>I am seeking the marriage of Agnes McKEAN (the reported spelling) to one
William Robert HANNAY from about 1790 to 1800 in the Galloway region (or
Gatehouse of Fleet, Kirkcudbright).
>
>This marriage was not popular with his family by all accounts, so they may
have scooted off elsewhere for the occasion
>
>They are reported to have had offspring.....
>James, Ann, Janet,?, whom I believe I may have found in early 1800 in
Ballantrae, Ayrshire.
>If anyone has any interest or useful leads, I may well be able to supply
some more details to their advantage.
>
>Incidently James, said to be a Farmer at Ballig, Nr. Ballantrae,Ayrshire,
later did the disappearing ancestor trick leaving behind kin - I think my
next step must be transportation and the convict ships. He was a bit of a
rogue according to family stories.
>Can anyone tell me anything about Ballig farm?
>Was it part of Lord Inchcape's Glenapp Estate?
>
>Oh, a sudden thought - where would a couple, intent on a clandestine
marriage, be likely to go to from Kircudbrightshire - Ireland? Out of
Stranraer perhaps?
>
