*** COMPLETED *** Where is this place?

Hi again Ayrshire 'cousins'

I have a marriage record from 1866 in the Parish of Dreghorn, Ayrshire but I can't read where the marriage took place.

It looks like 'Cunningham......'

Any suggestions?

Dreghorn
"This parish comprehends the old parishes of Dreghorn and Pierstoun, which were united in 1668. The whole of the parish was, in olden times, the property of the De Morvilles, who were Constables of Scotland and Lords of Cunninghame.

Could it be Cunninghamshire?

What's the rest of the word or part of a word after Cunninghame?  Looks like it runs into something else ....

shire?

[Ruskie]

That was my first thought too. But it's not a shire is it?

Cunninghamshire - It used to be a county (shire).
Most if not all now in Ayrshire and Argyll and Bute.

Thanks all

I called off a Birth register page for a son from the marriage who was born in 1868 and it's clearly shown there as 'CUNNINGHAMHEAD' and was an estate.  It now belongs to the Laird Estates Group on Stewarton Road, Irvine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cunninghamhead_Estate
