Trying to trace origins of my 4 x great grandparents Peter and Mary Ann Court. Both born Ireland, county not known (likely Northern Ireland) - Peter born c.1784, Mary Ann born c.1790. Probably married in Ireland before 1810. Moved to Mochram, Wigtown, Scotland - birth records found for six children: Mary 1810, William 1812, John 1814, Peter 1816, Robert 1818 (my 3 x great grandfather), Margaret 1820. 1851 Scottish census shows records for Peter (farmer of 29 acres) and Mary Ann in Kildarroch, Wigtown, living with unmarried son Peter. Married son William (draper/tailor) lived in Kirkcowan, Wigtown. My ancestor Robert moved to Dorset, England sometime before 1846 - he was also a draper, then leather dealer. Would welcome any info especially re Irish origins etc.
