Data

Parish records for Wigtonshire are commonly cited to show that an Alexander Walker married a Janat Cowan in Wigton, 15 June 1710. Christening records show three subsequent births for this couple:

Helen Walker, 16 September 1711
John Walker, 14 April 1714
Alexander Walker, 1 September 1716

The above individuals are commonly identified with the following persons:

"Sawney" Alexander Walker
"Gunstocker" John Walker
Eleanor Walker

These identifications seem to be largely consistent with the available information. Some accept them as proven, others are not yet satisfied.
