Place name in Colmonell Ayrshire - looks like Laglartry
« on: Monday 07 August 23 08:57 BST (UK) »

Here are two images from Colonell baptism register 1778 and 1780. I can’t work out the place name in the entries. It looks like Laglartry, but I can’t find that on any maps. I’m hoping someone with local knowledge will know where this place is.

The parents Gavin and Sarah were agricultural labourers so it might be the name of a farm.

Advertisment
Ayr Advertiser, 27 April 1882
The Grass on the Farm of Liglartrie ....; apply Peter Cowan, Liglartrie, Daljarrock

Also advertised "Liglartrie, Pinwherry". These adverts are 1850 onwards.

Possibility?

Thank you so much. I particularly like the description of the farm. I’m assuming that my PARKERs were farm labourers there. You’ve also alerted me to some new online sources which is great.

Croeso/You're welcome.
Scottish PO Directories, Scotland Places and Old maps are certainly "must haves."
