The following marriage was found to
have been recorded in the old "Saturday 13th August 1757 John Grier in this parish and Janet McMonnies in Tongland gave in their names in order to proclamation and were wedded at Dunjop on Thursday 25 August by Mr. Alexander Brown." The farm property Dunjop still exists, about 3km West of Bridge of Dee, near Castle Douglas (ref Bartholomew National Map #37 1:100,000). Presumably the proclamation was given in the parish of Parton while the actual marriage took place at the farm in Tongland. In the IGI, there is an additional mention of the marriage of John Grier and Sarah McMonnies (sic) on 25 Aug 1757 at New Abbey, Kircudbright. The parish register (roll 1068033) for New Abbey was searched for this record, but no mention was found, so it is assumed to be a clerical error. |
