1841-61: Peter BISHOP born 1803 and son John born 1837
« on: Monday 07 August 06 03:14 BST (UK) »
Can anyone find these folks somewhere in Ayr 1841-1861? Peter and his son John moved to New York by the mid-1860s.

Peter BISHOP, born 1803 Kilmarnock, Ayr, Scotland
Margaret BISHOP, wife
John BISHOP, son, born 1837 Kilmaurs, Ayr, Scotland

Peter was the son of John and Janet (GIBSON) BISHOP. He married Margaret MCKINNON in 1837 in Dreghorn or Kilmaurs. If John and Janet BISHOP can be found, that would be great, too.

Peter's son John married Margaret DUNBAR in 1860 in Irvine. They had a son, Peter, who MIGHT appear as an infant in 1861.

My apologies if the spelling of place names is awry - some came from the IGI.
