my relatives the Gibb family lived in kilmun in the 1800's.  Going there soon to try and trace them.  should I head for the church or the records office in Lochgilphead?
They were boat builders and farmers.
Robert Gibb(b 1844) was married to Christina McVicar from Garelochead.

As far as I know all the records are at Lochgilpead, but if you contact them they would be able to tell you if there are any records locally

Am able to assist with details of those who have memorials there.


There are a few for Johnston families so more detail would be useful.

Hi Museum Man

I too am interested in Kilmun Churchyard!  I am trying to find out if my Alexander Douglas a Master Mariner is buried at Kilmun.  He died in Gourock on 22nd February 1870 aged 39 years.   I do know his mother Janet Douglas nee Whyte died March 29th 1859 and maybe his father Neil Douglas are buried at Kilmun Churchyard!  Any info would be most appreciated.

Kind regards

Yvonne

Many many thanks for looking for my Douglas's.  Maybe there is no memorial for any of them.  The death certificate of Janet Douglas nee Whyte states she is buried in the Churchyard of Kilmun by the then undertaker.   Would Kilmun Parish Churchyard be a different cemetery I wonder?  Her husband was Neil or Neal Douglas a Ferryman.  I shall keep on looking as they say!

Kind Regards

Yvonne
