Ayrshire / The Pictorial History of Dundonald Lookup
« on: Friday 18 October 13 19:20 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

I am looking for a lookup from The Pictorial History of Dundonald by Robert Kirk, published in 1989.

I am looking for information about the family of James Allan, who married Jean Brown in 1775 in Old Rome, died in 1790 in Old Rome, and was buried in Dundonald in 1790. He is the father of Alexander (Sandy) Allan, who started the Allan Shipping Line. Apparently this book has information about both this Allan family and its connection to the Allans of Edgar Allan Poe's foster family. The connection on that line would be William Allan, who married Elizabeth Galt in 1775, or possibly Agnes Allan, who married John Galt in Dundonald in 1743 and died 1778.

Thanks so much!

Ayrshire / Lookup for Monumental Inscriptions in Kilmarnock
« on: Wednesday 26 June 13 20:30 BST (UK)  »
Hello everyone,

I am wondering if anyone is currently doing lookups for Pre-1855 Gravestone Inscriptions in Kilmarnock and Loudoun District, edited by Alastair and Margaret Beattie. I know that several people have offered this in the past, but I haven't been able to get a hold of them.

I am looking for James Stevenson (c. 1790 - c. 1845) and Janet Francis Allan (1786 - 1840), whom I believe are buried together in the Laigh Kirk Churchyard in Kilmarnock.

Thanks so much,

Peter Stevenson
