Find Ancestors

I am looking for birthdates and any ancestors for Robert Kirkpatrick and Janet Hunter of Dumfries who had the following children in Tynron:
Helen Welsh Kirkpatrick 1808
Thomas Kirkpatrick 1810
James Kilpatrick 1812
Adam Brown Kirkpatrick c 1820
John Hunter Kirkpatrick c 1830

thanks

Have you followed any of them through the census?

Looked on SP for any possible marriages or deaths?

Or looked on Familysearch?

Thank you Beverly. I have also found a listings for Robert Kirkpatrick and Janet Hunter born at Closeburn - found on family search. I know that the later Kirkpatricks in Australia had residences that they called 'Tynron' and 'Closeburn'.

How can I find out which Janet is the right one?

thanks, I will try looking at census info to see if they fit in with the right wife later. Robert was a very popular name!!!

If they followed the traditional Scottish naming pattern, his father would be Thomas and hers would be James. (the names of their first two sons).

On the tenuous basis that his age is right, he's in Dumfries-shire; his sister Helen's middle name is Welsh and there's a Catherine Welsh in this listing . . . this could perhaps be Adam in 1841:


1841 Scotland Census about Adam Kirkpatrick
Name: Adam Kirkpatrick
Age: 20
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1821
Gender: Male
Where born: Dumfriesshire, Scotland

Civil parish: Sanquhar

As shown in the 1851 census below, Catherine is the mother of Jean McCall. In view of Helen's middle name, there must be some family connection between Kirkpatricks and Welshes (though possibly not these particular Welshes!):
