Brakeplough, Stevenston

[Tom Wylie]

I am trying to trace the Family WYLIE who are recorded as living at Brake Plough, Stevenston in 1819.   There may in fact have been TWO families called Wylie at the same location who may or may not be related.

Where is Brake Plough - today.  Was it a farm or a street?

hi Tom 

on freeCEN there are 21 people listed at brEAKplough stevenston in 1841
including -
william wyllie 25 railway labourer born ayrshire
georgina wyllie 25 b. ayrshire

no other wyllie's

going by the census it seems to be located between grange mains and foley.
mayfield and seabank house(now auchenharvie academy ?) are also in the area
john wylie(weaver) , helen biggart , and 7 children at breakplough 1819/1822

this might be them in 1841(freeCEN)
(townhead street ?) stevenston ayrshire
john willie 60 cotton handloom weaver b. ayrshire
helen willie 60 pirn winder b. ayrshire
john willie 5 b. ayrshire(grandson ?)

Hello Tom,

If you are talking about John Wylie, his wife Helen Biggart or Beggart, their children and the widow Wylie, ie Elizabeth Blair.

I am quite sure the Elizabeth Blair, is in fact John Wylie's, widowed Mother.

Regards,
Jonn.

Is it not Elizabeth BAIRD??

Is there anybody on this group actively researching the WYLIE families concerned, I'd like to exchange notes.

I'm trying to tie up this family (or some of them) with my Great Great Great Grandfather Thomas WYLIE who was married in Glasgow in 1817 and was a policeman.   His son WILSON WYLIE moved to Drakemyre Hamlet just outside Dalty where he brought up his family.   Perhaps by moving from Glasgow back to Ayrshire - he was going back to his roots.

Unfortunately few of the names from the Stevenston families seem to be MY Wylie family names, but I'm trying to establish if there is a link.

MY Wylie family have roots in Dalry and  Saltcoats

Hello Tom,

Yes i have done a bit of research on this family.

John Wylie, married Helen Beggart, 16/06/1804, Stevenston, Ayr.

They did not have a son Thomas.

John Wylie's, parents were Matthew Wylie, married to Elizabeth Baird, on 29/July/1769.

This couple had also seven children all born Stevenston, Ayr, again there was no Thomas.

Wylie/Wyllie, is a popular name in Ayrshire, in 1851 there were 976 people of those names.


Regards,
Jonn.
