Hi Brenda

My mums family were from Kilsyth and my dad was from the neighbouring village Croy. I have never heard of the surname kyle in kilsyth but know  Coyle families both in Kilsyth and croy. If you go to scotlands people there are Coyle families in cencus for 1871 onwards. There were infact 2 Coyle families that i dont think were related. Both Coyle families had members that moved to Croy. My brothers best friend was a James Coyle .

HI tony

Looks like it could be him.I have searched scotlands people loads of times and have yet to find him in scotland.

Always been curious about him wondering if he came back to see his family.

Thanks Tony.

Hi

My great gran Jane Moncur married James HAY in Anderston Glasgow 1861.They had 3 boys. He left her a few times .Last time was 1868 when he was a scottish soldier and he left her to go to India.I know he was a soldier as one of his sons died age 10 and has him as soldier on his sons death certificate.

I got this info from my grans birth certificate.She was born 1876.Said that james hay was not the father of this child as he had left his wife 8 years before to go to India.My gran always signed James HAY as her father even though he wasnt.she also had a sister born 2 years later and this info was also on her birth certificate.

When my great gran died James Hay was signed as her husband so dont think they ever divorced.Just wondering if theres anyway i could find out what happened to James Hay as ive always thought of him as my
Ggrandfather .
