Message Board Post:
I am interested in obtaining information about the family of Janet Anderson (daughter of
Robert Anderson and Marion Lorimer). Marion was the daughter of Robert Lorimer and Janet
Weir, of Kirkconnel parish, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. She was born in approx. 1775 and
married Robert Anderson of Kirkconnel parish. Their children were Janet
(approx.1802-1870), Sarah(approx.1803-1872) and Robert Anderson (approx. 1805/6-1870).
Janet Anderson married John Carmichael (approx.1798-1860), raised a family (Marion;
Robert; William; Margaret; Robert; David; Jannet) and lived in Kirkconnel village. I have
no further information on their daughters Marion, Margaret or Jannet, except that I think
they married and lived in Kirkconnel village. The first Robert Carmichael died as a baby,
the second, born 1833 died in 1857. David died at age 6 months. William married but his
wife died at a young age. Margaret may not have married, on 1841 & 1851 census was
with her aunt Sarah Anderson.
Robert married Janet Lorrimer/Lorimer (approx.1821-1872), raised a family (Marion; Mary;
Robert; Sarah) and lived in Kirkconnel village.
Sarah does not appear to have married. All census records show her as unmarried and her
name is on her parent's headstone in Kirkconnel churchyard.
At this time I am in contact with a descendant of Robert & Marion's son Robert but
I really need a lot more information on the Carmichael branch and on Robert Anderson &
Janet Lorimer's family.
Please contact me directly at

OR by mail C/O Richard Finney, 33 St. Louis Road, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R2M 3J4, Canada.
I have lots of old pictures I am trying to identify and have done lots of research.
