Scotlands People does not show any William McDowell (or other spelling) born anywhere in Scotland on 11/02/1649.

Where was he born?

thank you everyone for your help

Re what you say about other people giving you different parents' names for Patrick's parents -

the christening with parents William & Grissell is the only record that comes up on Ancestry and Scotlands People for a Patrick born/christened Edinburgh 1674

William & Grissell's marriage was posted on the other thread I gave the link for above.

Here it is again:

BETHON
GRISSELL
WILLIAM MCDOWALL/FR1018 (FR1018)
11/02/1669
685/1
440 105
Edinburgh

Credits on Scotlands People will let you view the record. Such old parish records often don't give any info re the parents of the groom or bride, but you might be lucky.

However, without knowing anything else about William (age, parents, birthplace), it may be impossible to find his birth.


This is a wildly outside chance for Grissell's christening:

BEATOUN
GRISSELL
ALEXANDER BEATOUN/MARJORIE KENNEDIE FR1364 (FR1364)
0
01/08/1647
685/1
50 210
Edinburgh

And an outside chance for William's christening - that's IF he was born in Edinburgh, but maybe he wasn't:

MCDOWEL
WILLIAME
ALEXANDER MCDOWEL/CATHARINE BROUN FR1411 (FR1411)
0

(apologies Joyce, but not got 'knowledge' for Scotland!, would say you need Archives!, AG probably a better one to advise!)

Thank you Chris & Argyllgran for the advice


I have been confused lately with william Mc b 1649 & Grissell Bethune being the correct parents as three other people gave me different parents

Now I need to know Williams parents if you would kindly help me please

This one??

We've researched this before. There's another thread on here somewhere with this info.


EDIT: Yes, here it is:
