GREEN Lochmaben

[Boongie Pam]

Hi All,

Does anyone have an interest in Greens in Lochmaben and Applegarth & Sibbaldie?

I have some images of "Green" graves from Lochmaben if anyone is interested.  

My key family are Robert Green (b ~1785) and Henrietta Ryecroft (b ~1787) who lived in Lochmaben and appear on the 1841 census.  They had 11 children from 1800s to 1828.

I know there are other researchers on this family as I have found old posts on Rootsweb but never made contact.  I have quite a bit of material and always willing to share.

Cheers,
Pam

Hi Pam, I have just found this site and registered.  My Grandmother was born a Green and the Green family came from Lochmaben, Dumfrieshire!  I have  a William Green who had 2 "natural" children with a Margaret Burgess.  Catherine Green in 1809 and James Green in 1813.  We think that your Robert Green who married Henrietta Rycroft was a brother of William Green.  We have no birthdate for William and we think that his father and Grandfather were both James Green.  There is also a William Green who marries a Margaret Bell sometime before 1829 and has a son John Green.  We do not know if this is our William Green or another William Green born around 1809 who was a son of Robert Green and Henrietta Ryecroft.  Any information would be most helpful.  I have information from our William to present that I can share with you as well.  I would be most interested in observing Green grave images.  Our Greens did originally come from Applegarth and were in Lochmaben by 1800.  Kind regards, James Galbraith from Canada.

Hi James,

I hope this posts properly!  This is what I have so far but I am planning a trip to get more info tomorrow which may patch a few more of the families together - buying these images got a bit pricey!

I've seen your CAtherine and James on the IGI and somehow thought they were related to JAmes Green and Catherine Galloway who had children in both Lochmaben and Applegarth.  If the naming convention holds the parents of my Robert Green snr should be James and Mary but I haven't found a trace yet.  I'll post again tomorrow when I have more info put together.  I also have 26 BMD certs which I'm happy to share with you - they relate to the people below who have a definite date against their name post 1854.

Thank you very much Pam!!  My father actually copied the parish records for Lochmaben about 15 years ago.  So he may have some more information for you.  He should also be able to send you an ancestral chart.  We think that the William Green that had 2 illegitimate children with Margaret Burgess had as his parents James Green and Catherine Galloway.  We think that this James' father was James and that his Grandfather was William.  Our William Green also has another illegitimate child with a Mary Baird who was still living in 1851 in Kirkmahoe with John Jardine and her daughter Elizabeth Green who married John Jardine.  William Green and Margaret Burgess had a James Green born 1813 Lochmaben.  He married Agnes Hamilton in 1845 in Ontario, Canada.  Our Green's came to Canada in 1832 from Lochmaben.  They had a son James who married Ellen Kennedy in 1879.  They had a son Robert James Green who married Eleanor Forfar in 1912.  They had a daughter Elinora Aickin Green who married my Grandfather Samuel Clements Galbraith who was born in 1909 and is still living.
      From your chart it appears that the William Green who married Elizabeth Grierson did not have the child John Green in 1829 with Margaret Bell.  Looking forward to finding out more information.  Kind regards, James.

Wow it is quite a tangled web isn't it. 

After todays labours, which I'm still trying to digest - I can add another family to the lot above - James Green (son of Agnes Hunter & John Green) married Elizabeth Tweedie and I have a pile of kids along with that. 

I also found a James Green who died at 84 on the 6/7/1872 his address is High St Lochmaben.  His parent's are listed as James Green and Unknown Galloway (presumably Catherine).  He was the widow of Elizabeth Hay and his death was registered by George Green - I've failled to note the relation
ship but I think it is his son.

I'll be hitting the census again to try and make sense of this - no pun intended 

All the best,
Pam
 

[lighthouse]

Thank you Pam!  It would make sense that there would be a James Green existing as both of James' grandfathers are believed to be James'.  I think that Catherine Galloway's parents are James Galloway and Fergusia Montgomery.  James Green and Catherine Galloway's last child was named Montgomery Green (a girl) in 1800 in Lochmaben.  Have you been able to find all of the Greens in Lochmaben in 1841?  I don't know if my William Green born abt 1785 was still alive or possibly the James Green who married Catherine Galloway?
     I am going to steer off in a completely different direction.  I notice that you apparently have access to the Dumfries censuses.  If you are able to could you look up a John Rodger who married Helen Hewat or Welsh on July 27 1840 in Dumfries.  They had daughters Robina and Janet born between 1841 and 1844 in Dumfries, Dumfries.  The family would likely be in Dumfries, Dumfries when the 1841 census was taken.  My dad is going to be so pleased with all of the new information.  He has more information on the Greens from Applegarth and Lochmaben but is out of town for a few days.  Looking forward to hearing from you again!  James

Hi James,

I had seen the IGI Greens with Montgomery et al I hadn't worked out all the connections though.  I have quite a lot but not all the 1841 GREENs I am due to revisit them when I get a chance to go the library, probably next week.

When I originally started this research I followed the wrong Robert Green - I thought Robert the son of William Green and Elizabeth Grierson was my direct.  So I've a lot on Grierson info from 1841.

I'll post after my library visit.

With regard to Dumfries it's a bit of a toughy - it isn't indexed and there are I think 27 enumeration districts - it's a very long film - I'm still trying to find some of my lot.  Do you have any idea where in Dumfries they maybe?

Cheers,
Pam

Thank you Pam!  The marriage and the children were born in Dumfries, Dumfries.  James.
