Yes it is a pity about the Scottish census's not giving the relationship. I will have a look at the marriage when on go on Scotlandspeople next as I have a list of things to look at there. Fingers crossed it will reveal something.

Appreciate everyone's help - it has been very helpful.

You would be able to view the census on Scotlandspeople but it wouldn't be worth spending the money on credits as the 1841 census didn't give relationships to the head of the household.

EDIT

It may be worth looking at the original image of Margaret's marriage on Scotlandspeople as it may give her father's name. The information given on parish records varies from parish to parish. Some give more detail than others.

Thanks for the 1841 Census entry which I did have. I think this is Margaret's family but she is not at home in 1841. The reason I think there is an additional daughter missing in the census as the monumental inscription below stating 4th daughter. I think daughter Margaret is the one I am researching and she was staying at her Uncle William McClymont's house at Kelton Castle Douglas. Unfortunately I cannot view the census entry at findmypast to see if any other details on Margaret Rigg are written on the census. Would be helpful if it confirmed her as neice.

Monumental Inscriptions at Buittle Kirkyard
Inscription 222
Of your charity, pray for the souls of Thomas Rigg, formerly of Mid Kelton, who died at Dumfries, 2 Jan. 1853, aged 75 years. Of Mary Webster, his wife, who died at Dumfries, 25 April 1866, aged 68 years. Of Mary, their fourth daughter, who died at Dalbeattie, 16th October 1894, aged 68 years.

Yes I mistyped the wedding date and edited it for future reference. Now the auto alert is working. It is Watch this so that alerts are sent. Is that what you are talking about ?

Pittsy

I see that you added info about the marriage to your original message after I'd queried your dates, and posted the correct details.

Where is 'auto alert' on here?

If such a facility exists, I've never seen it

Ellieathome

I have not posted this before.

Thanks

Pittsy

Thanks everyone - I thought I had this post on auto alert but did not get any. Heaps of information here which is very helpful and I will need to sort through it all. I am sure she is a relative but have not been able to find her parents. It is possible with the naming of her first child that she is the daughter of Thomas Rigg B1789 Kirkcudbright and Mary Webster B1785 Buittle. They married 1816 Kirkcudbright. Looks like I will need to go Scotspeople again to see what comes up there.

Thanks

Following Scotlands naming pattern ,Mary would be Margarets Mothers name.

Nothing obvious on the IGI for her baptism - so, it looks like you'll need to use Scotlands people site, which is pay-to-view
