Morning Irene - sorry for the late reply
u r 100% correct - in my excitement to post this I left out Francsis the 3rd of DORMONT
1575-1679 x unknown BELL babt 1598
Francsis is son of Christopher the 2nd of DORMONT babt 1544. Francsis had sons Walter of
WHITECROFT, George of BRYDEGILL etc.
On this data: C1-4 are all ''siblings'' (children of William in Sorrysick
ch: abt 1737) not a conventional way I wrote it -sorry
thanks for keeping me in check - look forward to any additional data on this family line
cheers & best rgds
Ian
c1) William in Sorrysick abt. 1752 - 1827 x Helen BELL
c2) Robert or William? x unknown born abt. 1745 in SORRYSICK
c3) James - christened 4 June 1773
c4) Christopher - christened 22 Dec. 1782
I believe - c2) Robert or William had at least two children :
c2a) Phillis CARRUTHERS 1775 - 1860 x James GOWANLOCH
c2b) James CARRUTHERS
b. 15th May 1791 - d. 2nd Nov. 1848 in Quarrelwood Kirkmahoe
James married Sarah McDONALD
b. 1794 Lochrutton d. 26 Oct 1864 in Dalswinton village
Hi Ian
Phillis Carruthers' parents should be given on her death certificate if she died in
1860.
The link from
Generation (2) Christopher 2nd of DORMONT babt. 1544 x Margaret JOHNSTOUN
Generation (3) George of BRYDEGILL & G babt. 1628
suggests a man of 86 fathering a child. Mmmmmm!! I don't think so <LOL>
Similarly with William of Sorrysick b 1708 - he's not likely to be the father of
Christopher born 1782.>Irene
