Hi,
Just joined Rootschat and saw this posting re the Sturgeon family in Dumfries Scotland.
My grandfather William was a brother of David Sturgeon and I am also descended from William Sturgeon and Sarah McGauchie. I have a lot of info etc. on my line back for several generations which I would be happy to share with you and any other family member.

Hello David & Margaret,

Cant help with Sarah McGauchie but Davids Father, William and his line back for 2 or 3 hundred years I have quite a lot of info. William of course is my G-Grandfather he was a steeple jack here in Dumfries, the family can be traced here from the 1500's.

Hi,
Just checked my index and I found that Sarah died in Dumfries on 28 Jan 1922 and was buried in St. Michaels cemetery on 30 Jan 1922.Section R Plot 130 St. Michaels Cemetery,Dumfries.
She was born in Dumfries abt. 1861 and was the daughter of Jane McGauchie(ms Colvin) who was born in Dunscore, a village about 10 miles north of Dumfries, abt 1827 and died in 1880's. Father was William McGauchie. I have a copy of their wedding cert..
