It sounds then as if Kings Muir just be a suburb then and an area referred to locally rather than an established or incorporated town, is that right?

Kingsmuir is on the south side of the river Tweed in Peebles.  A large house there may have been the home of Ernest Maylard - who was a contemporary of my grandfather in the Scottish Mountaineering Club.  It became a hotel for a while but is again in private ownership.  The area of Kingsmuir was built up in around the 1920s - 40s, but the name was retained in the local street names.

I have not come across any Maylards in the town

Does anyone have information on ships coming to Britain from Jamaica.  I am looking for a young girl called Louise King who may have been travelling in the company of her uncle James Gall, of Myrtlebank, Kingston, Jamaica, in the 1900s/1910s/1920s.  She had a sister, Agnes I think, who remained in Jamaica. I'd be interested too in finding out about her.
TIA

Thanks for that!  I rather thought that might be the case.  So would I be better to spend time in Belfast going round churches, or what would be my best option?  I'm really not familiar with the Irish system at all, as you can tell!

I'd be interested in ships from Jamaica coming to Britain.  I am looking for a young girl or woman called Louise King travelling possibly in the early 1900s or 1910s, maybe in the company of her uncle, James Gall of Myrtlebank, Kingston.
