Jane Milligan - COMPLETED

[bigt]

I am looking for the birth of my 2x Great Grandmother, Jane Milligan.  She was born c1815 in Kirkcudbrightshire.  Her parents were James Milligan and Jane Hughan (from death cert)  She married a Robert Lockhart (or Lockart) at Kirkcudbright in 1837.  She died 1877 at Gatehouse of Fleet.  I have tried the usual places without luck and cannot find her parents..

Hi

Is she the Jane/Janet showing in the 1861/71 in Gatehouse and born Kirkmabreck?

If so, there is a possible bpt. of her mother:

Kirkmabreck - 6 Nov 1778 Jean Hughan, daughter of Alexander Hughan

Jean/Jane are used interchangeably at this time.

Yes Gadget that's the one in the 1861/71 Census.

Thanks yet again

I think your ancestors and mine  must have known each other  - Kells and Kirkmabreck 

There are some problems with the Kirkmabreck records, as I recall, I had problems with marriages, etc. around that time.

I notice that Jane might well have been Robert's second wife - he was a little older than her and seemed to have been married to a Hannah (?) earlier 

I'vechecked the MIs but nothing

Hi Gadget

Would his first wife be Hannah  Trollop?  I have 5 births to them in Girthon parish.

A rather unfortunate surname.

[Gadget]

Yes - have you got the 1815 one where she's down as Mary Trollop - is it her or a sister

Hi Gadget,

No, I don't have the 1815 entry.

13 January 1815, William. Son of Robert Lockhart and Mary Trollop, Girthon.
