Byers Family St. Quivox. Ayrshire
« on: Tuesday 24 May 11 10:48 BST (UK) »
Can you Help?.......  1841c.  has William (circa 1803 Ireland) & Elizabeth Byers (circa 1803 Scotland)  with children William (1826), Elizabeth (1828),  Hugh  (1831), Janet (1835), Joseph (1837), and John (1840) living in John St. St. Quivox, Ayrshire. They were a family of Shoemakers.
 Children William, Elizabeth, Hugh and Joseph were in Liverpool by 1849. But can't find anything in Scotland after 1841 for parents William & Elizabeth, or for siblings Janet and John.
Does anyone have any knowledge of gravestones in this area for the Byers family relevant to the dates given and whether there are descendants of Janet and John.
I haven't been able to trace a marriage record for William Byers to Elizabeth so don't have her maiden name either.
I have a contact in Ayshire who has visited the graveyard but has always found it locked.
I'm at 'that' brick wall again.......if you have a sledgehammer.......!
Many Thanks for taking the time to read this

Hi,

There is a marriage for a Janet Byers to John Brown om 14/10/1856, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.

If you find the marriage on SP then you will get the info on her parents to confirm.

Also this seems to be Elizabeth's baptism in 1828.

Elizabeth Byres
Baptism/Christening Date 31 Aug 1828
Baptism/Christening Place Ayr, Ayr, Scotland
Birth Date 14 Aug 1828
Father's Name William Byres
Mother's Name Elizabeth Houston
