Researching COMLINE, CARNAHAN and HANNAY in the Kelton area of
Kirkcudbrightshire
Peter COMLINE b. C 1758, d. 19 Feb 1837 married Mary CARNAHAN born C 1753,
d. 30
Sep 1847, both buried at Gelston cemetery. I can't find a birth for Mary
Carnahan or a marriage record.
Children Jane b. C1785 at Kelton and David b. C1795
David married Christina ALLEN before 1817 and they had 7 known children, all
born at Kelton. David, his mother Mary nee Carnahan and his family are
listed on the 1841
census at Gelston village. His occupation was a Grain Dealer ( retired)
Children:
William 1817 m. Jane Thomson before 1840, Children: Peter, James, Mary
Jane, Isabella, Christina Allen, William, David, George and John
Mary 1819 m James COWDEN, child Christian Comline Cowden
James 1822
Peter 1824
Nathan(ial) 1827
John 1829 married Jessie Thomson CHRISTIE in 1860 at Gelston, had 6
known children
Ann 1831
Jane Comline never married but had a son William b. C1811 who was always
known as William HANNAY. I have no idea who his father was but the name
Hannay was carried forward to later generations. William was my g.g
grandfather.
I would love to hear from anyone researching these names.
