Hello All,
I was in Paisley Library doing family research last October and spent two days working my way through references in the Cairn. My ancestors in Lochwinnoch are Crawfords, Orrs and many many other related familes. I was unable to determine any family ties to Andro but I plan to look further.
My Orrs were the Kaim bunch so I ended up photographing about 40 pages of the Cairn related to that family. Much of it had already been reduced to family trees by my grandfather many years ago but I was overjoyed to find the source. Andro Crawfurd was said to have received much of his local gossip from one of the Orr ladies.
I am currently researching 17th century Crawfords in Lochwinnoch, trying to link the various lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated. See my little contribution to the village website for a bit of history.
