According to family member George Barton married Elizabeth Kerr and they had a daughter Margaret all this apprently happened in Bute - Kilmory.
This was said during a comversation with an elderly relative now dead.
I often wondered of there is any truth in it? Any Bartons in Kilmory?

Hi Ev
Tha's them I think. I did a little digging at first. I was wondering if there are any clues as to addresses for them at this time other than just parish etc?

No locations just the token "of this parish."
I peeked at Margaret's birth it states she was born at Lamlash Bay which is an area/region and where the kirk is but no details as to an actual place name. Perhaps other births will be more specific.

Lamlash/Lamlash Bay is on the Isle of Arran.

Kilbride is one of the parishes on Arran ( the other is Kilmory). Lamlash was also known as Kirktown of Kilbride. This website may be of interest- www.ayrshireroots.co.uk
