick/Peter, Robert, Jean/Jane, Janet, William, Thomas, Charles.

A James Blain who appears to have been tenant at Dalhabboch married Janet McBryde in 1777. Any mentions of MacBrydes are interesting to me too.

All best,
Jenny

Terry - updating info a little bit. A Mary McKibbon was married to James Blain in 1782... I'd be very interested in any McKibbon (or McCubbins) MIs also!

All best,
Jenny

Hi Jenny,

There are no McCubbin(s) or McKibbon in Inch but there are two in Kirkcolm.  Do you want them.
