Back: Mr Wright, Marscalloch, 1953
'That dark wood was cut down, and now forest trees on 3 sides of us (15 years old). I think spruce and larch and just as nice when larch sheds its leaves, they turn a beautiful russet brown, the lovely firs and spruce are all intermingled with the larch. This was Marscalloch 30 years ago before the dam filled up the valley. No hayshed now, I hear it was burned down. Hydro electric board made this dam, and it's a never-ending joy to me. I love watching the ducks etc on water.' -

Affleck / Cameron Family Histories
There are two family trees included here. One starts when James Affleck married Agnes Chapman at Crawfordjohn in 1791 and follows the line through Agnes Affleck, the daughter of James Affleck and Janet Murdoch. The second follows other descendants of James and Janet.
The family were leadminers at Woodhead sometime after 1843 and as is so often the case one of their daughters, Helen married their lodger, fellow miner Alexander Cameron.
The National Archives of Scotland holds papers in the case of Mr Robert Affleck, minister at Carsphairn 1780 — 1783. Interestingly he is not included in the Fasti (list of ministers) at Carsphairn so we must do some more investigating. -
-
Bone/Mitchel Family Histories
Both these families were related to the Hastie family and it is again thanks to Megan Hastie for her research.
Their history focuses on the story of families who moved around for work with the aim of gaining a better life. They came to Carsphairn from Wanlockhead and Leadhills where they had been leadminers and from Carsphairn they left to work in the new industries in Ayrshire associated with the nineteenth century industrial revolution or they moved to the New World where mining work was easily available.
These notes on the two families inevitably overlap with those about the Hastie and McDonald families such was the extent of marriage amongst the closely knit mining communities which, after all, in Scotland were situated in very remote, isolated settlements. Children who grew up together at the leadmines later married.
Those highlighted in the notes spent some time at the Woodhead leadmine. John Bone died in an accident at the leadmines and the account of his death in the Dumfries Standard is displayed on the board which relates to the leadmine. He is buried in Carsphairn Kirkyard. -
Garmory/Clement/Montgomery Family Histories
The information on this family starts with Robert Germerie who married Isobel Wilson in 1758. Some of the information focuses on Fergus Clement highlighted on the family tree who emigrated to Australia. The fascinating story of his descendants together with some photographs is included.
Some Garmory descendants are also detailed, together with Montgomery and Foster family details.
Robert Montgomery is buried in Carsphairn Kirkyard with his wife and five sons and daughters. -
Gilchrist Family History
The descendants of William Gilchrist (1789 — 1851) are noted. His son Robert, whose marriage certificate is included went to Breconshire in South Wales to work for John McTurk’s family who owned a large estate there. William’s daughter Janet’s marriage certificate (1861) is also included. William is buried in Carsphairn Kirkyard in grave 177.
There was marriage between the Gilchrist family with the McFadzean, McCall (McCaul), Good and Clement families.
The obituary is for David Gilchrist, William’s nephew who died in Carsphairn in 1906 He is buried in Carsphairn in grave 186. -
Good Family History
The Good family were in Carsphairn as far back as 1714.
There are three separate family trees for Thomas Good (1755), Adam Good (1813) and William Gilchrist and Margaret Good.
There is intermarriage between the Good family, the Hope, Hunter and Gilchrist families. Particular reference is given to James Good who lived in Shotts in Lanarkshire. Included are several OPR birth extracts, marriage and death registrations and census returns. -
Guffie/McGuffie Family History
This rich collection of material about this family comes mainly from Australian sources which is hardly surprising given that eight of the nine children who reached maturity went to either Australia or New Zealand.
Their father who was a carter in Carsphairn was a widower for 21 years and kept in close touch with his family on the other side of the world. His children who died before him are named on his gravestone in Carsphairn Kirkyard. He took the care to name where they had died thus giving us an insight into how and where they died - seeking their fortune in the frenzy to find gold.
Included here are birth, marriage and death certificates taken from the Carsphairn registers — births in 1862, marriages in 1865, 1890 and 1916 and deaths in 1866, 1867, 1868, 1871, 1885, 1887 and 1899. Each certificate has several different names on it covering other families so if you are looking for records in those years these might help. -
Hastie Family History
Megan Hastie has done some superb research into her ancestors who worked at the Woodhead leadmine. Her Hastie family came there near the beginning of the lead mining operations in 1839 and they were joined by many of their friends and relatives, also lead mining families from the Wanlockhead and Leadhills area.
At Woodhead they lived and worked together and in several cases there was intermarriage. After a relatively short period of time the prosperity of the leadmines declined and around 1852 many of the miners and their families left. Some of them together with their relatives from the McDonalds, Mitchell, Whitfield and Bone families went to Dalmellington and other parts of Ayrshire to seek better times in the coalfields or in the ironworks. Other members of the same families chose to emigrate, many to Pittston in Pennsylvania.
Megan has researched many of these families and we are most grateful to her for sharing her work with us.
In these notes about John Gladstone Hastie the following families are noted:-
Whitfield.
McDonald.
McMurtrie
Gladstone
Martin.
Williamson
Dobie

Hunter Family History
The papers here are extracted from the Old Parish Registers, census records from 1841 to 1901and marriage and death registrations. Details of the descendants of James Hunter and his wife Isabella McCartney are included.
There was a lot of intermarriage between families in the community and from these papers the names Good and McFadzien/McFadzean are connected to the Hunter families. -
Jamieson Family History
Jamieson letters.
1,400 letters are stored in the family office at the farm in Western Victoria. These come mainly from members of the family in Scotland to Robert and William, the two brothers who went to Australia.
These letters have been read and catalogued and the reader paid respect to the authors with the following words
“None of the people who wrote the letters probably ever expected them to last more than a few weeks after their receipt and certainly for not more than a hundred years and so at times it almost seems unfair to the long ago writers to “look over their shoulders” and, as it were, take them at a disadvantage. However there now exists of many of these people, little that is now recognisable except what is contained in these letters ..... .. ”
Those on display here have been transcribed and show a lively insight into country life in South West Scotland from the early 18403. Farming prices are of great interest, the concept and impact of the railways are mentioned and family gossip prevails in the letters from the sisters.
To us it is a privilege to read these letters for they give us a first hand snapshot of what life was like here in Carsphaim and in Scotland in the middle of the nineteenth century. -
Martin Family History
This family who lived at the Mine spread themselves far and wide. Alexander Martin 1808-1871 married Christina Park 1798-1867 a woman ten years older than himself.
Out of their 11 children the first two died in infancy, the first being born when her mother was 30 years of age. Another died in childhood but they brought up eight children — four boys and four girls. William died of consumption at Woodhead in 1863 aged 23 and is buried in his mother’s grave no. 135 in Carsphairn Churchyard.
In about 1853 four of them, three boys and a girl emigrated to America and their time at Pittston Pa. is mentioned in the history of the lead mining families who went there. Alexander senior followed his family to Pittston after his wife Christina died in 1867. He died there in 1871 but is recorded on the grave of his wife in Carsphairn Churchyard. (No 135)
Much of what we know about those who went to America is on the display boards and from those who remained here it is their oldest daughter Mary 1834-1916, who gave this area the largest legacy out of all this family. No less than eight different local families can trace their roots back to Alexander and Christina Martin.
Another daughter Grace married Archibald McGill — that information is in a separate folder -
McCall Family History
The descendants of Alexander MacCaul and Margaret Williamson are given here with a focus on Margaret McCall, their granddaughter who married William Lammie. Their descendants are listed.
Birth, marriage and death registrations of Thomas, Alexander's son, his marriage to his first wife Violet Yule and second wife Elizabeth Gilchrist are included as are the birth and sadly, in two cases, the early deaths of two of his children. Census records are also here.
Thomas first worked as a leadminer at Woodhead but later moved to Benquhat near Dalmellington to work as an ironminer and on his death certificate in 1907 he was a coalminer.
-
McCormick Family History
This information on the McCormick family is primarily a collection of gravestone inscriptions in Carsphairn Kirkyard together with some 1871 census extracts from the Glenkens parishes with correspondence regarding missing links in the family tree.
-
McDonald Family History
Within our card index containing records of the leadminers there are 17 McDonalds whose lives are linked with the Mitchell, Bone and Hastie families. Again Megan Hastie has kindly allowed us to use her research notes.
Within these the name Sophia appears in successive generations — not a common name in Scotland but it does help us track successive generations.
The deaths of several small children are noted and from other records we have found out the causes of their death. Poignantly in Carsphairn Kirkyard there is the following sad epitaph.
"Erected by Jean and Alexander McDonald in memory of their children as follows:
William, 12th December 1854, aged 5
Thomas, 19th December 1854, aged 13
Margaret, .. ..August 1857 aged 13
William, 12th December 1861, aged 5
Jesus said Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not as such is the Kingdom of Heaven."
-
McGill Family History
Three generations of the McGill family lived in Carsphairn from before 1841 until after 1881 but not a great deal is known about them and we would welcome more information.
Thomas McGill, his wife Mary Douglas and son Archibald are all buried in Carsphairn Kirkyard (number 153 shown on kirkyard map).
Archibald McGill, born in 1818, married Grace Martin whose family lived at the leadmine. Grace's family is well documented in another folder and on the boards. His sister Sarah married a leadminer.
-
McTaggart Family History
James McTaggart was born in Carsphairn but probably left as a young man as he married in the parish of Tynron in 1839. From then the family moved to Ayrshire and most of these records relate to the parish of Barr. The Laing family is also included here. -
Milroy Family History
Peter Milroy and his wife and nine children came to the village when he was appointed as policeman in the early1890s. The family played a big part in village life for the next 30 years or so.
Some of the boys were very keen sportsmen as they took part in carpet bowling tournaments, cricket and sports days as is seen in the extracts from the local newspapers. In the family trees there are connections to other parish families, the McCraes and the Bells.
The family belonged to the United Free Church opened in the village in 1893 and there is a photograph of the opening ceremony in which several members of the family are identified as well as ones of other family members.
There is a family grave in the Kirkyard. The inscription and site of the grave can be found from looking the catalogue and plan of gravestones in Carsphairn Kirkyard which is available here. -

Park Family History
These papers chronicle the story of Richard Park whose connection with Carsphairn was probably relatively shortlived but it is a fascinating story of upward mobility in Victorian times in the Glasgow area.
Richard is in the Woodhead leadmine census of 1841 as being aged 11 and living there with his parents, John, an overseer, his mother and two older brothers oth leadminers. There is also included a certificate for the marriage of James Park to Marion Ferguson on 24 August 1860 and a copy of their son Adam's birth certificate on 11 September 1860. A relationship between James Park and Richard Park has not been established so far. Another Park was Christina who married Alexander Martin. More details about her are included in the Martin Family History.
-
Weir/Paterson Family History
Details of the nine children of James Weir and Ann Menzies including intermarriage with the Paterson family can be found here. Three of the nine children went to America and one, Robert fought in the Civil War.
The Weir family originally came from Leadhills. Extracts from the 1841 and 1851 Leadhills census are included. In 1851 James Weir and his family lived at the Woodhead leadmine in the row of houses known as Weirs Row.
