Lots of spelling variations to name Esther as we are seeing above www.whatsinaname.net/php/search.php?action=search2&search_name=esther

The address of "Dublin, Lesmahagow" that Monica found probably refers to Dublin Row, which was in Kirkfieldbank in Lesmahagow parish.

Thank you, Lizci  Certainly reinforces that Kirkbankfield residence. Esther and family looked to have lived in the locality for a good long stretch.

Hi Monica,
Thank you for all your help and hard work.   I am still a little confused though. As what I see from John Cunningham's Marriage and death, Johns father Robert Cunningham would of died in between 1866 & 1876.
The marriage of Esther smith & William Hay was in 1846. John Cunningham was born 1843-1844. It looks like Esther Smith and William Hay had a child in 1856. Was there a divorce between Robert Cunningham & Esther Smith ?  I did not see a John with the Hays. Could John be illegitimate ?
I did find a Esther Smith & Robert Cunningham (weaver) in Angus Dundee also a death on Esther in Angus Dundee on Scotlandspeople.  I am not sure if this is them because I can only find them with a daughter, no John.

Thanks again Ziggy2
