Miller Family of Halkirk Village

:roll:

Hi I am new to this and I am interested in the Miller family of Halkirk Village, I have traced my family back to late 1700 where William Miller married Katherine Elder in 1791, they had a son James born abt 1802 in Halkirk and who married Isabella Bain on the 21st February 1822.

I have presented an earlier post on the Miller/Budden line, but not sure how good that information was, however I am now on track and that leads me to Halkirk Village.

If anyone has any information that may be of assistance it would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Graham

Hello Graham. I had a quick look at FREECEN and have found your James in 1851, 1861,1871,1881 census in Halkirk. 1851 he was a farmer in Harpsdale ED 3/6/21, 1861 in Houstry ED3B/1/5, 1871 a widower in Bridge St Halkirk ED1/13/100 and same abode in 1881 ED1/2/13.

I have also found the following in the MMI. Jas Miller, shoemaker 27.5.1882, 80, w Isa Bain 31.5.1868 70, ss Robt 6th Dragoon Guards Aldershot 14.5.1871 32, Jas Mariner drowned off Port Stephens New South Wales 18.10.1881 50.

Hello Graham
I wonder if this is my fathers family, I have not done a lot of research into it yet, apart from what my father told me. his grandfather was Donald Miller, wife Williamina Campbell , and he lived at Black Park, as my grandfathers birth certificate states this , my grandfather David Miller was born there 1899, he had two brothers William and Frank and a sister who we cant remember her name. My father was born in halkirk villiage and he told me his grandfather is buried in Dunn cemetry in an unmarked grave. I have more info at home on holiday at present.

hi there,
James miller would be my 3rd great grandfather. I'm on ancestry.com and working through the lines. I hadn't got as far back as his parents yet so maybe theres info we can share
