William Coubrough
|
The first evidence of the family in these papers is in a Disposition of 1719 of subjects “at the east end of the Back Row of Falkirk’’ in favour of William Cowburgh, drover in Falkirk.
The spelling of the name varies greatly – from Coubrough (the most common ) to Cowbrough and Cowburgh. In the titles of the Back Row subjects by the early 19th century the subjects were described as ‘"in the Kerse Lane". The 1831 Valuation Roll has two relevant entries, both in Falkirk Parish – 1.That part of Elrig possessed by H.Coubrough and 2.-Thomas Henderson’s Houses and Lands in the Town of Falkirk purchased from William Coubrough, part of Westquarter (most likely the subjects mentioned above ‘’at the east end of the Back Row’’) These subjects had been sold by William and Henry Coubrough in 1785. Love says (vol 1,p.319 ) that the Coubrough family was “well known and highly respected, residing for several generations in the Slamannan district”. William Coubrough of Elrig was a partner of the Falkirk Union Bank at the time of its formation and until its failure in 1818. Dr William Coubrough, (1787-1864) of whom Love writes in the reference quoted above, was probably his son. He is said to have been for 40 years ‘’in the service of Carron Company as medical officer to the miners at Kinnaird and several other pits’’. In 1816 Dr Coubrough married Margaret, daughter of Thomas Aitken, messenger, auctioneer and town drummer (see also records of James Coubrough in the Russel & Aitken collections). There is also reference to William Coubrough, merchant, Falkirk and John Coubrough, farmer, Thorn. William Coubrough of Elrig was noted as living with John Coubrough of Thorn following the failure of the Bank and they may have been brothers. |
