Dickson in Dunlop, Ayrshire
« on: Saturday 06 September 08 13:34 BST (UK) »
I am looking for descendants of Jacob Dickson and Annie Thomson who lived in Dunlop Ayrshire til about 1951 or so possibly longer.  Jacob was born to Alexander Grierson Dickson and Mary Shennan in Mouswald, Dumfriesshire 1886 and died in I believe Dumfries in 1969 but is buried in Dunlop Cemetery with his wife Annie, daughter of John Thomson and Maggie Wilson, born 1888 in Ayr, died in Dunlop in 1951. They had at least 1 son that I can find, John Thomson Dickson b 1912 died 1976 in Dunlop, also buried there. John married Margaret Boyd (1913-1974) and they had at least 2 known sons, one Hugh Boyd Dickson (1943-1945) and the other John McTavish Dickson born 1941 in Dunlop.   This line is not mine but Alexander G Dickson was my Great Grandfather, Thomas Dickson's (1856-1932) brother and I have not been too successful in finding any descendants in my direct line so am looking to sibling lines.  I have my Dicksons currently back to mid 18th Century.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
