William Renwick

[pelirroja]

I’m hoping for help in finding the wife of my 7x great grandfather William Renwick, who was born on March 4, 1719 in Temple, Midlothian, Scotland.  His parents were James Renwick born in the 1690s and Agnes Scot, born on Oct 17, 1694 in Melrose, Roxburghshire.  They were married in Nov 1715.
I’ve traced all my Renwick ancestors back from my grandfather, James Renwick, 1890-1976 born in Hawick along the border.  My ancestors mostly lived in the border region so it’s somewhat easy to identity family members. Any  suggestions would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

Did you look on https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for the names of his children?

If so did they name his wife?

If not do you know the names of their possible children?

Yes, I’ve used scotlandspeople many times.  His one son I know of was William Renwick, born        May 11, 1744 in Kirkton, Roxburgh, and his wife was Janet Glendinning.
I can’t find the wife of my 7x great grandfather or any other children.  I found a possible wife but their  children were a David and John which doesn’t follow the naming patterns of my family.  Thank you for your help.

No, sorry but he isn’t.

I'm not too clear on the above but is this the couple you refer to?

RENWICK   MARGARET   WILLIAM RENWICK/MARGARET GLENDUNNING  01/10/1749   Castleton

RENWICK   CATHARINE   WILLIAM RENWICK/JANET GLENDUNNING    18/10/1754   Castleton

Just to recap.

WILLIAM RENWICK   JAMES RENWICK/AGNES SCOT    04/03/1719   Temple
Also James 1717 (No others)

WILLIAM RENWICK   Father - WILLIAM RENWICK   11/05/1744   Kirkton

The only marriage in Scotland on SP 1735 - 1744
RENNICK   WILLIAM   AGNES KNOX   25/11/1737   Selkirk


This is speculation but I note the following deaths on SP. I wonder if Agnes moved back to Roxburgh after James died?

JAMES RENWICK   Died    02/02/1735   Temple

AGNES RENNICK   Died    12/09/1736   Wilton, Roxburgh

Your recap is accurate and sorry for the confusion.   James Renwick () and Agnes Scot (1694) Melrose are the parents of James Renwick (1717-1717) and William (1719) Temple.  William 1719 is my 7x great grandfather but I can’t find his wife and she isn’t named on his  baptism registry. 
William 1719 had a son William 1744 Kirkton, whose wife was Janet/Margaret Glendinning  1742 Coldstream.  Well, I guess that’s the end of my search for the missing wife.
Thank you for all your help and for the possible death dates for James and Agnes.

“William 1719 had a son William 1744 Kirkton, whose wife was Janet/Margaret Glendinning  1742"

Thank you that was what I thought you meant.

However the only marriages I could find for anything like those names were the ones I posted.

RENWICK   MARGARET   WILLIAM RENWICK/MARGARET GLENDUNNING  01/10/1749   Castleton

RENWICK   CATHARINE   WILLIAM RENWICK/JANET GLENDUNNING    18/10/1754   Castleton

I found two births for the above.

RENWICK   MARGARET   WILLIAM RENWICK/MARGARET GLENDUNNING 1/10/1749   Castleton

RENWICK   CATHARINE   WILLIAM RENWICK/JANET GLENDUNNING    18/10/1754   Castleton

Obviously this cannot be your William born 1744, so did you find the marriage for him?

I guess you have ruled out the 1837 marriage for his father to Agnes Knox?
