The only Thomas baptised WEST KILBRIDE was much earlier, below. There are a couple of others in the County but quite distant from the location you mention, how do you know he was born there?

Was given the information by my mother in law, but no documentation.

Thanks for replying, Thomas Orbie Hunter is related to the Lairds, so I dont think there will be a connection. Peter Larns Darcy father was definetly a Thomas, was on the marriage certificate. Back to the drawing board, thanks again.

I think you might mean West Kilbride in Ayrshire? It's not far from Hunterston Castle (maybe a couple of miles). I manage a DNA kit that links back to the Hunters of Hunterston. Have you done any DNA testing?
