One Name Studies: H to M / Re: McLarty family Ayrshire, Scotland

Hi,
Thank you for your reply to my posts.
I think you're right that we're connected somehow! The Samuel Mclarty in my family history had parents named James and Elizabeth. James was born to Malcolm and Janet and had siblings, one of whom was Marion. They lived in High Street, Ayr. By the 1851 census, James has a young family of his own and Marion is living with her Mother (Malcolm presumably has died) and working as a dressmaker. Does this sound like your Marion?
Have still got a lot of delving to do and i keep getting sidetracked by other branches of my family. Would be nice to compare notes though. I still have family in Ayr,
I look forward to your reply.

Hello - thank you so much for replying. If I've worked it out right your grandfather Malcolm was my great great uncle! It's funny to think that my Grandpa Robert was Malcolm's nephew even though Robert was 3 years older than him, but Nicholas and Samuel were quite prolific in babymaking it seems!! Mary had Robert out of wedlock so he would've been brought up in his very early years with the rest of the McLartys in Dalmellington. She married into the McTurk family when he was 5 eventually moving to a farm in Maybole. Robert had three half siblings (the elder girl was named Nicholas) but kept the name Mclarty. My Dad was Robert's eldest child, William, and I was a McLarty too till I married. Growing up, I only ever met the Mcturks and no other McLartys as Mary had died before I was born, which is why I'm researching the family history.
My grandpa lived in Ayr as far back as I remember and my Dad was from there too. I 'm from Hamilton but now live in Glasgow!! It's great to hear from a distant relative.
With best wishes and thanks. :)

Hi Everyone,
Have been researching my paternal grandfather's family history. He was Robert McLarty born in 1903 in Dalmellington. His mother was Mary McCutcheon McLarty born in 1882. I was amazed to find that Mary had 12 siblings - Elizabeth, David, Isabella,George, Barbara, Janet, James, Nicholas, Samuel, Agnes, Malcolm and Jean - all younger than her. The family lived mainly in Dalmellington although also in Straiton. Mary herself married William A Mcturk and settled in Maybole.
I wondered if anyone else has looked at the McLarty family? There must be a lot of McLarty decendants still in Ayrshire.
Thanks and regards.

Thank you so much for this!
You have given me loads to look into.
It's a bit daunting when you first start, but I'm delighted
with the info you've provided.
Thanks for the welcome.

Hi,
My grandmother was Mary Scobbie born, the youngest of 7 children, at 40 Roberts Wynd, Falkirk in 1901. Her parents were Charles and Jane (nee Binnie). Her mother died when she was 4 and her father remarried the year later and the 1911 census shows the new family living in Wilsons Close. Have found out quite a lot about her, but she spent most of her life in Warwickshire, England where she died in 1970 and I believe she had lost touch with her family in Scotland.
I made a trip to Falkirk recently and got caught up in the history. It made me wonder if there are any descendants of this side of my family still living in the area. My Mother and Aunt (her daughters)are in their 80's now and know very little about their family history.
My Gran's siblings were Susan, William, Andrew, Jane Laird, Janet and Charles.
Can anyone help?
Thank you.
