Looking for any info at all on the family of Hugh McGill Munro who was born in Ayrshire (I think) then moved to Twechar.

Welcome to Rootschat

Who did he marry?
EDIT
There are births for that name on Scotlands People as follows:
1876 birth reg in Galston
1895 in Blantyre

Which entry is he?

That would be me ;D I've lost that site and also a bit of paper I had with the details written on. They are my granny and grandad, I was looking for my cousins who I last saw in the 1950s, they lived in Twechar.

Hi.
My sister lives in Twechar .Married a Twechar guy 40 years ago.We are originally from Croy Village couple miles from Twechar.Catholic pupils from Twechar came to our Primary school.I remember Munro family coming up from England in the mid 60s to go back live in Twechar .Annette was in my class.I do know the family still stay in Twechar.Only Munro family in Twechar as far as i know.

Not my lot then, we had no Annette and they never went to England. Interesting that there's another Munro family there, thanks for this x

Mine must all be gone now then :( I had cousins called Lisbeth. Tommy, Barbara, Hughie, and I think another younger one.

Hi
There is some people on Ancestry with a Daniel Munro who is related to your Munro Family.Also they have Hector Munro.I read a story about twechar on a site and they mentioned Hector Munro.The Munro family i know had a Daniel Munro in their family.My dad worked with their grandfather Daniel Munro from Twechar in the pit.Someone on ancestry said their was a family off 10.

I have just found your cousin Hugh Mcgill Munros marriage to Alice Friel .1940 on Scotlands people.
Cant believe they were married in Holy cross Croy.Tommy Munro was a witness.The chapel in Twechar wasnt built till 1947.The reason i know this is because my brother in law was the first to be baptised in the new chapel .I also found Elizabeth Munro your cousin who married a Carr.They married in Lennoxtown.Elizabeth died 2001.Im sure you could easily find some of their family .There is a Lennoxtown facebook page that i am on and i found cousins of my mums who stayed there.

Croy Girl I'm an eejit - I forgot my cousins are not Munros, they are Grahams! ;D
Yes I had an uncle Hector and an uncle Danny. The ones I know of are Danny, Hector, Isabella, Mary, Jimmy, Edward (killed by a tram in Glasgow aged 7), Elizabeth and Theresa. I'm sure there wa sa Tommy as well but I can't remember. Isabelle & Mary went to Canada long ago and I never met them. Danny stayed in Twechar and worked in the pit. Hector went to England. Jimmy moved to Fife. My mum Elizabeth moved to Fife. Theresa stayed in Twechar and married a Tommy Graham and had my cousins.
I'm sure my grandad Hugh McGill Munro had a brother Daniel. I know there was a lady in Canada who was related to me but I've lost the login for Ancestry and also the wee bit of paper with what I know so far :( My grandad married Elisabeth Cassidy.
The ones who mention in your last post I don't know of. Hugh who married Alice etc. They might be second cousins. The problem is that my mother didn't talk about her family at all- it's so annoying. By the time you get interested in all this, there's nobody left alive to ask about it!
Thanks very much for this Marguerite, it's kind of you x
