Ayrshire farming families esp WYLLIE

[ripplesjd]

Hi

I am researching a John [Dunlop] Wylie (Wyllie) who arrived in NSW in late 1823 on the Greenock. I can't work out his familial relationship with the astronomer James Dunlop. But there seems to have been one - as letters were sent to James Dunlop care of John Wylie and John Dunlop Wylie named his farm at Kembla Grange (near Dapto bordering Lake Illawarra "Dunlop Vale". I would love any help in sorting out the connection between the two - and also John Wylie's connexion with the famous [John Dunmore Lang} family who came out on the same boat in 1823.

Hi,

I am new to this site.  I am interested in knowing anything further about the William Shields b. 1826.  I am related to the Shields of Ayrshire (Irvine, Newmilns, Galston, Stewarton) and those from Glasgow.  In our tree we have the Frews and Wyllies so would appreciate any information.  Many thanks.

The OPRs of Galston -which are missing from the LDS micro film - in 1819 has two Wyllies  mentioned.

Hi and many thanks for the records.  I wonder how many other Galston records are not on LDS?

Hi Deborah, there are a total of 150 births missing in the microfilm records of Galston OPRs,from January 1818 to the 9th of April 1820. If you need any more names checked let me know.

Hello Ann
My Ancestors who farmed at Caddell were the McLauchlan family.  They were there until they left to come to England.  At that time, in the 1880'/1890s the agriculture in the east of England was in trouble and workers were leaving to go to the north where there were more jobs available in the mines etc.
Last year I went to Scotland to see where they came from. I have photo's of Caddell Farm and also of Girthill farm which is where my Grandmother came from. It is only about 10 minutes away.
As far as I know there is no connection with the Whyllie family but anything is possible.  The owner of Caddell Farm now found quite a lot of items connected with the McLauchlan family but alas he burnt it all as he thought it was of no value!  I could have cried!!.  He was a very nice man and we had a long chat.
Do contact me if you think we might be able to connect somewhere.  Meanwhile ghood hunting and I will look at the information I have so far.

I am interested in the parents of Elisabeth Wylie/Wyllie who married William Shields, Nov. 27, 1824 Stewarton.  They had a son William Shields who was born Apr. 16. 1826.  I have not been able to find out when either parent died but it was before 1850 when the young Wm. came to the US.  I am trying to make a connection of Elisabeth Wylie/Wyllie to the family a John Wyllie.  Thank you.
