Hi RJ-Paton - I see that your are researching the Barr Family. I am also interested in this line. My Wife Janet ( nee Kerr ) has a Janet Barr born about 1818-1820 in Kilmarnock, this Janet Barr is my wife`s Great Grandmother, she married James Clachan on 23 July 1852 in Kilmarnock. I do not have any further information on Janet Barr prior to her marriage and would like to find her parents and possible siblings. I have a little more information on the Clachan side and a multitude on the Kersland & Auchengree Ker/Kerrs as James and Janet`s daughter Janet Clachan born 24 January, 1859 in Dreghorn married William Kerr of Beith. If you have an interest in this Janet Barr would you have any further information. I have very recently had contact with katrina42 of this site who is research an Isabel Hendrie born 1709 in Kilmarnock, she married Hugh Muir in 24 December 1730 in Kilmarnock, she died in 1747 , there were 7 children to the marriage. Katrina42 is also researching the Kilmarnock Barr line.
