Hi
tracing a James McLauchlan born Ayr 1861. Found a possible on 1871 census but where is "Hibgivinie"? I live in Ayrshire and I can't even guess what this supposed to be :-\
Any clues? his younger siblings were born in Dalry Ayrshire.
Thanks

could it possibly be - Dalrymple ???
the other "spelling was on the ancestry site. No credits left to look at Scotlandspeople!

Impossible to say without seeing the original, but...Kilbirnie?

Hi carole
That looks like him! I'd already got the parents - but not their marriage, thank you very much. was that from Scotlands people?
much appreciated

Hi again,
Yes, was from Scotlands People, still trying to read the actual date of the parents marriage, unless it's my eyes it looks like 7th October, 1853 and Sarah's maiden name looks like Barclay?

Hi Carole
yes Barclay, I found that on LDS. Thank you for paying to look this up for me. It's all another link in the chain isn't it?
we are mclauchlans, and found these others in the tree related to an aunt so have been trying to see if there is a link. Her lot all came from ireland,so it must be another family.
Great work
Thank you.
sometimes you wonder who transcribes these things - can't be easy though.
many thanks

Several coconuts for Anna ;D
But how on earth any indexer could take a perfectly readable and quite clear 'Kilbirnie' and end up with 'Hibgivinie' just defies the imagination.
OK, maybe I'm being too harsh, as I will conceed that the enumerator's 'K' could be read as an 'H', but then there is a Helen on the page where the enumerator's 'H' is distinctly different from the capital letter at the start of his 'Kilbirnie'.
Putting aside any debate over the intial capital, the continuation is so clearly "ilbirnie' ....... as opposed to 'ibgivinie', it's just complete nonsense that it's been so transcribed ........

Hello Revmother,
The marriage of James McLachlan, and Sarah, was 04/Sep/1853. Old Monkland, Lanark.
The names however were James McLachlan, and Sarah Bartley.
Their first child Margaret McLachlan, was born 05/Jan/1857. Old Monkland, the parents names James, and Sarah Bartley,
The second child was Bridget McLaghlin, born 18/May/1859. Dalrymple, Ayr. parents James, and Sarah Bartly.
The couple are living in Kilbirnie, Ayr. 1861, with daughter Bridget, aged 1 years. the first born Margaret, seems to have died.
The next bunch of kids the mothers name has changed to Barclay.
James, born 11/July/1861. Kilbirnie,
Margaret born 26/Jun/1866. Dalry,
John, born 12/Nov/1868. Dalry,
Sarah, born 07/Nov/1870. Dalry,
Thomas, born 07/Nov/1872. Dalry.
The family were in Dalry, 1871.
Both parents were born in Ireland.
The Bartley, Barclay. you can see where the register has written down on the earlier certificates what he has most likely heard and as it sounded to him, i doubt either of the couple could read or write.
Regards,
Jonn.

Thank you for sorting that out for me. I too had found Sarah as Bartly as well as Barclay.
I really appreciate everyone's help on this thread, it is much appreciated.
