thanks very much

Ooops again......

Hi! Paula,
The Carswell family are from Kirkgunzeon Kirkcudbright
Isobel Corrie family she was the 8th born of 12 children.
Father Richard Corrie b 1780 farmer Killywhen Kirkgunzeon then Knocklae Balmaclellan and finally Maxwelltown Irongray.
most sites list Isobel as b at Killywhen Kirkcudbright Abt1819 but I found a Corrie site that lists her birth as Isobel Black Corrie b 20/2/1818 at Lawston Lochrutten which would be the grandparents place, Adam Corrie b 1749 d 30/1/1825 and Isabel(la) Black b 1749 d 6/10/1819
Hope this helps , I share a tree with a Paula it may be you
Ian

Hi Paula,
If you are still able to do scottish look ups I would be most grateful if you could find a death for Mary Newall Stevenson, her mother was Sarah Stevenson nee Newall but I think her father's name was Hugh Sharp.
Mary was born in Glasgow 23.5.1897, she is on the 1901 census with her mother and Hugh Sharp, any info on her would be appreciated.

Thank you
jean

hi sandra

will try for you do you know if they died in scotland or when they were born as at moment no marriage and have tried a few combinations of spelling of names

hi ian

godddd this is hard lol

i have 2 thomas carswells dying 1869 port glasgow dont think yours as there was thomas carswell born in glasgow about the same time as yours, the other died 1887 in north bute once again another thomas born same time in bute so not looking good on that part, the only other thomas carswell i have found dying in newabby died 22/3/1836 so may be related to your william carswell, the same goes for mary and isabella currie but i will keep persisting i love challenges and will contact you as soon as i know anything concrete

HI IAN

COULD YOU TELL ME WHERE THEY WERE BORN PLEASE

Hi! Paula,
It would be wonderful if you could locate Isobel(la) Carswell nee Corrie b 20/2/1818 m 12/2/1841 to William Carswell they had 3 children Thomas b 13/12/1841, Mary b 10/7/1843 and William b 12/9/1845. she was widowed on the death of William 8/8/1845, since then I cannot find anymore on Isobella, son Thomas last known 1851 census living Irongray with his grandmother Mary Corrie, of daughter Mary nothing known,son William d 1923 and is buried in Carlisle cemetery, they lived in New Abbey Kirkcudbright up to the time she was widowed
I need to know where Isobel(la) Thomas and Mary are buried so I can visit the graves and complete my search
Best wishes
Ian Carswell
