He married Agnes Johnson and in the 1871 census they were living in Kilmarnock with their daughter Mary born around 1867. They were still living in Kilmarnock in the 1881 census. Agnes had died after 1876 and David was married to someone named Margaret. Their children were Mary, John, Alexander and Margaret. It is thought that John immigrated to the United States. We have information on Alexander but none on John and his sisters. Would appreciate any help. Eileen Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Looking  for  John  MACFARLANE  schoolteacher  father  of  my  ancestress  Elizabeth  ,  she  being    born  in  Campbeltown  Argyle about  1782 ,  sadly  before  registering  of  schoolteachers. I   have  looked  in  Fastii  as  in  the  times, as   parish  priest  /minister  was  often  teacher  as  well,  but  can't  identify  him. Elizabeth  was  married  at  Riccarton  1800.  I  guess  both  teachers  AND  pastors  moved  around,  though  have  no  proof  her  parents  were  in  Riccarton.  I  would  welcome  any leads  to  him  or  to  avenues  of  search.  ...no  answer from  Campbletown  Library. I  DO  know  of  Ayrshire  list  at  SRO ...PA.10/5 but  thought  to ask  list  first...........Elizabeth's  mother  was  a  CAMPBELL  and  so  perhaps  records  could be  with a  sequestered  estate?......thanks  for  considering....Heather  in  sunny  Dunedin

Good evening all, Have just been given some news the people I was chasing, John and Agnes CAMPBELL did not actually go to Lancashire so must have stayed in Ayrshire. Could sks please look up the 1891 census if they have access. They lived at Bonnington Place Kilmarnock in 1884 which is when my last letter from John to his sister Ann arrived here in Australia. She died before she received that letter. Ann's son George kept the letters and handed them on to my grandmother. Thanking you Chris Australia

Author: kay1707 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.scotland.ayr.general/4625.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Dear Pam, A lot of historical material relating to hospitals and asylums has ended up in university archives or special collections, particularly where the university has a history of medical education and professional training. Glasgow University Archives holds the NHS Greater Glasgow archives - see: http://www.archives.gla.ac.uk/gghb I know Dundee University Archives and Edinburgh University special collections also hold similar material. A useful tool for searching the archives collectively is Archives Hub at http://www.archiveshub.ac.uk/index.html I find the subject finder worth browsing (although be sure to explore every avenue - Glasgow health records are under hospitals but not under hospitals Scotland). For a list of all the archives held in Scotland see ARCHON at http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/archon/searches/locresult.asp?lctry=Scotland It is always possible some Scottish material is held outwith Scotland; for example some medical material relating to the Scottish Women's Hospital is held by the Women's Library at LMU in London.
