Is there anywhere that lists the burials in the Kirkcudbrightshire area of Scotland as I have come to a brick wall with one part of my family tree for a Robert Allan surgeon I have found him in Crocketford and Dalry but cannot find him after 1851. I am trying to find out how I can find his burial in the Kirkcudbrightshire area of Scotland. He married a Margaret Corrie.


Thank you for your help
:-D

Lorna...It may be an idea to list "all" the info.re Robert and Margaret (Rootschat June 2011) on here as it may be possible to link Margarets death (Manchester) and her ? burial Scotland to Roberts'....
Was she already a Widow when she moved to Manchester...?

Dumfries Family History Society have booklets listing Memorial Inscriptions for burial grounds in Kirkcudbrightshire - Google it.

Hi
The person I am looking for is the Robert Allan in the 1851 census. Margaret was a widow living in Maxwell Kirkcudbrightshire with the rest of her family and disappears from the English census in 1881 in Manchester.

I did message the Dumfries history society but it seem's that I had to join before I could get the booklet maybe I misunderstood and will try again.

According to the 1851 Census for Troqueer, Market Square

Margaret Allan age 41 b Kirkbean Pauper wife of Surgeon
John 15 b Kirkpatrick Durham
Elizabeth 13 b Rerrick
Mary 11 b Urr
Agnes 9 b Urr
Robert 6 b Kirkpatrick Durham
Robert Allan, 37, surgeon educated at Glasgow University b. Sarn (?Sorn) Ayrshire
Address: Back Street, Dalry

You are right that Robert is the surgeon in Dalry not living with his family. I know that margaret lived with her family after 1861 and moved to Manchester after her mother died to be with her son Robert and daughter mary. I cannot find what happened to her other children either

I have contacted the University but they have 3 Robert Allan's whom qualifield at that time but none of then born in Sorn (Sarn).

I believe that Margaret was buried back in Scotland with her husband but nobody knows where the grave is.

I thank you so much for your help Lorna

Thank you
