Puzzling over the location of Brayhead (sic) which seems to be either in Dreghorn or Dundonald parish depending on which part of a doc you are reading. The Kirk Session minutes for Dundonald, from the start in 1602 right up to 1612 show Charles Bankhead in Brayhead as an elder. On several occasions it is given as Brayhead Dreghorn which begs the question , could an elder live outside the parish ?
13/9/1607 "James Bankhead in Brayhead of Dreghorn .....accused of fornication with Margaret Boyd..." The next month Isobell Bankhead in Crosbie (which IS in Dundonald) is among a group denounced from the pulpit - in April of the following year she is "in Brayhead". The testament dative of John Fulton in Dreghorn dated Feb 1616, records both Charles and James in Brayhead (CC9/7/12/9).
(Fulton was married to Janet Bankhead, probably the sister of James in Brayhead)
