William McCormick ... [1]
An Agricultural Labourer
It has been suggested that William McCormick was born and married in Ireland but there is no Irish marriage record showing both spouses' names. McCormick was an established surname in Wigtownshire (& Scotland) prior to 1800 with 39 recorded births between 1700 & 1800 (150 recorded births in Scotland). There are 745 surviving records of George births in Scotland between 1700-1800, 4 of which were in Wigtownshire. It is reasonable to assume that both William and Anne were born and married in Scotland.
