Kilmarnock - Murdock/Burns
« on: Thursday 24 April 08 10:03 BST (UK) »

Looking for any information on a John Murdock married Janet Burns 1875 Kilmaurs, had a daughter Agnes D. about 1878 Kilmarnock, have been unable to pick them up on a 1881 census.

Agnes married a William Brown 1899 Kilmarnock, had adaughter Janet shortly after.

Tried "scotlandspeople" but keep getting too many no matter how I tried.
