Hello LL & Monica,

Oh my gosh, so much information. That's amazing. I've been away from my computer for 2 days, being a long weekend in New Zealand. I am obsolutely amazed at what you have found. I will go and sit down and read over your replies more fully. Thank you both so much.

Hello Monica & L L,

The Ayr Adverstiser seems to be a great source of information. I would be interest to look at it, can it be accessed online or who would I contact for a hard copy?

For your information Grace Hardie is my great, great grandmother who emmigrated to New Zealand on the ship The Armstrong, arriving in NZ 18 Feb 1865, with her husband Charlie McMaster, her baby Charles & Robert Hardie (presumably Grace's brother).

Thank you both once again for the time & work you have given to my family research.

Hi Christine,

The East Ayrshire Family History Society is a really good start as a contact.  They have many publications that you can purchase as well as access to the AA and have been really good doing lookups for me as I have no access directly to the indexes or Fiche being in Canada myself.

The Dick Institue has also started to index many of the old papers from the area and to access look ups you can contact the Baird Institute

Community Librarian (Heritage Services)

Is there any more help you require on your tree?

Hi L L,

I don't need any more help on my family tree at the moment. I feel I have enough information now, with new leads to follow-up. Thanks

Hi L L,

Yes and 1841 census revealed some very interesting results shows Grace & Robert Hardie with Gabriel Douglas only 4 households away.

If you even need any information from New Zealand let me know.

Thanks. Goodbye

I haven't worked out who these Douglas people are? A different Gabriel to Gabriel 1784? See below  Shocked

This looks to be Gabriel in the 1841 census. I'll list as is showing on FreeCen rather than the other index.  Everyone showing as born in the county:

Gabriel Douglass 55, inn keeper,
Jane Douglass    45
Richard Douglass 25, Independent
Ann Douglass    5
Marry Gerran    25, servant
James Gibb    20, printer
Margt Nouat    10
Marry Nouat    15
Marry Wallace    15, servant
John Anderson    20, coachman

Address: Tempelhill, Dundonald Ayrshire

Hello Rockhoper,

I believe this is the same Gabriel than was born in 1874. I am not sure who the other people listed at that address (The Portland Inn Hotel) are.
