My husband is a direct descendant of John McGeorge and Jean Baxter, parents of an Elizabeth McGeorge born 1807 Springholm, Urr. John and Jean had at least two children before they were married, Elizabeth being one of them, the marriage taking place abt. 1816 in Springholm, I've never found an actual record of it, but have seen the Kirk Session records about Elizabeth which read as follows:
"Monday May 4th 1807, Baptized at Grange of Urr, a child christened Elizabeth to Jean Baxter in Miln of Auchenreoch. The father, John McGeorge, in the same place (Auchenreoch) had satisfied the Church, for the crime of fornication with the above-mentioned woman, but refused to present the child, so that this duty fell on its mother."
John McGeorge was the son of a Peter McGeorge about whom I know nothing, and was always in trouble with the Kirk elders over girls!! As his father was Peter McGeorge, he was not brother to your Elizabeth. As you know, my Elizabeth McGeorge married James Murray March 1832 Haugh of Urr, Kirkudbright, he was about 40 years older than her and had been married before. They had six children before James died in 1844, Elizabeth died in 1891 in Springholm. One of their sons, James Murray born 1840, went to London and became a draper and married Agnes Catherine Irving there, she was born 1836 in Caerlaverock, Dumfries, but whether they knew each other before going to London is not known. James and Agnes took their family to Austalia in 1877.
I can look at both the Kirk Session records 1806-1847 and the Urr parish records, but it might not be until next week.
Hope this has helped with one of the Elizabeth McGeorges!
