If you want to find out the names of the 15 Sturgeons from 1585 that I mentioned in the article then go to rps.ac.uk and search ‘Sturgeon’ in the Search Box (use Translation option). Then select the reference from 1585. I believe all of these people fought for Lord Maxwell in his raid on Stirling Castle. Most were tenants on his Dumfriesshire lands.

So far I’ve traced back to Robert sturgeon born 1610, but I can’t find much past that.
Robert sturgeon born 1610
Before him was Samuel sturgeon born 1655 and he was married to Margaret Bell born 1651. I hope anyone that knows anymore about them could see this.

Their son James Robert disappeared after his christening. They proceeded to have 3 more children in Dailly – William, Mary and Ann. Their last child born Jan 1, 1855 was the first entry in the Dailly civil registration of births.
Of all 10 children, 9 survived to adulthood, married, and had children. Descendants exist today from 8 of the children.
