Hi Meg, Your Murray account is interesting as Murray is another if my interests. I have only recently come across this site while researching Cunningham families in Ayrshire. It will give you a picture of Burnhouse, Galston. Also mentioned on this page is Laigh Burnhouse, I would think that is AKA Little Burnhouse. Possibly another List Member may have more information in this Hope this helps Meg.

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. 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.

This will bring up the Dalry website for FamilySearch.org which will let you jump to Dalry, St Palladius Catholic Church where you find a history of the parish and the Church, and then will let you access Scotland Civil Registration which is located at: www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk. This will all be explained. Parish Records from pre-1855 in Scotland (called the OPRs) are now centralized at ScotlandsPeople, along with ALL the Statutory Registrations AFTER 1855. You must register to obtain a password (no charge) and then you are free to purchase credits to access all the records for a reasonable charge in order to view and copy the results of your searches. There is a separate listing for Catholic Church records that are pre-1855 and then records are totally integrated. E.g. to obtain the marriage record you wanted, you will look under Catholic Registers (Marriages) for 1845 to find Paisley, St.Mirin's and then make your search. I suspect that since St Palladius was not built until 1848, until that time they were served from Paisley, Renfrewshire. I am not sure if the actual marriage was performed in Dalry or Paisley, but it was registered at St Mirin's Paisley. I believe the baptisms were performed at Dalry and recorded under the Parish of "Ayrshire" until 1848 when the church was actually built. I found the baptisms of both Ellen and James in Dalry but the latter's baptism was not registered until 1848 at St Palladius' Church. I hope this answers most of your questions re. information.

Hugh was the son of John Wight b. abt. May 1760 in Old Cumnock(or area) who married 14 Jun. 1793 Margaret Muir. John was the son of Robert Wight and Ann Wier. Hugh Wight married Catherine Brown 10 April 1829 in Ochiltree, Ayr. Catherine was b. abt. 1806 in Ochiltree, and was probably the daughter of John Brown (b. 1776 d. 1863) and his wife Mary Kerr (d. 1828)- some have in their genealogy, a different Catherine as the daughter of these people, but the data fits better with the Wight family. Hugh and Catherine emigrated to Oxford Co./Brant Co. Ontario, Canada shortly after their marriage (all their children were born in Canada). Their family Bible still exists (the cover is embossed with their names on it). Their deaths are recorded in the Bible. Also, a picture from Scotland survives (I believe ! of the Brown side of the family). Would love to correspond with anyone connected to the family.

Not just Auchinleck. The same is now true for /_*all*_/ Ayrshire parishes except Ayr itself. The 1851 census data are still on the *_/freecen/_* database, but you can't access them directly via the parish menu - only by performing an all-Ayrshire search. All parishes except Ayr now link only to the 1841 census. This search function defect is new, and hopefully soon to be rectified.

I have a copy of Samuels naturalization , a copy of the autobiography of Neil Hart and another of Donald Cameron who had Agnes Cameron who married Malcolm Malloy. Who had Christina Malloy who married Samuel, who had Thomas and so forth. I am willing to scan some of these documents, I also have a biography of a Larry White, but after speaking to Matilda Sprout in Kipling have learned that is a relation on my Grandmother,s side. I have taken this information and have found many of them on the census. There is some confusion with the Donald and Daniel of Christina ans Samuel. They are not the same person. In fact, Donald was referred to as Dr. D C Hart. Daniel on the other hand passed away at the age of four years. So much to share but looking for someone researching this family to share information. I also have the Cemetary where Christina and Thomas lienand will be going there sometime this ! summer.

The only website on which you can view original Scottish birth, marriage and death certificates is the governmental website www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk It is pay-per-view but they charge a fair price for an exceptional service. I do however have some sympathy with you if you are referring to Ancestry.com They promise a lot on their adverts, but provide no access to birth/marriage/death certificates which (along with parish records) are an absolute necessity in being able to trace your family tree. All they supply is very badly transcribed census entries, and access to other peoples family trees, which are riddled with inaccuracies and therefore worthless. But (like anything on the Internet) individuals have to take responsibility themselves, and check out what will be available before they hand over any money.

Hi Marc and Irene, Thanks for your replies. Yes, you are right - the data is still there but we can no longer search for "all the Jane Templetons in Auchinleck" without getting all those in Ayrshire. But that's OK. I thought at first that it had all gone! Best wishes, Mary
