Kirkmichael Church Yard

Post by StuartC » Mon Jun 06, 2011 1:53 pm

Does anyone know where Kirkmichael Church yard is located ?
I have found a few Kirkmichael Parishes and Church Yards but have
not been able to get any information.

The one I am looking for had an Assistant minister called Hugh Dobie living
at the Manse of Kirkmichael Parish 12 March 1834

I have a relative burried there 24 August 1833 for whom I am looking for additional
info in the Parish records.

Any help much appreciated

Regards
StuartC

  • Kirkmichael, Dumfries-shire
  • Kirkmichael, Perthshire

According to the "Fasti Ecclesiae" Hugh Dobie was ordained by the Presbytery of Lochmaben and was assistant to the previous minister, so it's the Dumfries & Galloway Kirkmichael you want.

Hi Andrew and Isabel H

Looks like Hugh Dobie ended up as the Minister for the Kirkmichael Church/Parish and
wrote the record of accounts for 1834.

Also there are references to the name I am looking for in the Monumental Inscriptions
for the Kirkmichael and Garrell Church yards

Thanks for the help
Regards
StuartC

You may be aware of this already but there are some Dumfries Kirk Session indexes online at http://www.dgcommunity.net/historicalin ... ssion.aspx
