My GGG-GM was Helen (Ellen?) McHOUL, married to William BARRISKILL. He was from Ballyworkan, Co Armagh, N.Ireland, but I'm not 100% sure about her. I cannot find their marriage and the earliest Scottish birth I could find for Helen McHOUL was 1822 in Mauchline. In the hope that she was mine, I traced quite a large tree for her (which I'd be happy to share....she might not be mine, but she might be yours). But based on the births of my Helen's children (starting in 1829), she had to have been older. The 1851 census for Glasgow, Lanark lists her as widowed and 43 years of age, so that would put her birth more like 1808. Her death in 1867 in the District of High Church in Glasgow lists her age as 51 (making her birth to be 1816). My other dilemma is the actual spelling of her surname. I know that most often names were recorded as they sounded so this one has manifested in many different ways. On the various documents I have found where she is named the spelling has been McHOUL, McHAUL, McCOOL, McCOLL, McCALL, McCAUL. Somewhere I even read that it could be COULSON or McCUMHAIL.

I have spent years looking for pre-1798 GIBSONs but with no luck. I have maternal lines though. My most fascinating family history discovery involved the illegitimate birth of Margaret GIBSON's father. His mother was a farmer's daughter. The putative father vigourously denied paternity and I have eight pages of witness statements from Kirkoswald Kirksessions. They are delightful glimpses into the minutiae of Kirkoswald life 200 yrs ago. I live in Lincolnshire, England, but lived near Glasgow as a child. I visited Ayrshire a year ago and sought out villages and dwellings of these forebears, including the St Quivox of Margaret and Robert McKELVIE. I have a photo or two which I will also send you.

The only match I found on the LDS IGI was christened in Bute to Neil McKELVIE and Margaret MURPHY. Perhaps you can help identify our Duncan's parents?

Hi Natalie have you looked in the census 1841 - 1901 for the family ? they are available on Scotlands People andsome on the Free census website, just put free census in Google and that should take you there. Scotlands People is a pay site but its quite reasonable, 6pd for 30 credits, it takes 6 credits for 1 image.

Hi J H McDonnell I know I am not descended from John Brown of Priesthill but we may share an ancestor prior to 1570. My Brown ancestors lived for over 400 years in the parishes of Galston and Sorn (then known as Dalgain) in east Ayrshire. My ancestor James Brown married a Janet Waussoun in Dalgain in 1570. These areas were close to Priesthill. I would like to see if my 36 point Y-DNA result matches any Brown surnamed descendent who can prove their descent from John Brown of Priesthill. Do you know of anyone that matches that description. Still surnamed Brown and have a Y-DNA result? Regards Ken Brown Gold Coast Australia.

Hello: My 4x g grandmother came from the Isle of Arran mid 1700's - was that part of Ayrshire or Buteshire? I believe it is Buteshire now. Her name was McCallum, but have no idea where on Arran she came from, as marriage only lists Isle of Arran. Thank you for any replies.

I did not know of the marriage of Jane to Hugh McCulloch and their emigration and am very pleased to have that info. I'm afraid I have no photos of the McKelvies, only of Margaret nee Gibson's brother James (my gt grandfather)and his family. Their older brother John GIBSON (b 1844) emigrated to Ontario in 1869. I have loads of info re Margaret's forebears. Out of ten children, only your Margt, my James, and John survived later than their twenties. So sad. I see you refer to Margaret as Jean/Jane. I guess she was given her mother's name after sisters Jane and Janet died young. I am happy to send anyinfo you require.

Hi all, I am wondering if sks could do a lookup please. I am looking for information for Hugh GRAHAM b 1871 and a Campbell GRAHAM b 1872 Muirkirk. Their mother was an Annie Campbell and father William GRAHAM . He was about 20 years older than Annie. They were married in Sorn in 1870. She was the daughter of John Campbell and Mary Lennox. If anyone has access to the 1881 census I would be most grateful. I can never seem to find people on the online census. We have the Cds at family history but I couldn't open the dics on Friday. We have new computers and I don't think they are compatible. Many thanks Chris
