Lanarkshire / Re: clark family riccarton, hurlford
« on: Saturday 23 November 13 13:02 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Stu... Riccarton is the parish and covers the areas in south end of Kilmarnock and Hurlford... There are cemeteries at Riccarton Churchyard (Kilmarnock) and out on the road  (A71) between Bellfield and Hurlford...by Torrance House - on Googles Maps it shows as Riccarton Cemetery - I have a lot of family buried there...  There are 2 parts to that cemetery the auld part within the brick walls and the newer part outside the walls...   you can e-mail Burialadmin@East-Ayrshire.gov.uk for help.

There are several clarks there - it is a fairly common name around Hurlford and Kilmarnock. 

Did you have any addresses - and have you searched the Old Parish Records (OPR)  in ScotlandsPeople ? ...Bill
