James Borland of Trabboch Colliery d Dalnashean, port appin, argyll 16 july 1956 in his 99th year.
Also 2 wives Isabella Johnstone Tennant d 9 feb 1886 aged 36
margaret Sommerville died 3 Barns St Ayr 21 oct 1938 aged 70.
their son Matthrew McGill Borland d infancy. Wm Dunlop Borland MA FEIS. dau Mary Anderson d 28 aug 1957
I hope some of this is a match for you.

Hi Revmother,
Sorry forgot about dates.
Unfortunately none of these are the James Borland I'm looking for but thanks for checking for me. He's maybe buried in Mauchline Cemetry as his parents are in Mauchline Churchyard and I know he's not there. It is possible the first JB could be his son but I'll need to do some more checking.
Thanks again.

Could you please see if there are any with the name Hendren at St Quivox,
many thanks

Hi Maureeen
sorry, no one of that name in any of the cemeteries I have access to. They do not include "modern" burials. So it would depend what date you wre lokoing for. But as I say - nothing this time.
Good hunting!

Hi revmother
I'd be grateful to know if there is anything in St. Quivox for a William Downie & his wife Elizabeth Wilson. Probably in the early 1800s (they had children born 1775-1780). I'm also interested in a Julia Downie & what relation, if any, she was to William & Elizabeth - she was alive in 1841, aged 70.
Regards
Blanched

Hi Blanched
All the Downie memorials are more recent than the ones you asked for. But I'll give them to you anyway because they might be of interest.
St Quivox 1st
1) Mathew Downie d 9 june 1920 aged 60,
wife helen Stewart d 16 feb 1947 age 85
their infant children - Thomas, Christina, Mathew. That is so sad.
2) erected by James Bush for his wife Janet Black died 10 july 1881 aged 63 and her son Andrew Downie d 20 march 1883 aged 35
3) in memory of Jane Downie widow of William Downie b sep 1758 d 4 sept 1844 erected by her son Peter Ballantyne of Newark State of New jersey usa.
4) Elizabeth Downie wife of John mcCulloch d 29 may 1922 aged 61. (She must have been the 2nd wife because his 1st wife and hoards of a family are there too.)
5) Robert Bell Kirkland d 23 sept 1938 aged 81, husband of Agnes Campbell Downie d 16 feb 1942 aged 79. also their dau Agnes d 17 feb 1943 age 55.
In the Newton green cemetery in Ayr itself three are 2 Downie's
1) John Boyd native of Troon d Glasgow 1 oct 1876 aged 55
wife mary Downie d Glasgow 17 april 1881 aged 58
(it has the same scripture verse as one of the above)
2) James MArr d 22 sept 1832 aged 62,
his wife Margaret Downie d 4 dec 1863 aged 86,
their children - quite a lot - if you want them let me know.
And there is one memorial in Wallacetown cemetery
1) Erected by Elizabeth pearson in memory of her father James pearson d 4 july 1868 aged 66,
also her mother Annie Downie d 24 may 1886
who are Interred in Stair cemetery
and then various other relatives - again, let me know if you want them.
I hope there is something there for you to go on. I gave you the others because they are older and you might have some connections for them.
Here's hoping!
good hunting

Thanks revmother. I'll take a close look at them but on first glance they don't seem to relate to mine - altho' I guess there's a connection somewhere in the mists of time.

Hello and thanks for the kind offer :)
Can you please look under Wallacetown and St Quivox and let me know if you see anything under the family name : Lynch
Heather

Hi Heather
I'm really sorry there is nothing for Lynch in St Quivox, Wallacetown or Newton Green.
But there is one entry in the Tarbolton book - don't know if it's any good to you -
Charles Lynch d 10 feb 1973 aged 71 beloved husband of Maitland McKay
Hope this helps

Hi RevMother2
Many thanks for your kind offer. Would you be so kind as to check for a John McCreadie who died at 9PM, 2nd August 1879? John was 31 years old and died less than one month after the birth of his son. The location and cause of death were recorded as “On board No. 1 tug boat in Ayr Harbour” and “Crushed to death under the lever of an engine” respectively. The family domicile was recorded as “8 Allison Street, Newton (sic) Ayr”. To date, I have been unable to determine if John was buried in Ayr or Ballantrae (I thought his father may have taken the remains to Ballantrae as he [father] was living in Ballantrae and “Informant” on Death Extract). I have checked with North and South Ayrshire and all the usual cemeteries in between but cannot locate John's final resting place.
Kindest regards and thank you.

Many thanks anyway. Although we share same surname and county of birth, I am determined to locate his final resting place.

DOH! I intended to put "Although we share the same surname and county of birth .. we are not related .. but I am determined to locate his final resting place.

Hi
A story like that would be in one of the local papers. Not sure how you go about seeing them. It would most likely be the Ayrshire Post.
Maybe their website would tell you. I think it is also available in the local refernce library - local collection. But that's not much good to you, is it?
revmother
-
Hi Q98
I've just looked on GenesReunited.co.uk and a girl has a John McCreadie born Girvan in 1848. I've emailed her to see if this is the same man as the one you are searching for. I'll let you know if I get anything back from her.
revmother

Hi Again :)
You've got me going on tis story now!
Why don't you post something with his name and death story on Ayrshire Board, with his name and tragic death date in the title. It might trigger something from someone on RC.

Hi :)
Have you found the family on IGI? I have just got him and going back about 3 generations.
he was born in Ballantrae (down in the south of the county) although his wife was from newton.
Maybe he is buried in Ballantrae?
If you want these details give me your email address in a personal message and I'll send you what I find.

Hi could you please see if there's anything listed for James Saunders (or Sanders) who died 18 Dec 1860. He was buried in Wallacetown Churchyard, I'm particularly interested to know if anyone was buried with him.
Thanks.

Hi
The only Sanders in Wallacetown cemetery inscription book says:
Erected by Jane Brown in memory of Hugh Sanders her husband late farmer in Content d 22 Mar 1870 aged 45; also of their son Hugh d 5 aug 1870 aged 19.
I can see that this is not directly what you were hoping for, but I hope it may help

Hi thanks for looking anyway. Presumably there was nothing listed under Saunders either?

Hi revmother2
can you please tell me if there is any Davidsons buried in Newton Green as it has a large gate and a very high wall to deter people in there early sixties from shinnying over .........
many thanks
Bobby D.
-
Hi Bobby D
You don't have to shin over - you can call the guys at the local crematorium to get access! But it would not be helpful because I can't see any Davidsons there anyway. It is of quite limited timespan. Loads in Wallacetown cemetery 9 entries - its locked too, but again it is possible to ask for entry. If you give me some names and dates, I'll see if these are your family, rather than type them all out just now. (but I can if it proves they are yours!)
sorry, I'm being vague, I'm really tired today. But I'll look again when I'm more awake and more time.

Dear revmother, Hello. Looking for names with a familial connection - KENNEDY / BARCLAY / STEVENSON /STRACHAN timeframe 1860s-->
Briefly I have a William KENNEDY born 1842 Irvine died 12 Mar 1922 down a mine Redburn No. 2 Pit, Eglinton Iron Co, Scotland from falling stones after a fire damp explosion aged 30 years. He had married Jessie Kor STEVENSON daughter of James STEVENSON and Jane(t) STRACHAN born 1843 Irvine died 1922 Stirling, Falkirk. The couple had 4 children: James KENNEDY born 1865 St.Quivox, Jane Aird KENNEDY born 1867 Tarbolton, Jessie KENNEDY born 1870 Elba St, St.Quivox (I think this one died young), next child also called Jessie KENNEDY born 1872 Irvine.
Thanks when you have the time. Appreciated.

Hi Alison
I've had a look through and I can't see your relatives. Stevenson and Kennedy are common names in this area, but none appeared to be yours. Sorry

Hi,
If you can have a look for Morrison's, Neish's (Nish's), or MacAdam's in Wallacetown cemetery?

Hi revmother !
Do you know if there are any Rae's or Mossey's in Tarbolton or Coylton Cemetarys ?
-
Do you have any information on the LATTA families of Ayrshire? Any tombstone information?
-
I would be grateful if you could have a look for any Harpers and Greens in St Quivox or Wallacetown. Specifically David Harper who died sometime between 1844 and 1851, and his wife Sarah Green who died in Dalry in 1870, but could likely have been buried with her husband. Also Sarah's parents, John Green and Sarah Ball, who would have died before 1855?
Thank you

Hi Revmother,
I was wondering if you could check the Coylton burials.
Specifically I'm searching for a Helen Richmond whom died about 1838.
Her maiden name was Munn.
Also I'm searching for any Munn, McMunn,or William Micklemun whom all died at Coylton but maybe too early for records.
Hope this is not too trouble.
Kind regards,

hi folks
sorry I haven't replied for a while. It is a slow process going through the books of inscriptions looking up all the references to a particular name - especially if the name is a popular local name!
bear with me and I get round to it sometime. (I work full time in my job).
The more specific you can be with dates and places the easier it would be for me.
Thanks

Hi revmother,
If you have a spare minute could you have a look and see if there's a headstone for a Richard McPicke/McPike aged 46 who died in 1859? According to his Death cert he was buried in St Quivox churchyard.
He was a pauper so I'm not holding my breath ::)
Cheers,
Derek.

Hi there, I'm looking for St Quivox churchyard info and came upon your posting of last year.
Is there a record of the death of a woman named Armstrong, death possibly from 1850? This wasn't her real name but was given to replace her Italian name.
She was brought back to the area, and looked after, by the Oswald family after their butler, William McCrone, died en route from Italy. This woman was his de facto Italian wife.
William McCrone was my GGGgrandfather. His Scots son was illegitimate so there is no record other than family lore.
I'd be very grateful for a hand over this brick wall!
Regards, Kathryn
