William Renwick

[pelirroja]

I redid the math for the marriage of William Renwick 1719 and Agnes Knox.  Yes, she might be the wife, and William would have been 18 years old when they married.  Their son, William, was born in 1744 making the father, William, 25 years old then. There must be other children, and thanks for mentioning Agnes Knox again.  You’ve been very helpful.

Colin, Just to let you know that The FamilySearch site has Agnes Knox as the wife of William Renwick 1719 and a son, William 1744.  However their marriage was on Oct 17, 1738 in Selkirk, Scotland.  I couldn’t tell into which family Agnes Knox was born. Just too many listed.  Again thank you.

I note the birth on SP

WILLIAM RENNICK 17/10/1738 Selkirk
WILLIAM RENNICK/AGNES KNOX

WILLIAM RENNICK  married   AGNES KNOX   25/11/1737   Selkirk

I’m confused a bit.....William Rennick was born 17/10/1738.  Therefore he couldn’t be the William Renwick who married Agnes Knox on 25/11/1737.

Your original post stated.

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

Your earlier post, which I agree with stated.

William Renwick 1719 had one son I know of was William Renwick, born  May 11, 1744 in Kirkton, Roxburgh, and his wife was Janet Glendinning.

So the question is how did you conclude the 1744 William was correct and how did you know his wife was Janet Glendinning..

Good question and I’m trying to answer it.  Both Ancestry and FamilySearch have William 1744 married to Janet Glendinning but I’m rechecking things.  Birth of William 1744 is uploaded.

Both Ancestry and FamilySearch have William 1744 married to Janet Glendinning Birth of William 1744 is uploaded.

You could contact the Ancestry member to see if they have evidence that William 1744, is the one who had a son James in 1764.

I see the records on family search both the same as on SP, I do not see a marriage on either site?

William Renwick Christening11 May 1744
Kirkton, Roxburghshire
Father's Name: William Renwick

Name: William Renwick
Wife: Janet Glendinning
Son: James Renwick
Christening 28 Oct 1764

There were 8 William Rennick/Renwick's born, 1700 - 1748, in Roxburghshire who would be of an age to be the father of James, however there were only 3 marriages 1718 - 1764 and only 1 more to 1778. So maybe that illustrates an issue?

Sorry I have not been able to help.

From my grandfather, James Renwick, born in Hawick in 1890 to William 1744 and Janet Glendinning and their son, James, have been easily found and documented.  However, I can’t be sure of the father of William and the other ancestors so for now so I’ll delete them for now, and I’ll keep their records and your suggestions.  I so appreciate your help and observations.  Thank you again.

I’m back!  I’ve been rechecking my ancestors, and I think there’s an error concerning the children of William Renwick 1744 and Janet Glendinning.  I don’t know if you have the time though?
