• Notes

  The baptism for James McCluskey on July 11 1837 at Saint Andrew's Catholic Church, Newcastle upon Tyne records his mother as Ann McHenry. The Birth Registration for Mary Ann McCluskey records her mother as Nancy formerly McKinry. James McCluskey was the informant and signed with his mark indicating he was unable to write. The baptism for Mary Ann McCluskey on April 20 1840 at Saint Andrew's Catholic Church, Newcastle upon Tyne records her mother as Ann McHenry. The Birth Registration for Hugh McCluskey records his mother as Ann formerly McHenry. Ann McCluskey was the informant and signed with her mark indicating she was unable to write. The Birth Registration for Sarah McCluskey records her mother as Ann formerly McHenry. James McCluskey was the informant and signed with his mark indicating he was unable to write. As neither James nor Ann could write, it is likely they were also unable to read Ann's maiden surname as recorded on these Birth Registrations. "McKinry" and "McHenry" sound alike. As "McKinry" is recorded once and "McHenry" several times, it is reasonable to conclude McHenry is Ann's maiden surname. From Rev. John McMillan, Minister, New Statistical Account, Blackwood in 1843: "The parish consists of three ancient parishes, namely, Kirkcudbright, Galtway, and Dunrod; Kirkcudbright lies in the north, Galtway in the centre, and Dunrod on the south. The two latter parishes were annexed to Kirkcudbright about the year 1683, but their church-yards, which are still used, retain the ancient appellations of Galtway and Dunrod church-yards. ...It is bounded on the north by the parishes of Kelton and Rerwick; on the east, by Rerwick; on the south, by the Solway Firth; and on the west, by Borgue, Twynholm, and Tongland, the centre of the river Dee forming this boundary line till it passes St. Mary's Isle... The only town in the parish is Kirkcudbright. ...a weekly market is held every Friday, but is not well attended. At one time, more foreign trade was carried on by the burgh than at present... ...From the parish of Kirkcudbright are regularly exported, corn, potatoes, meal, wool, turnips, beans, blackcattle, sheep, salmon, grass-seed, timber, staves... The means of communication which the parish enjoys are excellent. Two commodious steam-boats sail regularly from Kirkcudbright to Liverpool, once in the week in the summer, and once in the fortnight in the winter. Two coaches visit Kirkcudbright daily from Dumfries... Formerly, Kirkcudbright was celebrated for its manufacture of gloves, and more recently, of boots and shoes. One firm in the town, a few years ago, generally employed no fewer than 24 men, and shoes were sent to a great distance. There were at one time, though on a small scale, manufactories of soap, candles, and leather; and kelp was frequenty made upon the shores... ...there are six incorporated trades, namely, the Squareman, 36 members; Tailors, 13; Weavers, 22; Hammerman, 13; Clothiers, 20; Shoemakers, 17; total number of members, 121.
