Hello,
any sign of an Andrew McRae(or variant) occupation Blacksmith and wife Agnes Kay? They married in Ochiltree in 1814.
Many thanks,

Hello Ann Marie,
Thanks. I am pretty sure Alexander Pollock is my ggrandfather's brother. I have him on the 1841 census, aged 8 yrs. He isnt on the 1851 census with the family but I found Alexander Pollock a servant/carter age 17 at Mabole. Is that near Kirkoswald? Are "Maidens" and "Cathcart" also near by. I don't know who the people in the other grave are. Possibily a younger generation. No sign of William and Mary (parents) They must have moved on.
Many thanks
Marg.
-
Hi Marg,
Maybole, Kirkoswald and Maidens are all within 4 miles off each other. I dont know where Cathcart is? I know there was a doctor's surgery called Cathcart in Ayr but not sure if that is it.
I will actually have the Maybole Cemetery book in the next few days and will do a lookup for Pollock's in that also.
Thanks
Ann Marie

Thanks Ann Marie.
I was looking at the LDS site and found the marriage for Alexander Pollock and Martha Lawson(1858) and some children born to them. Could not find Alexanders birth!
Many thanks

Tracey

Hello Ann Marie,
Thanks a lot for that. These could well be my people. Ggrandfather certainly had sisters by those names and Mary could be his mother. I take it there were no ages just year of death?
Thanks
Marg.

William Brown, Writer 24 March 1873 81yrs. Also in grave William Brown maybole 8th April 1856 aged 65yrs... ALOT of Browns in this grave.
No Rosanna or Sarah (Couper/Drumgold) in Maybole
Can you check these above first if not your family I will go through Brown's in Girvan next.... quite a good few Browns...
Let me know
-
Ann,
I don't think either of these are mine,
One William Brown was born 1831 and was a ploughman.
The other William was born in 1796 and was a hand loom weaver.
I really appreciate you looking. Its just a shame its such a common surname (especially on another branch of this family when I have two sets of Browns marrying in also!!)
Its so frustrating that 'Bill Broon' is such a common name!!!
Thanks again!!
Tracey
-
That makes two of us, Sparkle. Sadly I don't think these Pollocks are my people. at least not the ones I was hoping they were. Never mind we won't give up. One day...................... A really big THANK YOU Ann. I, too really appreciate your efforts.
Thanks
Marg.

Hi Ann, please could you see if you can find any trace of my following ancestors:
Thomas McEwen and his wife Janet McEwen (Galbraith). I don't have any dates for them other than their son Quintin was born in Kirkoswald abt. 1790.
Quintin lived in Girvan, but died in Midlothian in 1866. However, I believe that his wife Mary McEwen (McKinnah or McKinnon) b. abt 1788, died in Girvan sometime between 1841 and 1851 (the family were living in Plum Street, Girvan at the time of the 1841 census).
Lastly, the easy one, my great grand aunt Agnes Douglas Rae died at Maidens in 1960 and was buried in Kirkoswald cemetery.
Thanking you in advance
Kind Regards
Stewart
-
Hi Stewart,
I have checked the books and there are a few McEwen's and McEwan but none with the above names.
I also checked for Agnes Douglas Rae... under Rae and Douglas and couldnt find her in Kirkoswald...
Unless the index in the books are wrong. If you want the names of the other McEwens give me a shout.
Sorry.
Ann Marie
-
Hi Ann, many thanks for taking the time and trouble to look up the inscriptions on my behalf.
It was only Mary McEwen that I thought might have been buried at Girvan. The rest of the family moved to Hawick and Liberton. I therefore don't think that I'd be able to link any other Girvan McEwen MIs to my tree at this point in time but thanks for the inscription offer.
Since Quintin was born in Kirkoswald I wondered if his parents had perhaps died there, but I know it was a long shot given the paucity of available information.
Agnes Douglas Rae though is a bit more puzzling. As I was quite young when she died, I remember not being allowed to attend the funeral but I was taken to visit the grave a few days later in Kirkoswald cemetery. I was taken again about a year later after a small memorial stone had been erected. I haven't been back there for many years but next time I return home to Scotland I will see if I can find her grave.
Many thanks once again, Ann.
I appreciate your time

I think at least two of the pollocks in Maybole may belong to my family. My grgrgrandfather was a Thomas Chambers Pollock who died 3 july 1903 aged 89. He was married to a Margaret Smellie/Smillie who died 12 Mar 1910 I wonder if she is also buried in Maybole? One of his sisters was Jane Pollock who married a John McClymont and died 13 Jan 1867 aged 60. Is there any more detail for these people? I would be really grateful for any more info.

Also Agnes Taylor wife of the above John Taylor d Saltcoats 5 March 1920 aged 82yrs"
Section J: 2nd OLD section Liars J3:

Hi
I am interested in finding out if there are any Cathcarts or Lockharts buried in Kirkoswald or the surrounding area. I have ancestors who lived at Laigh Craigenton in the mid to late 1800s. Any information gratefully received.
Regards
Christine

Ann
Many thanks for the details they are definitely my relatives and the further details of james Pollock's wife and Jane Pollock's relations give me new information that I had been unable to locate. Can't thank you enough.

Hi Ann Maria
I would appreciate a lookup in Girvan for Powell family.
Of particular interest are:
James died 7 Aug 1856 - I'm trying to find out who his wife was - the death certificate just says married - his wife may have been Margaret or Isabella.
James died 14 Sept 1894
Thank you, Fairlane

Hi Fairlane,
There is no James Powell in any of the three cemetries i checked. Sorry
Ann Marie
-
Hi Ann Marie
Many thanks for looking for James - it is much appreciated. How I wish I had the same result as Christine with all her information!!
Best wishes, Fairlane
-
Hi Ann Marie
Many thanks for copying all that information for me. I am trying to work out how all the people might fit in.
Everything points to Susanna Todd and James Lockhart being my ancestors. Their daughter Mary married John Cathcart in 1831. I am trying to find when Mary Cathcart (nee Lockhart) died and where she is buried. She was born in 1805 and died some time between 1841 and 1851 I beleive.
I am also looking for her husband John Cathcart, born between 1795 and 1799. He would have died sometime after 1861.
Lastly there is James Lockhart who was born in about 1771 and died sometime between 1841 and 1851. He could well have been buried in Maybole.
If you are happy to search the Maybole records, I would be very grateful. Your efforts so far are very much appreciated.
Thanks again. Christine
-
Christine,
I checked the Maybole records and the only Cathcarts is a Jane Cathcart married to a John Gray.
The only Lockhart is a Jean Lockhart daughter of John Ross died 1913.
I checked Girvan and here is the following,
There is a Jane Cathcart died 1883 aged 81yrs. Also a THomas Cathcart Murchie d 1917 aged 46yrs.
Ralph S Cathcart d 1983
David Cathcart 1937, wife Mary Jane Burden. Son David McClaren Cathcartn 1980.
No Lockharts present in Girvan.
It doesnt look like your people are buried in any of the three graveyards. Sorry.
Ann Marie
-
Hi Ann Marie
Thank you very much for looking. I am going to see what I can find out on the Scotlands People website. I have only just discovered how much information is on it. Unfortunatley most of the details I need are pre the date for registrations.

Hello,
In Kirkoswald cemetery is there a Janet Stevenson (maiden name Jamieson). She was aged 89 on 1891 Census? I think she may have died 1989. Or her husband James Stevenson born 1776, I think he may have died in 1846?
Many thanks, Yvonne19

Hi Ann Marie,
thanks for the info - lots more than I expected and gives me some morepeople to look in to! Thanks for taking the time to look it up.
Mary Stevenson married to William Harvey - yes please, if you have time to look out the info.
Only if you have the time, is there any mention of Agnes & Janet Irvine - illegitimate twins born to Elizabeth Stevenson on 6.6.1869 at Leffenwynd. I've found Janet on 1871 census, but not Agnes. Elizabeth seems to have left them and married someone else a few years later.
Many thanks, Yvonne

Hi Anne Marie,

Thanks

I would love any information I can get about John Dempster and his wife Jennet Cooper/Cowpper, born c. 1791 and 1794, respectively; married 27 Jan 1821 in Barr by Girvan, Ayrshire (according to IGI). The last entries I find for them are in the 1851 Scotland Census.
Also, Jennet's parents, John Cooper/Cowpper and Agnes Cathcart, married 17 Feb 1787 (also according to IGI). Agnes born c. 1761, and was living with John and Jennet Dempster in the 1841 census. No further information about John.
I don't have information concerning John Dempster's parents, but his first two sons were Robert and John, and first two daughters Agnes and Jane.

Hi Ann Marie,
you kindly helped me before with info from these cemeteries. If you have time, could you have a look for me for David McGarrach or McGarroch and his wife Mary Hodgson. I have found death info on their daughter Ann McGarrach on a Maybole website, but couldn't find anything for her parents. Daughter Ann was born 1799 in Maybole.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Can anyone help, I'm hoping to find the graves of my great grandparents who lived in Girvan. John McKie born in 1856 and died in 1931 and his wife Marion Purdie McKie (nee Oliver) born 1859, died in 1934.
Any information would be great.
Thanks Suejay
-
Thank you very much for the information that you have given me, it is very much appreciated and it has certainly given me something to go on.
-
I am sorry Suejay.
I checked all four books that i have and cannot find John or Marion.
-
Thank you for taking the time to search this for me.
Is it possible that you could look up Janet McDougall (nee Highet) widow of Peter who died in Girvan 25.4.1917 - her parents were Alexander and Mary
Regards
Suejay
-
We have a Thomas Lindsay Halbert, son of Robert born Girvan about 1810 -12 Had a brother James and a sister Mary.
They moved not sure what time or when to New Castle on Tyne. hit a stone wall. James apparently went to Australia. Thomas was on a whaling ship possibly the Elizabeth. Looking for Halbert descendants in Girvan.
Please can you help, much appreciated.
-
Suejay,
This is what i could find.
Alexander MacDougall M.C.C.M d. 21 March 1926 aged 64 yrs.
In Loving memory of Peter McDougall dearly beloved husband of Janet Highet, d. 10 Jan 1908 aged 61 yrs. The above Janet Highet d. Mucula 25 Apr 1917 aged 70 years. His sons John aged 4 yrs, James aged 1 y, George aged 4 y are interred at Tarbolton. Also of William McColm Chrystal his son d. Pinminnoch 6 Dec 1934 aged 53 yrs.
Looks like that's her.
Ann Marie

Wow there isnt a single Halbert in Kirkoswald, Maybole or Girvan cemeteries. Thats a first...
Sorry Trudym
-
Thanks so much for looking anyway. That will confirm that Newcastleontyne probably is the only place. Much appreciated
Trudy
-
Ann Marie
Thanks very much for this info I found it really interesting - I'm a little confused though - where was Alexander MacDougall's grave or was it Peter's? Is it at Tarbolton as well? Sorry about this but I am very new to this researching. I think Alexander must be Peter's son from his first marriage to Margaret Pollock but I'll have to check this. I'm pretty sure that we have the right Peter and Janet.
Hope you can put me straight on the whereabouts of the grave as I am visiting Girvan at the end of the month and would love to be able to visit the grave.
Thanks again
Suejay

The Alexander McDougall grave is at section M26 in the Girvan Doune Cemetery, East Section.
Peter and Janet are at B24 section in the Girvan Doune Cemetery, West Section. what is interesting two graves up from this there is a Christina McIvor McDougall who died in Larne, Ireland 23.Oct 1918 aged 29 yrs. Dont know if she is related or not, she was married to a Andrew Oliver McKie.
-
Ann Marie
Wow. Thanks so much.
Christina McIvor McDougall was my grandmother. It wasn't Christina who died in Larne but her husband Andrew Oliver McKie - I knew his grave was there from my mother, who was born in Girvan.
We can now visit all the graves
Thanks very much
Suejay

Whoops you're right.... I rea inscription wrongly... It is Andrew in the grave :-)

hello,
I put a similar post on the forum, but this is the one that I meant to put it on. It's for a look-up of a grave or burial record of Alexander Stewart or his wife Jane nee Murray, in Girvan, unfortunately I don't have a date of death, but I am assuming it is between 1855-1886. I appreciate that it is a big gap, but don't have any more info to go on except that they had at least one child, Alexander who was a mason. Unknown if there were any other children.
Your help would be gratefully appreciated

I have an Alexander Stewart b. 09 Jun 1884 and died 16 Jul 1951. Also another one died 6. Feb 1956 aged 94 yrs.
I have a Jane Murray died 1900 aged 74 but husband David Campbell
Thats it sorry. I only checked Girvan now.
-
thank you for your look-up, sorry to say that they are not the right people, they would have died sometime between 1855 -1886, but I hope that you keep them in mind, thanks once again.

Hi ambyrne1
I have just discovered that my 5th gt grandmother was born in Kirkoswald - Sarah Niven (or Nivan) and her father was John Niven. Sarah was born (IGI and OPR SP) Oct 1756.
From the marriage OPR (SP) in 1785, "Sarah Niven dau of the deceased John Niven late smithright, Ayr"
There are numerous siblings listed on my search results on SP which I need to check out, but to date I have not discovered who John Niven's wife was.
I just wondered, please, whether you have any Nivans on your MI?
Thanks in anticipation ...

Hi Ann Marie
The discovery of my Niven family, Kirkoswald is relatively new so if I may, please, come back to you when I have some more Christian names, that would be great.
I have a feeling that my John Niven may have married several times, but at the moment, I am not sure.
Thanks again
Kind regards
Westwood1

Hi,
I have obtained the lists of graves and what each grave states for Girvan, Maybole and Kirkoswald Cemeteries. If anyone would like a lookup for these graves then please post here.
Hi, interested in Ayr information. Trying to find McLatchie and Brac(k)enridge data, also some links to Gray family that could tie in to your queries. John McLatchie m Mary Brackenridge 1842 in Maybole. Helen Johnston McLatchie born 1843, James born 1850, may have died in infancy. Mother Janet (Porter) McLatchie died 1855, buried Kirkoswald, husband John McClatchie died 1840, prob buried there as well. Other McLatchie data would be of interest.
Mary Brackenridge, supposedly born 1818 St Quivox, can't find parents, but other Brackenridge in the area. Mary and Margaret Brackenridge listed as servants 1841 in Maybole could be only link I have.
Thanks, Gary ;)

Thanks for the info, I can't match the Tait's with mine. My gg grandmother Isabella Tait was born in 1858 at Ladybank, Kirkoswald, Her parents were John c1827 and Mary Harkness c1827. I think that the father was originally from Ireland.
Isabella Tait married Henry Gibson in Kirkmichael in 1877. They had numerous children, Robert 1882, Mary 1883, Margaret 1887, John 1890, James 1890 (twins), James 1892, Samuel 1894, Isabella 1897, William 1899 and Jane 1902.
I'm really grateful for your time.
Many thanks
-
John Tait, born about 1827. who was the father of Isabella Tait, born 1858. states on all the census data that he was born in Ayrshire.
Regards,
Jonn.
-
Yes sorry about that. It was John Tait's father who was also called John was born in Ireland in1795. He was married to Mary McCormick c1797 who came from Girvan.
I never knew there were so many Gibsons and Taits - and they all seem to be related in round about ways. You can tell there were not televisions back then :)
Thanks
-
AMB, could you check if is there is anything in Maybole for Meek, and oblige, Skoosh.
-
There is only one Meek in Maybole.
Erected by John and Margaret Austin in memory of her sister Elizabeth Aird of Allison d. 12 Spet 1912 aged 70 yrs. Also the above margaret austin or Aird d. 26 Apr 1921 aged 77ys.

Also his wife Margaret Watson d 05 Oct 1980 R.IP
No Oblige present.
-
Blackbird,
No reference of the Gibsons above in Kirkoswald or Maybole Cemetery
-
Many Thanks AMB, I think these Maybole Meek's were shoemakers from Armagh. Another piece in the jigsaw! Skoosh, much obliged!
-
Hi Ann Marie,
I wonder if I could also take advantage of your generous offer!
Does your list for Maybole have any information on a James Edgar, either a shoemaker or cartwright's labourer and his wife, Jane Edgar ms Edgar? They married in Maybole 1858, so assume that they were born around 1835 - 1840.
The family seem to have connections to a place called 'Greenside' and James and Jane's descendants were still in Maybole in the early 1900s.
Best wishes
Rockford
-
Hi Rockford,
Sorry James and Jame are not in Maybole. There are a couple of other Edgar's but not the mentioned ones.
Good Luck
Ann Marie
-
Hi Ann Marie
Thank you for looking - it's greatly appreciated! It's another avenue to cross off the list.

I have a Thomas Girvan DUNBAR came to Australia from Maybole. His parents were John DUNBAR and Elizabeth Craig perhaps this couple are buried there?
Thomas was married to Mary Agnes HEMPKIN also to OZ, toghether with 3 kids, her parents Thomas HEMPKIN and Mary TAIT from Maybole although both sets of parents "seem"to have come from Ireland maybe maybe not ? The Dunbar name seems Scottish and of the area.
If someone can spot them in a cemetery in /around Maybole it would be a wonderful help.
Thanks Hely
-
Hi Hely,
You dont have any dates so here is what I have, I have an Elizabeth Craig d. Society St 28 Aug 1927 aged 87 years. (more people in this grave if you want it)
Elizabeth Craig d. Ashton Greenock 11 Feb 1886 husband Robert Allen.
There are no Dunbar's at all in Maybole old Cemetery. Also no Hempkin's or Tait's by those names. I also checked Kirkoswald and nothing.
Sorry
Ann Marie
-
Thanks for the try . I will find them one day they are born late 1700's to mid 1800's for death
-
Hi there, I have got Tait's in my family, the earliest being my GGGG grandfather John Tait who was born c1760 in Ireland, he married Janet Boyce also from Ireland. They had 3 sons Samuel b1781 in Girvan, Ayrshire, Robert b 1787 in Girvan and John b 1795 in Ireland. All 3 sons had daughters called Mary. Samuel's daughter Mary was born 1812 in Girvan. Robert's Mary b1816 in Girvan and John's Mary b1832 in Girvan. Let me know if this is of any help
-
No direct ties but I have the feeling in time these amy all be family whith the moving between Ireland and Scotland.
Here is what I have George Tait b1761 Ireland. Had Mary Tait 1805 Ireland married Thomas Hempkin b 1801 Ireland Died ? Scotland .
Had Mary Agnes Hempkin b 1832 Maybole married a Dunbar in Maybole and came to Australia with 3 of the first kids in a large family.
I have their names if it comes to it.
She died in Rockhampton QLD OZ 1912. Their daughter Elizabeth came with them about 9yrs and married John Davis my husbands gg grandfather.
So it seems to me there might be a tie up, it would be interesting why the Ireland ..Scotland moving. Work to be done lol let me know how it goes!
Thanks for your answer. Helyne
-
should proof read amy +may, and any others and there are some you will get my horrible typing.
-
You're right about it been a long slog! I've got English and Scots roots so I'm going back and forth. I know quite a few of mine emigrated to Aus, US and Canada. It's expensive too with all the different sites. Thank goodness for these free ones - they help a lot. I'll let you know if I come across anything useful for you. Don't worry about the smelling pistakes!!! Take care.
-
lol re typos were you taking the piss of of me lol with pistakes too funny

Hi ambyrne1
If it is not too much trouble could you check to see if there is any mention on your lists of a couple of people who would have been buried in a cemetery in Girvan.
The first is John McKee {his surname may be a variant, such as 'McKie'}. He died aged around 77 on April 27th 1855 at Wilson Street, Girvan. His statutory death record states that he was buried in 'Girvan Churchyard'. The second person is John's wife, Janet McKee, who died between 1841 and 1851.
I would be very grateful for any help you could give me.
Best wishes,
Brendan

Sorry was in the states quite a bit for work and I am back in the presence of the inscription books now.
Thanks
Ann Marie

Dear Ann Marie,
thanks so much - glad you're back! I'm heading to Scotland from Australia in May and plan to visit a few cemeteries. It'd be a big help if you could do a look-up on the Tanahill, Hill, Bell or O'Neill/Neill family in Girvan please. I can be more specific with names & dates if that is too broad. Thanks heaps (I'm sure my husband will thank you too if we have an actual headstone to find instead of wandering around... - not that I mind!)
Cheers

Thank you for your help with the Curries who are interred at the Kirkoswald Cemetery. I have also
2 William Curries for whom I do not have a death date. They were born in 1817 and 1860. There are also 3 Johns who were born 1814, 1841 and 1877. Does any of this information tally with a William or John in Maybole Cemetery?
Thank you once again, Nan

Thank you so much for the additional information on the Curries. You have filled in a few gaps and added two names to the family tree. It's very kind of you to do these look ups for those of us who live too far away to come to the area in person.
Cheers, Nan

Hello
I am trying to find 2 graves that I assume are around your area. Adam Murdoch was a sawyer and timber merchant, he died on 24 July 1864 in Dailly. His son Adam Murdoch died aged 13 on 28 Sept 1869, of phthisis (TB?).
The wife of Adam senior was Eliza McConnell and she emigrated to New Zealand with her 3 remaining sons. I have been able to find the grave for her parents Primrose McConnell and Mary McGill in Dailly, but not for her husband and son.
Wondered if you can help. Many thanks.
-
Hi Misfit,
Sorry couldnt find Adam Murdoch... there is a lot of Murdoch's but no Adam's.
Thanks
Ann Marie
-
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I know that it will be difficult to find these people as I have already done lots of searching online.
If I can add another one - I am also looking for Clementina Rodger(s) who married Adam Murdoch (I think he is the grandfather of the previous one) at Craigenton in 1791. Their son John was born in 1792 and I assume she died before 1794 when Adam remarried. I think her father was David Rodger and she was born in Kirkoswald in 1766.
I have been trying to pull together a Rodger family tree and there are 4 named Clementina over the years so it seems to be a family name. It is a bit hard to separate one line from another as they are all John, David, Hugh (including the famous one) and James....
-
Hi Misfit,
Sorry about the delay i didnt get a mail on this for some reason... I cannot find any of those Rodgers of that name. There are a few Rodger's around early 1800's but not by those names.
thanks
-
Hi,
Wonder if you would look up a John Davidson for me he died in Dailly in 1857 -- .
Thanks,
suzilad
-
Thanks very much for looking, even though unsuccessfully. It is great to have some local help as I live in Australia.
I just found the Scotlands Places website and looked at some of that and found Adam Murdoch owned 7 horses at Craigenton in 1798, but was only liable to pay farm horse tax duty on 4 of them. It is great that more records are becoming available nowadays to help us in our searches.
Thanks for all your efforts.

Hi Ann Marie,
Over 4 years and still helping everyone, fantastic!
I went through all the posts and saw no Morton's. I have researched as far back as my 5th Great grandfather John Morto(u)n and his wife Helen Craw(u)ford who would have been born around 1710, married in 1735 and had 4 kids all born in Coylton Parrish, Ayrshire. Helen Morton (wife or daughter?) d 18 Sep 1776 in Blainfield, Kirkoswald. Sons John and James married?? and died?? Son William Morton married Mary Dow(u)nie in 1767 in Coylton and had John b 1768, Margaret, William, John b 1774, Helen b 1777 and Marion all baptized in Coylton.
Marriages that fit in neighboring parishes are Helen and Alexander Tunnoch, Margaret and John Watson. John b 1774 married Margaret E(a)glesham or E(a)glesome 1 Mar 1798 in Kiroswald and they in turn had a son John Morton (and perhaps others, William?) who farmed at Newhouse north near Irvine. This John retired to Edinburgh with his youngest son, my great grandfather, and died there.
Both William and his son John were corn millers at Culzean mill which was just South of Turnberry on Milton Burn and West of Kirkoswald. A Marion Morton and a William Morton died a month apart at Cullean Mill, Kirkoswald in 1789. I find this all very confusing with each successive generation given the same names, as well as several other Morton families in the same area with the same forenames.
I am planning a trip to Scotland this summer. Is there any of these Morton's and perhaps spouses buried at Kirkoswald with inscribed headstones and is there a map of the cemetery with there locations. Some may be buried at neighboring parishes, but I think there is a family of Morton's in Girvan that I have not been able to connect to my family (so far).
Sorry for the long post and thanks,
James

Hi,
I have obtained the lists of graves and what each grave states for Girvan, Maybole and Kirkoswald Cemeteries. If anyone would like a lookup for these graves then please post here.
Hi I was wondering if you found any Pollocks in Kirkoswald? They were all from around that area.
Many thanks

Hello I know there is a gravestone for one of my ancestors in either Maybole or Ayr, but I don't know which one. I wonder if you could look up Maybole for me because this would decide it. The names on the stone are Jessie, Robert, Matthew Findlay Guthrie plus Janet Merry (married name Guthrie) & Agnes Blane plus others.
Many thanks.
