Today's Annick Lodge is situated in roughly the middle of an estate which bore the same name. Some old Scottish estates became villages owing to the fact that estate owners hired people to live on and care for the property. Here's an article about the estate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annick_Lodge_and_Greenville. Being that it's a Wikipedia article, you should try to verify the information by the references listed at the end of the article. However, there are also references to the estate of Annick Lodge at the website of the National Archives of Scotland. Go here - http://www.nas.gov.uk/onlineCatalogue/ - and search for Annick Lodge. You may want to limit the search to exclude the period after your relatives would have lived there. A couple of the Archives extracts confirm that the estate was owned by the Montgomeries at least as early as 1801.

Possibly just a piece of useless information, however just to say that there is a Burnhouse Ladies Curling Club and they play out of Greenacres Curling Venue.   Mary

Hello Lance, The Burnside you visited is about 11 miles north-west of Galston. Looking at the old maps, it doesn't seem to have been a farm, although there are certainly other farms in the vicinity. There is, or was, a Burnhouse near Galston, about half-a-mile south east, and is identified on old maps as a sawmill.

Hi Nancy, Could you tell me more about the time period and family of Catherine Wylie? I descend from Dorothy Wylie who was married to Robert Harris. They moved from Ayrshire to Donegal Ireland in the 1600's. She was probably born circa 1665. Robert Harris was the son of Edward Harris and Flora Douglas of the border clan, but we don't know Dorothy's parents.

Hello Listers, I visited Burnhouse “Village” in April, 1993 searching for ancestors while visiting Scotland. This Burnhouse was located in Beith parish and situated at the crossroads of highways A736 and B706. Is this in Galston? It was really a hamlet, but it was referred to locally as Burnhouse Village probably because of earlier more productive years. My great, great grandparents and my great grandparents lived here as noted in the 1871 census, until my great grandparents emigrated to Ontario, Canada in !873. These ancestors were usually referred to as “agricultural labourers” and I have always thought that they must have lived in Burnhouse and worked on nearby farms. I found a community of about twenty buildings at most. There was a Caravan shop which was the most enterprising building in town. We met up with Robert and Mary Wilson on the same main street. He was a contractor. Mary’s mother had been a McCluskie, but we were unable to ever find any connection with out ancestors. I have joined this discussion with the hopes that I may learn more about the possibility of Burnhouse being some kind of a farm. Thank you Kay in Edinburgh. Lance McCluskie, Ontario, Canada

Dear Friends, Meg Greenwood asks: "How large an area might 'BURNHOUSE' in Galston have been in its earlier days ? Google maps shows an irregularly shaped area with an X over one of the 2 dozen rooftops. I doubt this one house is 'Burnhouse', must be the area is called that. Am wanting to understand if Burnhouse had many residences or just a few, MURRAYs are hard to find and properly identify if the area is large." And Linda Norby points to a website mentioning 'Laigh Burnhouse'. This suggests Burnhouse may have been a fermtoun of some sort in the early 1700s and was enclosed during the eighteenth century to become more than one farm. Examples can be found all over Scotland of these divisions - such as laigh or low and high (e.g. High Pinmore and Low Pinmore), easter and wester, old and new, meikle or muckle (large or greater) and lesser, upper and nether (lower). By the mid-nineteenth century many of these would probably be distinct separate farms with a farmhouse and cottages and/or a bothy for employees - identifiable on early OS maps. Sometimes a small group of cottages in a hamlet remained after enclosure. Using the Old Statistical Account, Tom Devine argues in his 1994 book 'The Transformation of Rural Scotland' that by the 1790s enclosure was quite advanced in Ayrshire (pub John Donald, p 52). You might want to take a look at the statistical accounts for the relevant parishes. http://edina.ac.uk/stat-acc-scot/ Prof Charles Withers has written about these sources here: http://edina.ac.uk/stat-acc-scot/reading/intro.shtml This change in land organisation was part of a period of transformation, increased agricultural efficiency and increased production during which many Ayrshire farms came to specialise in dairy cattle (developing the brown and white Ayrshire breed) and dairy produce for the industrialised villages and towns (and once the railways were in place, for Glasgow). I didn't spot Burnhouse on the Roy map of 1752-55 (lowlands), but this doesn't mean it wasn't there http://maps.nls.uk/geo/roy/ It looks as if the Loudon estate was prominent in this area at that time as was Cessnock Tower. Burnhouse does appear on the 1860 first edition of the 6 inch OS (Ayrshire sheet XXIV). It has an old coal pit and a saw mill marked, so appears to be a small village. If you look at the neighbouring sheet there is Burnhousehill - a distinct farm (Ayrshire XXIII). I didn't manage to find the present day High Burnhouse (the livery yard) on the early OS map or the current one. The current OS 1:25,000 map shows only Burnhousehill and Burnhouse. The NLS maps are always worth browsing http://maps.nls.uk/index.html A helpful reference work on Scottish place names is the OS's 'Guide to Scots origins of place names in Britain' available from: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/freefun/didyouknow/placenames/index.html as a pdf. Burn is a word for a stream - so Burnhouse is quite a common name in Scotland as is Burnfoot. Best wishes and happy researching, Kay Edinburgh

Hi Would anyone have a subscription to the Ordnance Survey Names Book on Scotlands Places and could do a lookup for me please? The place I would like to be looked up is Garlaff T.P. in Ayrshire. Many thanks Kerrie [email protected]

Meg "Burnhouse" appears on the south side of Galston as a farm. This is form Phillips Ayrshire Street Atlas. I could not see any streets starting with "Blad?" and suspect that this street may have disappeared after the railway was closed. So you may need to contact the East Ayrshire Council to see, it they or the Burns Centre Library can help you.

Am wanting to understand if Burnhouse had many residences or just a few, MURRAYs are hard to find and properly identify if the area is large. Was it as large back in 1921 when this Death was recorded ? Am looking at the INFORMANT, John MURRAY residing Burnhouse, Galston. That reference is in the last line of the Death Registration below.....John [the Informant] was a brother of the William MURRAY whose wife was Mary MATTHEWS given as parents of the deceased in this 1921 Death. John had wed Sarah McLAUCHLAN in Kirkmaiden, Wigtownshire in 1870. John and Sarah may have taken in the small children of William MURRAY and Mary [MATTHEWS] who both died in Carlisle, late 1887. Or the family who took in the orphaned children could be the Robert Kelly MURRAY whose death follows..... ================= 1921 Deaths, Kilmarnock entry #15. Robert Kelly MURRAY, Railway Yardman, married to Jane AIRD. Died Jan 12, 1921 at the Kilmarnock Infirmary, usual residence 240 Blak? Railway Buildings, Hurlford aged 41. Parents were William MURRAY, Locomotive Driver deceased & Mary MATTHEWS deceased. Informant was John MURRAY, Uncle, Burnhouse, Galston. After his wife, Sarah McLAUCHLAN died in 1903, John MURRAY remarried in 1906 to Margaret McMURRAY. They had 3 children, Lily MURRAY born 1900, Gilbert MURRAY born 1908 and Andrew MURRAY born 1915. I find one MURRAY family at Burnhouse in the 1911 Census but family details don't fit as they should. John is the Head of the family and the wife being Margaret, there is a son, Robert age 3 on the 1911 Census, we can't yet find his circa 1908 birth. There IS a GILBERT born November 1907 to this couple. Is this Robert age 3 an Enumerator mistake and should be a GILBERT ? There is no name correction on the Birth Registration.
