Dashwood House, Newton Stewart My 4G grandfather, James Milroy and his wife Elizabeth McGill lived at Dashwood House, Newton Stewart, Wigtownshire, Scotland from when they purchased it in 1879 until the death of Elizabeth in 1895.

Kelly - William Milroy Kelly - was the son of James and Elizabeth Milroy's daughter Elizabeth who had married Captain William Kelly, a Master Mariner.
