Hi,
Can anyone help,  I'm hoping to find the graves of my great grandparents who lived in Girvan.  John McKie born in 1856 and died in 1931 and his wife Marion Purdie McKie (nee Oliver) born 1859, died in 1934.
Any information would be great.
Thanks Suejay

Thank you very much for the information that you have given me, it is very much appreciated and it has certainly given me something to go on.

[ambyrne1]

I am sorry Suejay.

I checked all four books that i have and cannot find John or Marion.

[Suejay]

Thank you for taking the time to search this for me. 
Is it possible that you could look up Janet McDougall (nee Highet) widow of Peter who died in Girvan 25.4.1917 - her parents were Alexander and Mary
Regards
Suejay

We have a Thomas Lindsay Halbert, son of Robert born Girvan about 1810 -12  Had a brother James and a sister Mary.
They moved not sure what time or when to New Castle on Tyne.  hit a stone wall.  James apparently went to Australia.  Thomas was on a whaling ship possibly   the Elizabeth.  Looking for Halbert descendants in Girvan.

Please can you help, much appreciated.
