Hi Caroline

I have a book covering Dunlop (Kilmarnock and Loudoun District) but there are no Stewarts buried there according to the MI's.  However, there are Stewarts in Stewarton Churchyard, Fenwick, High Kirk Kilmarnock, Laigh Kirk Kilmarnock, Kilmarnock Cemetery and St Andrews Kilmarnock.

I have Stewart rellies from there too (hence the purchase of the book) so PM me with who you are looking for and I'll get back to you - perhaps we have some in common

Hi Elizabeth

The Pringles connect to my line via Helen Pringle b 1777 who m James Forrest.  Helen's parents were Thomas Pringle (d 1830 Haddington) and Isabel Knox (d 1820 Haddington).  There's a headstone at St Mary's which mentions Thomas late provost of Haddington, Isobel and children William, Thomas, Janet and George.  If I discover any Elizabeth Pringles in the family I'll PM you.

Thanks for that - what a lovely bonus of 20 credits   

Hi Grossan - checked out your lookups and info as follows:

Ref 685/2/47 FR 68 St Cuthbert's Edinburgh
John Milne, Compositor residing in <illegible address - big blob on film> and Elizabeth Barth residing in No 50 Buccleuch Street, both in this Parish, youngest lawful daughter of Peter Barth, Compositor, also residing there, having been 3 several times duly and regularly proclaimed in the Parish Church of St Cuthberts in order to marriage and no objections offered.  Married at Edinburgh on the 4th July 1854 by the Rev Berkeley Addison of St Johns E Chapel

Ref 484/1 FR 259  Kippen Baptisms  (this was in a table format rather than narrative) - 16 June 1793  father John McLauchlan, mother Katharine Macfarlane, child bap - William  Witnesses - Congregation

Hope this helps - there's quite a few details in the first one which may be useful, but you never know how much info you will find in OPR's, as the second one shows!

Merry Christmas when it comes!

Jo
