At time he lived 8 Marvin Cres Troon, his wife Ann Marion Allan Crawford lived at 45 Whitletts(?) Rd Ayr.

Any help greatly appreciated. Doug

Jo-Ann & others This marriage of Hugh Jamie and Janet Boyd are in the 1981 IGI for Scotland with Batch number 7303630 and serial number 26. I assume in the Parish of Loudon, but no town is given.

Hi all, Could sks please do a look-up for me. I have a Grace Campbell, George Campbell and Margaret Campbell in the 1881 Census but I seem to have mislaid my notes. They are with STRATHDEE family in Tarbolton Ayrshire. I always wondered why they had been farmed out and today I have been told that their father died in 1876, their mother died in 1874. The children were born in Mauchline. Thank you for your help Cheers Chris
