Wintruphead

This is I think a transcript from the excellent Scottish Indexes of the family  found by hcc in 1851. Scroll on the map links and you will see there is a place called Wintriphead.

That definitely coincides with the Bankhead (Road) , referred to in #14

ev- it looks to me as if the OP and Dougie are referring to two different but similar places - one in Middlebie and one near Bankhead, SE of Dumfries.

and it says John Kirkpatrick, blacksmith died at Wintruphead 2nd October 1867.

Yes , 1861 John Kirkpatrick , age 63 , blacksmith , at 3 Winterhopehead , Dumfries , Dumfries-shire.

My first time using this forum. Didn’t expect such quick and fantastic help. I wasn’t aware of the Scottish indexes. It indeed was SE of Dumfries at “Wintruphead” and not the farm at middlebie as I first thought. I’ll be back with more questions. Thank you all.

Winthrophead is on the Bankend Road about two miles from Dumfries.  John Kirkpatrick the Blacksmith was my great g grandfather.
