You did however say that it was possibly near the door and there are a couple of headstones near the door that are just impossible to read as the writing just seems to have been worn away. The only Alexander Murray I did see had buried his grandson Thomas Templeton who had drowned. Sorry I could not see it but if you need any more help here just give me a shout.

Scotlandspeople is so easy to use - you really should give it a go, as you could find out so much more than from Ancestry. You can see the original registration record rather than a transcript that leaves out an awful lot of information, such as marriage witnesses. I really would encourage you to take a look at it - for a very reasonable charge you can find out so much!

Could someone who is on Ancestry, tell Allan and Lauren that at the Local Studies section of the Carneigie Library in Ayr (town) should have books on this cemetery, which was do in the 1980's. From the one that I saw in the North Ayrshire Library, they had a map of the graves locations.

Hi Lois, I have been onto Ancestry.com and see that there is a family tree under "Walton Family Tree" which is public viewing to ancestry subscribers. Noted is your Knox family with numerous photos of the family including your George along with dates of birth/death etc. and looks well sourced. I would be happy to send you a copy of the manifest or other details that you may need from Ancestry.

Hello Listers, My grandfather George Knox b. 1878 came to Canada in 1899 according to the 1901 Census for BC/Canada. His father also George Knox died in Kilbirnie in 1896 leaving his wife Mary Gillies Knox with a number of underage children. My grandfather was their eldest. This weekend I tried to find my great grandmother and the various children during the FREE weekend at Ancestry.uk. The only find suggests that Mary was possibly married at Kilbirnie to Hugh McWhinnie. Four known Knox children were found in the 1901 household along with an unknown Hugh Knox aged 8 and perhaps born 1893. I did not get to the 1911 Census. I know that I should try Scotlands People but I have no experience searching at that site. Is there anyone that could assist me with both Census details and the possible marriage to Hugh McWhinnie and also the child Hugh Knox possibly born to Mary and George Knox and possibly died before her emigration. With confirmation of these various events I could try to proceed and purchase the relevent copies. The other Knox children in 1901 were: John 26, Agnes Boyd 14, William 12 and Matthew 10. These children eventually all came to BC. I might have a passenger list showing Mrs. B Knox 56 and Agnes B Knox 26 travelling to New Westminster 'to sons' but the Ancestry,com copy sadly does not have details of date or ship name etc. Must do better next time I have access! >Notes from Bowell Index at New Westminster Library: > >MARY GILLIES KNOX: 482 Amess St., New Westminster B.C. > Born 13 Sept 1857 in > Kilbirnie, Scotland > Died 7 Sept 1935 at the age of 77-11-25 > Buried Ocean View Bur.

My 3xgt grandmother was Elizabeth Logan born about 1795 in Straiton, Ayrshire. I believe her to be the daughter of John Logan & Elizabeth Kerr, with siblings John, William, Mary and another name I do not know. Elizabeth married Robert Craigie born about 1800 in Rutherglen. They married in Hamilton in 1825 and in 1838 came to Australia on board the "William Roger" which was quarantined at North Head in Sydney because of Typhus on board. Elizabeth died there leaving 4 young children. I would like to trace her family in Scotland if possible. Anyone else sharing this line I would be happy to exchange details. June
