Thread: Miller Family of Halkirk Village

  1. #1

    Default Miller Family of Halkirk Village



    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

    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.
