General Notes

MARGARET CURRIE was born 03 June 1791 in Ochiltree, Ayrshire, Scotland and baptized in the parish church just two days later. She was the firstborn of shoemaker John Currie and his wife Margaret Beaumont (or Bowman).

On 11 April 1820, Margaret married her husband, David Haining, also a shoemaker. The marriage was registered in Margaret's home parish of Ochiltree, as well as David's parish in Sorn, Ayrshire, Scotland.  Perhaps David learned his trade from Margaret's father, and that is how they met. Or perhaps they were cousins of some sort, since David's mother was also a Currie.

Margaret and David had 5 known sons; if there were daughters, their births were not recorded in the local parish registers. Their oldest son, David, born in 1821, was actually born in Durrisdeer, Dumfriesshire, Scotland, but his birth was also recorded in their home parish of Ochiltree, which is where most of their children were born. After David came John, James, and William. Youngest son Robert was born in Tarbolton in 1835.  The family remained in Tarbolton for the rest of their days.

Her husband David died in Tarbolton on 11 December 1868 (the gravestone has the erroneous year 1869) and he was buried in the local churchyard. Just shy of two years later, Margaret died in Tarbolton on 01 November 1870 (it was the first of November, according to her death certificate, not the second, as the gravestone says). She also was buried in Tarbolton Churchyard.
