St.Margaret's RC Churchyard,Ayr
« on: Friday 29 April 11 00:30 BST (UK) »
Hi,

Yesterday I was lucky to gain entry to the above churchyard which normally is protected by two sets of locked gates.I was not fortunate enough to find the headstone I was looking for on behalf of another Rootschatter.
But since access is not readily available I thought I would just photograph all the legible headstones while I was there.

I suppose we could add that to the list of " You know your addicted when........"

So if anyone thinks they may have an ancestor buried there just give me some details.Maybe you will be lucky.

Thanks for the look-up offer.   Most of my ancestors were married/christened there.   I don't expect they would be well off enough to have headstones, but - are there any McCormicks or McCormacks.   
Ayrshire: McCormick (mack); McFadzean; Kerr; Brown; Paton; McGregor; McDonald; Moffat; Connel; Bone
Dumfries/Lanarks: (pre-1840) McDonald; Moffat; Bone; Hamilton; Hyslop; Sandiland; Bredwood; Kerr; Brown
Ireland (pre-1820) McCormick (Monaghan)
