from Kirkcowan and never properly bottomed it out!

Sorry Bev., I should have added '......of the coincidence'! Perhaps this is another generation back? Too much of a coincidence then, eh?

Hi Bev.,
Do a 'fuzzy match' for James Douglas on SP and let me know what you think.
A bit rushed and sorry for delay in replying to your last.

Hi Bev.,
Also hit (with hope) on James and Isabella which gives a birth for their James as 04.12.1808, at Garlieston, but shelved it in the event something more 'concrete' may turn up.
Given James was married at Sorbie on 03.06.1834, and that his two sons, John born c1835, and William 15.06.1839, I have been searching for a death date for James on, or after, 1855. Although there are many entries, they most unusually fail to provide the mothers name, suggesting the possibility that she may have died prior to James.
Do you happen to know who her sister, Janet, married?
Will keep on this as time permits but please continue to send your findings/thoughts.
Bob.
