Thankyou ever so much for deciphering his records for me. I had problems reading half of it. Some of it seemed to blend in with other bits of writing.
Its looking like he was 'fostered' out then , I wonder who Elizabeth black is?? She's practically the same age so I'm guessing its not his sister. I'm unsure on why hes put older bro George as next of kin?? Ive been looking on scotlands people and there's a Mary Black aged 16 listed as a dairymaid in the 1881 census. I cant read though who that Mary is with but there's alot of children , nurse , and other farm servants. Want me to send the file?? |

I've looked at the Mary Black who is a milkmaid, but only the transcription. If you have the original, I'll take a look at it for you.
Don't give up hope on discovering who the father is. You never know what might turn up. My bets are on the kirk session records. |

Ive just checked Jane Kinsbrey on scotlands people. Its showing nobody with that name but Jane Stewart is. Unless the surname is spelt differently

This is the part of the household that was on the page of the 1881 that you sent me, Lorraine, but the rest of it would be on the previous page:

Quote:
Findmypast has their head of household as Jane Stewart, age 29. You would probably be best to do the search on Scotland's People for David as above and view the image to see what the correct details are for Jane. |

Kirkmabreck is near Wigton. Not too far from Gatehouse of Fleet.

Sorry, "Jane Kinsbrey" is ancestry's transcription for the 1891 but you sent me a 1901 census for a Jane Stewart. To find them in 1891, search the 1891 on Scotland's People for David Black age 3, county Kirkcudbright, district Crossmichael, and they will come up. FMP has the head's name as Jane Kinstrey.

So this is my transcription of the 1901:
1901 census Crossmichael Village Jane Stewart Head W 59(? age not clear) Formerly Dom Serv. Kirkcudbrightsh Crossmichael Elizabeth Black Boarder 15 Scholar Do Do David Do Do 14 Scholar Do Anwoth and this is the first part of that 1881 census with Mary Black as a dairymaid: Clachan, Girthon William McCourty Head Marr 61 Farmer 600 acres all arable employing 1 man 1 boy 3 women Kirkcudbrightsh Anwoth Agnes do Wife Mar 42 Farmer's Wife Do Do Cathrine Do Daur 15 Scholar Do Girthon Robert Do Son 14 Do Do Do. Jane Stewart and Jane Kinstrey might not be the same person. Maybe the children were boarded out with the parish (but which parish?) paying for them? |
