Richard Gibson [labourer on son's death cert] married Janet Gillies on 8 Nov 1796. They had six children in St Quivox, most well documented. The youngest was born in 1815.
Could anyone help with the following, please:
Richard Gibson
1. Date and place of birth. [ Probably in 1770s]
2. Name/s of his parents.
3. Date and place of death. [ Probably before 1841, can't find him in the census ]
4. Does he have a gravestone.
Janet Gibson, m s Gillies.
Same list for her as for Richard.
Here's hoping ! :)

Hi
I see that their fist daughter was baptised in Dreghorn:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XTVX-P62
so could this be Richard's bpt:

However there is also this one:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/XBLS-75S
Given their children's names, this could well be Janet:

with Janet going home for the first child's birth/bpt.

Hi Again
Some online trees show:
his birth as 1771 in St Quivox.
his birth 1778, Craigie, Father - William (my second link)
his birth 'about 1778', Craigie
Similar multiples for Janet.
The problem is the locations - see parish map here: http://www.scotlandsfamily.com/parish-map-ayr.htm
Both Craigie and Dreghorn are reasonably close to St Quivox; Craigie being adjacent. Do you have a more detailed address in the baptisms of any of their children?

Hi Gadget
Thanks for the suggestions. I will follow them up.
Still hope someone knows about the deaths/ grave/s, as may have better information on them.
Am hoping eldest son Richard of Mauchline, Merchant & Inn Keeper would have erected one. It is probably in St Quivox, as they seems to have spent their married life there.
The children I know of from Richard and Janet were all born in St Quivox and are
Richard Born 5/09/1798 Bap. 6/09/1798
David Born 25/05/1802 Bap. 30/05/1802
Janet Born 26/01/1807 Bap 27/01/1807 Rather a gap there!
Margaret Born 22/11/1808 Bap 25/11/1808
John Born 26/03/1811 Bap 28/03/1811
William Born 30/09/1815 Bap 2/10/1815

I think that you've overlooked the first child, Margaret, who was baptised in Dreghorn in 1797. I think she probably died as there is a later Margaret. The names of parents are the same. See snip from the 1797 Dreghorn OPRs .
It also might be worth PMing JulieAnn for possible MI St Quivox- See http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,292912.0.html I only have the South Ayrshire ones.

Sorry if I gave the impression I was ignoring Margaret born in Dreghorn, I intend to follow up Ritchie, Janet & Margaret through Scotlandspeople, and try to see if they are possibly the ones in St Quivox.
It was very kind of you to send the excerpt for me.
I do find it odd that Richard is called Ritchie in that entry as the St Q Richard and all his descendents of that name [5] used the full Richard at all times, but that doesn't mean it is not the same man.
I will also definitely check out the MIs re St Quivox, thanks for that link too.
However I am rather snowed under just now so it will be a few days before I will have time enough to do so.
I appreciate the interest and trouble you are taking to help. :)
Cheers
