to all the people who have contributed and helped ....Blimey
I dont know where to start , seems I have opened a hornets nest !
tbh I have only made my interest in Isabella John and Helen as they are my direct lineage , so havent really paid too much attention to the other names and dates on the gravestone !
that being said , I am off on holiday for 2 weeks , so when I get back I will get into this again and do a bit more research and see what comes out of it !
thank you again and I will be back :-)
regards

thanx MonicaL for the 1841 census :-)
but you have created another mystery as so far I havent heard of a Mary !
I have searched scotlandspeople for bmds and census for Mary and found nothing , except of course the 1841 !
if she is Isobellas daughter then she must have had her when she was 15 !
cant wait to see the census for 1841 , might go mad and buy it tomorrow !

Ashtone the first evidence I have regarding Helen is her marriage to Michael Findlay, she died in 1884 aged 75   giving her an estimated dob of 1808/1809 and the transcription of the gravestone in Irvine , which I have attached !
I see an Isobella McKinnon on the 1841 census aged 55 in Irvine , but no credits left have to wait until the end of the month !
I have her on the 1851 census as Isabella McKinnon aged 65 (pauper) in Irvine born in Buteshire !
I have her death certificate , she died in 1862 in Irvine !

Looking for information  on Isabella Black
(my 5 times great grandmother) who was born on Arran Buteshire Scotland  circa 1785 , she "married" John McKinnon/McKennon and they had a daughter
Helen Black McKinnon also born on Arran circa 1808.
Helen married Michael Findlay in Irvine in 1829 and when Michael died she erected a gravestone in the Old Parish Church Irvine graveyard , which included that her father John died in October 1810 in Chelsea aged 24, giving him an approximate dob as 1786 also her mother Isabella in 1862 !
on Isabella's death certificate (she died in Irvine) it named John McKennon her husband, (deceased ) and he was a soldier !
I have searched scotlandspeople for a marriage for John and Isabella and a birth certificate for allof them , but no luck , I have also searched for John McKinnon(McKennon but unsure of which one is him !
so for the long story but any help would be appreciated !
regards
