Hi List ,
Has any one a Richard Lennox please ?
Londonderry /
Richard Came to Ayrshire after 1879 and said he was from Londonderry his father was Richard Lennox his mother MARGARET HAGAN ....although I believe she may have been a Sarah Pickering unless that was his step mother
He was baptised in **Woods Chapel** I cant make out the place sorry
Richard was born about 1857 and died in Glasgow Feb 7th 1933 having wed Agnes Dunn daughter of Hugh Dunn and Jane Mc Meekan ..
Anyone have a link to Richard Please .
Thanks M.

If you do an IGI parent search using Richard Lennox and Sarah Pickering, it returns a number of children born to them in at what is recorded as Aughrim, Woods Chapel, Londonderry, from about 1849 to 1855 (your 1857 birth for Richard is not there but that is not unusual with IGI records).
