Hi there Phil
Thanks for your msg. I have sent you a personal internal msg here as well.
Yes I would be very interested in any further information and or pictures inside the church yard etc.
I tried to arrange a visit through the church when I was in Hereford in 2014 but was unable to make contact with the people I had been told to contact. I think that a lot of the grave stones have deteriorated badly and been piled up in a corner somewhere.
I suspect that possibly G&T's son Christopher could also be buried there as he seems to have been actively involved as well. Where any other family members involved? William Edward was Anglican in New Zealand and we only became aware of the Brethren connection recently.
Yes I think I can give you contact details for Libby or otherwise for another Young / Eccles descendant that I communicate with in Australia.
There are some quite complex relationships/connections between the Young / Eccles / Deck / Lowe families.

Regards

Rod McAdam

Ayrshire / Sorn Burial Record Lookup : Reid Mid Hellier / Heliar / Helier
« on: Wednesday 06 August 14 04:12 BST (UK)  »
Does any one know if there are burial records for the Reid family as above.

Also does anyone know the correct spelling of their property name and perhaps its exact location.

Would the Merkland property just north east of sorn on this map

Also been in the family.

Margaret Reid daughter of John Reid of Mid Heliar married James McAdam of Waterhead in 1715

If anyone knows of or is a descendant of this Reid family I would be interested in making contact.

Regards

Rod

Apparently James and Susannah owned the above named property around 1760. I assume that that is the property shown on
http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=257500&y=619500&z=120&sv=cumnock&st=3&tl=Map+of+Cumnock,+East+Ayrshire+[City/Town/Village]&searchp=ids.srf&mapp=map.srf

(I don't seem to be able to past the whole link in clickable form but it can be cut and pasted)

on Glaisnock Rd and just off the A76.
It looks as if part of the property might be currently for sale... the stables.

Does anyone know anything about this property. How big it was.... is the 18th Century house still there or has it been replaced. Contact details for the current owner maybe? in private email please.
Any information would be appreciated.

In the 1871 Census the above were listed (hard to read) at "The Passage" or "In Passage"
The entry above is George's Sister Mrs Townsend at No 21 King St.
We assume that these properties would be more or less next door.
No 21 appears to be the premises occupied now or recently by Concern Universal. I think the other half of the house is occupied by Connells the Real Estate Agents.
There is an opening / Tunnel in the adjacent side of the Russell Baldwin building.
I understand that there is now a Dr's Surgery down this tunnel and across a courtyard.
George was a Dentist and had a family of about 8 children.
Could the tunnel in the Baldwin building conceivably have been described as The Passage or In Passage in 1871, and are there any premises in the back today which could conceivably have been a house of a large family and a Dentists Surgery.
