Neptune cottage is visible on this map if you zoom in until it is all greyscale.

It is on the north side of Kirkcudbright as you leave town on the Tongland Road, near the big bend in the River Dee. It is before you get to Low Boreland.

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but I have a question.

In the 1851 census, the entry for George and Janet Imrie contains the following:

George J Imrie       44   H
Janet B Imrie        43   W
Rachel Imrie         20   D
Charles Imrie        17   S
Thomas Imrie        15   S
Richard Imrie        13   S
Mary Ann Imrie     11   D
Agness J Imrie      6     D
Margret D Imrie     5    D
William Imrie          2   S
N K                   1 Mo    G S

I can't figure out the grandson. I'm guessing that "N K" is for not known. There are at least two children present old enough to be the parent plus presumably George (born 1832?) and Janet (born 1828?) as candidates. The D.O.B.s I've seen stated or estimated for Benjamin make him too young. What am I missing?

On a personal note, CMG, I have to confess I cannot remmeber your middle name. Hope you and your family are doing well.

The child may be William Davidson Gibson, born on 1 March 1851 at Tarbolton.  If so, his mother was Rachel Imrie.

The census took place on 31 March 1851, so this corresponds with the recorded age of 1 month.

Rachel married James Gibson at Tarbolton on 4 July 1851.
