MI's for Kirkmaiden, Stoneykirk and Kirkmadrine

[seidkona]

Dear Beanie and others,
I have some McKibbons (McKibbons, McCubbin, McGibbon etc), in particular the family of John McKibband and Margrat Gibson in the mid 18th century (these two were married in 1755).

I've looked through the previous posts here and see various later McCubbins - am assuming there are no older MIs with any of these spellings (and very few people had MIs in the 18th century) but am posting just in case. They moved between Stoneykirk, Inch and Kirkmaiden.

Any Gibsons also?

Jenny

Hi Jenny
I've checked through all 3 MI's and there are no Mc Kibbon, McGibbans, although there are a couple of McCubbin but of later dates. There are 36 MI's of Gibsons in all three cemeteries. If you can give me names and dates I will gladly check through them for you.
Regards

Thanks Beanie. The Gibson I've found so far is Margrat (who married John McKibband in 1755), probably born around 1730. Possible names of her parents or other family members might be Susanna or Grisal, Alexander, Mary, John, based only on the names of her children.

All best,
Jenny

Hi Beannie,

I'm hoping to find info on an Alexander McGuffie b abt 1821 Kirkmaiden and died 21 Dec 1891 Kirkmaiden, Married Mary McCulloch b abt 1821 in Kirkmaiden in 1845.

i think that they had 4 children James 1848, Alexander 1850, John 1854 and William 1859.

It would be great to find if any of the above appear on any graveyard inscriptions in Kirkmaiden.

many thanks for you help

Hi Ivylea,
Here are the 3 McGuffies in the MI book. All the others are McGuffog
No Alexander and Mary McCulloch, but these maybe their children.
(Rustic scroll)
In memory of William McC. McGUFFIE who died 29th Jan. 1939 aged 79 years, beloved husband of Jane MARTIN. Their son Peter Martin who died in infancy. Also the above Jane MARTIN who died 20th Nov. 1941 aged 76 years.

Erected by the family in loving memory of their brother Robert McGUFFIE, son of James McGUFFIE, who died at Drummore 6th March 1906 aged 22 years. Elizabeth TORRANCE, wife of James McGUFFIE, who died 27th July 1920 aged 70 years. The above James McGUFFIE died 21 Jan. 1933 in his 87th year.

(Left side) Also their sister Janet died 23rd Oct. 1956 aged 82 years.

The next one is very long, re; McMurtrie, but at the bottom it says

Hi Beannie,

Many thanks for your prompt response. I'll have a look through the information that you have provided, compare it to the info I have on my tree and get back to you if I have any more questions

[ivylea]

Beannie,

The info that you have provided fits in with the info I have already.

William McGuffie , husband of Jane Martin (I didn’t have her maiden name before) I believe is one son of Alexander McGuffie and Mary McCulloch. (Do you think that Peter would have been named Martin as he was born and died before William and Jane were married). I'll start to look for their marriage info.

James McGuffie,  husband of Elizabeth Torrance is another son of Alexander McGuffie and Mary McCulloch. 

I already have their children to be
Janet (b 1874)
Margaret (b1877)
William (b1879)
David (b 1881)
Robert (b 1884)
Alexander (b1886)
John (b 1888)
Elizabeth (b 1889)

The info that you provided matched the above for Robert, Janet, Bessie and Alexander.

You mention the latter being on your tree, do you have him listed as a son of James and Elizabeth or is he a different Alexander to the one in my tree.


thanks

Hi Ivylea,
I have James, who married by 2xGreatGrandmothers cousin, Grace Gowan McCracken in 1908, son of James and Elizabeth Torrance. The McGuffies' are only by marriage. I have James McGuffie, husband of Elizabeth Torrance death in 1933, if you want it I will send it via PM.
I hope this helps.
I think there was a McGuffie who was the Harbour Master at Grummore before my Great Grandfather David Chalmers.
Kind Regards
