Mavie Mill COMPLETED
« on: Sunday 29 January 06 14:28 GMT (UK) »
My g g grandparents married at my g g grandmothers house/farm, Mavie Mill, near Gartocharn.
Does anyone know if it is still there.
I saw a cottage for sale while I was searching google for Mavie Mill.
The cottage was built c1857, they married in 1883.
It was in the parish of Kilmaronock.

Do you think it could be the same place?

I have their marriage cert and it is Mavie Mill KilmarOnock, It is going up towards Loch Lomond.
It is not Kilmarnock (with one o, which is south from Glasgow.

I have seen it on the map, but it is not in new map books as it is an old village with one church and at the time one school.

I can't wait to visit in May  :)

This might help - it appears that this is part of Bonhill, which is between Balloch and Dumbarton rather than on the road to Stirling although it states that the modern Kilmaronock includes Drymen in it which is up the Stirling Road.

That's OK mrst, I was confused, until someone explained the "o's"  :D
My friend who lives in Duntocher has never heard of Kilmaronock either.

Thank you annaandchester, my ancestors who lived there were born in Drymen.
I will have a look at the link now.  ;)

Hi thank you Winniep,
This is where I thought they were married, until I was told they were married at the brides home in those days.
And they got married at her home in Mavie Mill.

But if we go up to Kilmaroncok I will visit the church.

Just came across your post and wasn't sure from the above discussion whether you realised that the cottage you saw for sale could have been your ancestors home.

Kilmaronock is a parish rather than a place and contains the village of Gartocharn. Mavie mill is in the back road between Croftamie and Gartocharn and is definitely still there. I assume you are related to the McAuleys who were there in 1881

My family, McLarens, stayed just along the road and in 1881 they were employing an Elizabeth McAuley. She was born in Glasgow though so probably no relation to you.

If you need more details on the area let me know. I assume you have the family in the 1881 census?
