Haldanes of Colmonell, Ayrshire

[tigger88]

Hi all

I'm chasing verification of the marriage of John Haldane and Elizabeth Milwain and also the birth of Elizabeth, hoping to get her parents.   I do have a marriage from parish registers for John Haddan and Elisabeth Milwain 15/4/1790 in Stoneykirk, Wigtown.

There are so many John Haldanes I am getting confused as to who is the right one plus there are so many different spellings of the name!

If anyone else is researching the same family, I would appreciate some help.  Thank  you.   Have a great day.

John Haldane, b 27 May 1798, Colmonell, Ayrshire, Scotland, married Elizabeth McIlwain, abt 1804, Colmonell.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the info rmgm but I'm not quite sure that is does help as I have already found a marriage/proclamation of banns notice abit earlier.    The John Haldane you found is the son of William and Jean Haldane but I don't have a marriage for him yet, unless there is another Elisabeth Milwain.  The birth date is correct.

Scotlands People BDMs had the following info:
John Halden in the parish of Colmonell and Elisabeth Milwain in this parish were booked for proclamation of banns to the marriage 15th April 1790.

I don't have a marriage date for them, nor do I know where Elizabeth comes from.  I do have their son, John's, info and his date of birth coincides with the date of the marriage Banns.  I would really appreciate if you would be kind enough to let me know if you do match your Elizabeth with John Haldane b. 1805.  I have just started researching this side of the family.  I am related through William Haldane b. 4 May 1800, Colmonell, who married Jean Houston b. 03 May 1806, Irvine, on 11 Nov 1838 - their daughter, Jane Haldane or Jeanie Holden is my great grandmother.  I am sorry I don't have to much to share with you, but as I find the info, I could just post it here if you would like.

John Haldane and Janet McCredie first son's info should read:

Hi Roberta

I can certainly swap info if you would like.   The only thing is, I can't quite identify your John H and Elizabeth.   John Haldane and Elisabeth Milwain (b 1798) are my husband's 3 x grandparents, their son John b. 4.10.1805 who married Janet McCredie are his 2 x grandparents, his grandparents are John McCredie H. [first born son of John and Janet] and Christina Ross who arrived in the Nelson district of NZ in 1855 from South Australia. I have the same info you do on the children although I do have some marriages you don't have.
I am not exactly sure where your 3 x grandparents fit though, who are William's parents? Also you say you have a birth date coinciding with the marriage date of John and Elisabeth, but I have a JAMES born 1790, could we have the name mixed up?
If you would like to email me, perhaps we could discuss this further?
