There are loads of Youngs in Wallacetown Cem and Ayr. Can you narrow it down a bit with some rough dates and christian names?

Thank you so much for searching the MacKays and McJannets.
None seem to match so far, but I will certainly keep the information in the event somewhere in the family I can make a match.  Your time is greatly appreciated.

I hate to beg you for further information after you have already done so much, but did you happen to notice if there were any Muirs in Ayr?  I have Gabriel Muir who died Sept. 11, 1790, Ayr Parish.  His wife, Euphemia (Baird) Muir died between 1841 - 1851, should also be Ayr Parish.

Thank you.
All the best!

Hi Julieann,
Heres a couple, Margaret Young married to John Douglas Hendrie after 1882 and a Andrew Young married to Sarah or Agnes Smith. What years do the MI,s cover.

The Ayr Cemetary in Holmston Rd didn't open until 1862.  There are quite a few Muirs in Ayr Auld Kirk, Newton-on-Ayr and St Quivox, but no sign of Gabriel and Euphemia. 

I found another MACKAY in Ayr Auld Kirk:

Erected by William McKay...his dau Elizabeth d in Oct 18(32). And of Elizabeth Murrow his wife d3 Jul 1837 aged 49. And his son David d 5 Dec 1840 aged 16. Elizabeth Murrow his mother-in-law d 18 Apr 1835 aged 99. also of said William McKay, Barrack Serjeant, Ayr d 23 Feb 1850 aged 71. and of his youngest dau Charlotte d at Irvine 11 Feb (1850) aged.......

also Ayr Auld Kirk, these McJannets:

In loving memory of James and Agnes McJanet.... (This appears to be the top of the stone belonging to the base remaining in position 99- ed)

(The entry for no 99 is:"Erected by their niece M J D Andrew. (All that remains of this stone is the plinth and on cross referencing with the early 20th cent. transcription it would appear that the main part of the stone is now to be found on the small granite cross at inscription no 13 - McJanet - ed)")

In memory of Henry Cowan d at Bombay 22 Nov 1819 aged 50. also Margaret McJannet his wife d 18 Oct 1840 aged 67. also of their dau Elizabeth d 20 Jun 1854 aged 48.

In memory of Andrew Hunter Wood Captain 15th reg H.E.I.C.S who d at Cawnpore 31 May 1834 aet 44. Isabella McJannet his widow who d at Ayr 23 DEc 1960 aet 70. Their children Isabella Hutchinson who d at Calcutta Nov 1824. Andrew Hunter who d at Hansi Aug 1828. William who d at London Oct 1852 aet 25. David Peebles Mackenzie eldest son born at Barrackpore India 1 Dec 1823 d at South Lilli(muir) Australia 8 Apr 1893

(On top '3 Graves') Erected in memory of Robert McJannet Innkeeper in Ayr d 10 Oct 1847 aged 59 and Mary McMurtie his wife.........77 yr.

I have looked up Hendrie - re a Young/Hendrie grave- in Newton on Ayr, Ayr Auld Kirk, Ayr Cem, and Wallacetown with no sign of your Margaret and John.

I will go through the Youngs and Smiths later - there are rather a lot of them.

Ayr Cemetary opended in 1862.  The other places are churchyards, so a lot earlier.  I think the church at Wallacetown was built around 1835.   I don't know when they stopped being used for burials. Ayr Auld Kirk was built in the 1650's
