     William Blackwood was a Master Bleacher. He was born circa 1751 at Scotland. He was given as age 90 in the 1841 census at Strathblane, Stirlingshire, born Out of County. Due to rounding down in the 1841 census, his age could have been anything up to 94.
Of all the William Blackwoods in church records from around that time, a strong, but not proven, contender would be the William Blackwood baptised 20 October 1751, at Renfrew, to James Blackwood and Jean Brisbane. He married Agnes(Janet) Whyte on 5 February 1779 at New Kilpatrick and Inchinnan, Scotland. The marriage banns were read in Inchinnan on 22 January 1779, and in New Kilpatrick on 23 January 1779. The New Kilpatrick OPR entry states they were married on 5 February 1779.
The OPR entries state that William was of the Parish of New Kilpatrick, and Agnes was of the Parish of Inchinnan. William Blackwood died on 28 January 1846 at Craigton, New Kilpatrick, Dunbarton, Scotland. The following is paraphrased from John Guthrie Smith's book "The Parish of Strathblane and its inhabitants from early times":
"In 1781, William Blackwood, who had been a bleacher at Dalsholm, erected a bleachworks on the Allander at Craigallian. For some time he was in a partnership with David Dunlop. In 1801 he took on his son John as a partner, as William Blackwood & Son.
The business prospered. In 1841, with Craigallian being too small, they moved to the more extensive works at Craigton, East Kilpatrick, which was vacant, and continued to turn out the same good work.
The Blackwoods were the first and last at Craigallian."
After moving to Craigton, the business expanded and the Blackwoods continued there until the early 1900's.

     Agnes(Janet) Whyte was born circa 1755 The date and place of Agnes's birth is not known. One possibility, but not proven, is an Agnes White baptised at Inchinnan on 14 December 1759, to parents Matthew White and Janet Storie. This would make her 19 if it was she who married William.
Please note that my use of Agnes(Janet) for her first name comes fom her being referred to as Janet on the baptism records for her last two children. i have had no reason to find that this is a different person. She married William Blackwood on 5 February 1779 at New Kilpatrick and Inchinnan, Scotland. The marriage banns were read in Inchinnan on 22 January 1779, and in New Kilpatrick on 23 January 1779. The New Kilpatrick OPR entry states they were married on 5 February 1779.
The OPR entries state that William was of the Parish of New Kilpatrick, and Agnes was of the Parish of Inchinnan. Agnes(Janet) Whyte died before 1841 The date and place of Agnes's death is not known. Please note that this is not the Janet Blackwood (ms White) who died at Leith South in 1832, married to a William Blackwood. She is listed as being "relict off", in other words a widow. Our William died in 1846. Users of Ancestry.com please note and correct your records where appropriate.
