Hi
Thanks for your offer.
I would love it if you can find any information on the following in KILMARNOCK
Robert Service CAMPBELL
He was born about 1816
married to a Margaret HOWIE in September 1841.
I don't have any other details than that, so anything extra you can add would be fantastic.

Hello
You kindly replied to a request I posted on the 9th November regarding Roxburgh's in Galston. I have finally managed to work out that the John Galston (b1826 d 1897) is probably a branch of my tree! He seems to be the elder brother of my gg granddad. I have his baptism as 11/9/1826 so it seems to tie in. Was there any other info? His parents were John and Agnes (born Gebbie) and his siblings were Grizel, Jean, Elisabeth and James
-
This is the full entry;
John Roxburgh born 11-9-1828 died 3-9-1897 aged 25 years Inspector of Poor, Galston, wife Mary Young born 17-1-1827 died 20-3-1880, daughter Catherine Young Roxburgh [ husband Thomas Richmond] b 7-8-1875 died 2-2-1904, daughter Mary Young Roxburgh born 30-5-1851 died 29-3-1916, daughter Agnes Gebbie Roxburgh born 14-12-1879 died 25-12-1925 Hope this helps
are you sure the other MI I sent you is not related to this family [ It was erected by a John Roxburgh of Ballarat, Victoria, Australia;
bob

Thanks very much for the information. The other details you found may well be related as well. I'm rather new to all this and it takes me a while to catch up and tie all the information together! I may well contact you again as it dawns on me where they fit in!
Thanks once again

Hi, Bob,
Would much appreciate if you can tell me if there are any records of Fairs buried in the Kilmarnock to Galston area.

The Fair family moved from Kilmarnock ~1850 through Crougar to Galston.
Thanks,

Hi Bob
Would you please check in Kilmarnock MIs for John Stewart b c1767 and wife Elizabeth Wilson bc 1771, they also had a child Elizabeth b 1799 that died before 1801.
Thanks
Karen

Bob, I don't have any requests about MIs at the moment, but could have soon if you are able to help me with some local knowledge. I am trying to trace my wife's family, and I'm getting stuck with locations. The 1901 Census gives relatives as living at Boyd Street (at least I think that is what it says) Loudoun, but a slightly later Marriage Certificate gives the address as Boyd Street (definitely) Galston.
From your local knowledge could you tell me if these are the same street? I can't find Loudoun on Autoroute, but it does show Loudoun Golf Club as quite close to Galston.
I am also having problems with the fact that the Census shows a place of birth as Catrine, but there are no records of any births of anybody with that name being born at the corresponding time. There are however 2 births with the correct name, and withing the right time period in Sorn. I know Sorn and Catrine are fairly close together, so do you think it likely that a person born around 875 in Sorn, could give there place of birth as Catrine on a Census form? I also have a Birth Certificate from 1899 showing the address as Brewland Street, Galston, which is again not far from Boyd Street. As you can see, if I can identify the locations correctly, I could well be coming back to you to check for MIs.
Hope you can help me,
Regards,
MalcolmS60.
