Hendry / McIntyre / Murchie / McBride (Arran)

Glad it got sorted actually. In an earlier thread I said my gr grandparents were buried in Auchencairn - actually, I found out there is a small part of Lamlash known as Auchencairn. You do not know how that stumped me when I assumed there was only one Auchencairn in Argyll. I dropped a few 4 letter words. They are actually buried  in the Lamlash yard with a nice view of the Holy Isle.

Hello HistoryBoy77. I see you have Donald McIntyre & Mary McBride of Sliddery as parents of your Margaret McIntyre (1818-1900). I've had them on my list of possible parents of my Margaret McIntyre (c1813-1892), but they were always unlikely candidates and it would be good to eliminate them once and for all.
I suppose your source for them being your Margaret McIntyre's parents was her Death Certificate? If so, great, my list of possible parents will have gotten shorter.
regards

Hi

sorry for a very long time replying! Yes, it is indeed from a death certificate.

I know of an Iain Murchie who was at Ardrossan Academy in the 1950s.  He would have been born around 1944/5 and played for the Academicals Rugby Team.  He stayed with a relative near me but his home was Lamlash, Arran.   I recall some family connection to a shop or store at Lamlash.  There also was a Murchie's Tearoom on Princes Street, Ardrossan in the 50s and 60s, perhaps connected.
cheers, Ian
