thanks gadget  i think it was my misread on elzibeths last name.    since these are getting into to the shakey records time frame do you have any suggestions on finding john and marions parents.  i have seen mcblane/mcblain and even a bad transcription of blane.   where would you suggest i look.      beans

I think it's just working away at the marriage/baptism/MIs/possible wills/testaments and the censuses


This is a possible for them on the 1841

Main street, Newton on Ayr Parish 612 ED 1 page 20

Edgar
John, 27, wool carder
Ann, 30
David, 6
John, 3
Thomas, 1
John, 61, wool carder
Marion, 61

All born Ayrshire

It's a bit late now. I'll see if I can find anything out tomorrow.

Only John Edgar who is coming up in the baptisms in Ayrshire is:

15 Jan 1775 s/o John Edgar, Ochiltree

This might be Marion or a possible  sister:

15 Dec 1777 Mary McBlain d/o James McBlain, Dailly

hi everyone and gadget  i did manage to find marion mcblain was born oct 2 1786 and christened oct 4 1786 daughter of thomas mcblain and ??  but that is al the further back i have been able to get. the elizabeth anderson edgar listed in the first post married james rennie a games officer who was murdered by a poacher.  now the rennies are not to difficult to trace but the edgars and mcblains are proving troublesome.    beans

Hi beans

The IGI has this as a submitted record giving the mother as Isabel Gordon - but no Isabel amongst her children so far 

If they used a form of the naming conventions, Marion's mother is possibly a Mary

Marriage/Banns  in Dailly:

17 April 1783 Thomas McBlane and Isobel Gordon

hi gadget thanks for that.   thomas and isobel might not have named a daughter isobel but mariaon did and john did.  so i suppose thats as close as we can get for now.  thanks again for the info the lady i am helping with this is going to register for roots chat so she can do some inquiries herself.  again thanks for the help.   beans
