McCONVILLE, John
- Born: 4 Jan 1871, Carnwath, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Another name for John was McCONVILL, John.
General Notes:
John was the youngest of the children of John McConvill and Ann Hynd living at 161 Haywood Village in the parish of Carnwath, as recorded by the 1871 census. He was 3 months old and had been born in Carnwath.
John married John McCAFFREY, son of Charles McCAFFERTY and Sarah QUIGLEY.1 (John McCAFFREY was born on 19 May 1860 in New Monkland, Lanarkshire, Scotland 2.)
Marriage Notes:
"Catherine Gordon succeeded her father under the provisions of the entail executed in 1740. She had married Captain the Hon. George Sempill, 2nd son of Hugh, 11th Lord Sempill, and uncle of the Hon. Sarah Sempill who married Sir William Forbes of Craigievar. (Douglas and Wood's Peerage.)
Her services run as follows : -
'Catherine Gordon of Wardhouse, wife of the Hon. Capt. G. Sempill, to her father Arthur G. of Wardhouse, h. of taillie and prov. Gen., S.H., 14 Feb. 1761,' and 'Catherine Gordon of Wardhouse, wife of Capt. G. (Gordon) Sempill to her father, Arthur of Wardhonse ; heirs general 28 Sept., Regd. 30 Sept. 1761.'
She had either no family, or at anyrate, left no surviving male issue, and it will be seen from the services of her successor that she lived but a short time after her succession, as she died on 5 February 1762 ; when, under the entail, the estate of Wardhouse went to the male descendant of Mary Gordon, only daughter of the entailer, viz., Catherine's cousin, Alexander Gordon IX. of Beldornie, who became IV. of Wardhouse also"
