The Liverpool Kirkpatricks who were carpet manufacturers are in our family tree, Thomas marrying Margery I’Anson.

These have been traced back James (b 1722 in Kirkmichael) and Isabella Wilson(1726 in Kirkmichael)

I have not been able to establish any further ancestors or siblings of James K. Kirkmichael was also the birth place for the Kirkpatricks who were the forefathers of the Empress Eugenie. If anybody can provide further information, I would be grateful.

Hi Grahame

Your Kirkpatricks weren’t the floor covering manufacturers in Liverpool, born Bampton in Westmorland, descended from James and Isabella from Dumfries were they?

Thanks Grahame! I think I remember reading something similar once but haven’t had time to work on my genealogy lately. Nice to hear from you. Where “across the pond” are you?

Hi James. That is so interesting – I had never heard of the Paisley connection before.

The Watties Neach debate is not over. When I was looking at the area around Dublin, where some of my (our?) ancestors apparently went before they came over, I see some places called “Watty” this and that. Maybe it was a word or a name that was in use at that time, after all? It begs more research, that’s for sure – wish I had the time for it. Thanks for writing, James!

Although my Kirkpatrick forebears are credited as coming from “Watties Neach,” they claimed to have come from Paisley. My patronimic line includes: Andrew Kirkpatrick (Scotland 1720-New Jersey 1777), Alexander Kirkpatrick (New Jersey 1741-Tennesse 1825), Samuel Kirkpatrick (New Jersey 1766-North Carolina 1829)(a son was named Paisley Kirkpatrick), Hugh Kirkpatrick (North Carolina 1803-1883), Samuel Paisley Kirkpatrick (North Carolina 1832-1911).

Hi Mike. I’ll have to look up those sites. I’m afraid I haven’t had the time I’d like to do research these days. Thanks for the tips, though!

Hello again.
Last time I emailed you was 20 march ,2009, which message is still on your site.
You must surely by now have been on thescottishnation.com or
electricsscotland.com, which seem to be connected to each other somehow (computers and the internet are, and I suspect always will be, a mystery to me) and which provide a long, detailed history of your – and my – clan Kirkpatrick. My maternal grandfather, Harold Guy Kirkpatrick Richardson,was the son of Harold Slingsby Duncombe Richardson and Florence Margaret Kirkpatrick.
Again, lots of luck.
Cheers,
Mike St.George

Wow – that’s fabulous information, Wallace. I’m going to check that link and I think I have the History of Dumfries somewhere… Thanks bunches! :)
