I think this is the big house - Genoch Mains:

"Genoch Mains: C19 farmhouse; to SW is a conical-roofed circular doocot (c.1800)"

I've just spent ages looking but come up with very little, so thanks for those links Ambly. It doesn't look to be a very grand house to have a Lodge .... :-\ Assuming it is the right place, now you have a date of c 1800.

Thank you so much everyone! I will carry on my search, I guess things often come to a standstill when you find an Irish relative though  :'(

He was an egg collector so perhaps he lived/lodged in a farmhouse? Is there any other way of reading Scottish records? Scotland people is very expensive! I assumed it must be Bangor as it is so close to Dumfried & Galloway, perhaps the accent made it sound like Bengon?

Does anyone know how I would go about finding out what religion they were?

Have you found baptisms for any children?
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

You need to search for local church records and see if there's any trace of the family.

Thanks, I think they must have been Church of Ireland (protestants) but do the churches have their records online? Will they have BMD records too? Thanks  :) :)
