Ayrshire / Re: Leiper family in Aucheneross,New Cumnock
« on: Friday 21 March 08 23:55 GMT (UK)  »

"I only ask because  the only Auchenross I can find is in Perthshire. The only Leipers at the time specified are in Lanarkshire.  You are referring to the New Cumnock area which is in Ayrshire."

I have only just joined RootsChat so apologise if I have not followed the correct conventions about replying.
There is an Auchincross farm on the Ordnance Survey map about 4 km west of New Cumnock village. The Mormon transcript of the 1881 census spells this as Auchencross so this may well be the Aucheneross referred to.
I have not had time yet to transcribe what I have got about the Leiper family from Drumboy but will do so soon. There seem to have been 12 children born between 1812 and 1835 to William Leiper and Jean Hamilton, but only 5 died young. Thee youngest was the John Leiper who became a minister. I'm not sure tey if there is any connection to the various other Leiper families mentioned in the thread.
