Ayrshire Archives have some, not sure if Burns Monument Centre do to.

Here is part of an old post from "lodger' Dec 07

It's really quite simple. If you read the words "High Church" on a post 1855 birth, marriage or death certificate you are looking at a Registration District within the parliamentary burgh of Glasgow. It has nothing to do with the ecclesiastical parish surrounding Glasgow Cathedral.
If the words occur pre 1855 then it is safe to assume they refer to the cathedral church's old parish records and the inner city (644/1). On 1st January 1855, 644/1 became the registration district of Central.

Hope it helps.

I was telling BarLou how helpful you have been and she assumed you may be related, but I see she has already been in touch. Once again I'm deeply indebted. I have been able now to fill in more about Robert, and William more successful than first thought. Can feel a trip to St Marys coming on some time.

Cheers

Sandra, how can I thank you..so much in so little time.

I haven't come across those middle names before in my tree, so maybe they are from the mother's side?

As for Lorne and Dora, they did have an uncle James Johnston, still living at the family farm of Airdsgreen, Glenbuck, Muirkirk. He died 1925 at the farm, so I suppose they may well have been visiting the family in Muirkirk.

The surname of Eggo is interesting, not come across that in Scotland, yet.

It's still a mystery when William and/or Robert originally came over, information I have from St Marys Museum is William is not on the 1861 census, but does appear in militia training records in 1860.
