Parents married in Straid Congregational Church, Ballynure on 30 Dec 1876. Fathers were James Boyd and William Lough.

There's a will on the PRONI website for William Lough, of Kings Moss, who died 11th July 1902. It mentions daughter Rachael, and gives some other family information.

Many thanks for the information which I will follow up. Rachael is my great grandmother and she and her husband, Edward, and family came to Ayrshire but as yet I do not know when.

kingkerswell.  Many thanks for the information much of which is new to me.  Hopefully it will lead to further family background and answers to a few questions.

After further research I am now looking for more information:
Edward Boyd who married Rachael Lough in 1876, in Straid Congregational Church, Ballynure - his father was James Boyd and mother Jane (Kane) Boyd.  Would be grateful for any help.
Regards

Sorry, new to this.
I am looking for information on James and Jane (Kane) Boyd parents of Edward Boyd. James was present at Edward's wedding in 1876.

Yes, but what sort of information?

First of all, how do you know that James was present at his son's marriage in 1876? Father's are not always listed as deceased on the certificates.

Civil registration of births started in 1864 so there will be no birth certificates for James or his wife.

Do you know when their son Edward was born? this will narrow down the date of marriage a bit
