Good evening I have just begun researching my family tree and am interested in learning about my ancestors who lived in Ayr in the 1800s: - Thomas Crawford (1784-1834), an innkeeper in Ayr and his wife Mary Crawford nee Dunsmuir. - Thomas's son John Crawford (1823-1886), a carpet weaver, of Mill St Ayr and his wife Helen Boyd (1817-1882). Any information would be greatly apprecited and warmly received. Best regards Nicola

Seeking any connections to: James Brown bc1760 of Tarbolton married 1787 to Janet Allison (Alleson, Alison) of Ochiltree. A daughter Agnes b1803 in Tarbolton married 1821 to Andrew Smith of W & A Smith of Mauchline. Any help appreciated. Sandra in Australia

Hi I've just obtained 30 free credits from Scotlandspeople through the following link. http://www.ancestralscotland.com/roots/ I think it may apply as a promotion to people in Australia and New Zealand. A friend alerted me to an on-line ad in the Sydney Morning Herald which only appeared intermittently. Good Luck Ella Ross

Hi Eleanor, One of my sets of x4 gt.gparents is Charles EDGAR, and Annable NICOL who marry 10 Feb 1761 in Dailly. Several variant spellings for Annable including Anaple. Charles and Annable have 7 children and their daughter Annaple EDGAR marries Matthew CARNOCHAN abt 1792 and they have 6 children: Charles 29 May 1793, Janet 14 Oct 1794, Annaple 7 Jun 1796, Marion 30 Nov 1797, Margaret 9 Nov 1799, and David 10 Aug 1801. I have information on three of the children of Matthew CARNOCHAN and Annaple EDGAR: Janet CARNOCHAN m. Robert NIMMO 14 Apr 1822, and they have 7 children. Marion CARNOCHAN m. William CROSBIE 12 Feb 1820, and they have 8 children. Margaret CARNOCHAN m. Thomas MEREDITH abt 1825, and they have 7 children. Born 1768 in Kirkoswald, Mathew CARNOCHAN'S father is David CARNOCHAN. Perhaps this will help in determining if there is, or is not, a connection for you. I could post more information on the children of the three families listed here if that would help.

Hello Listers, I'm in the process of confirming information sent to me over some years. I cannot find parents for Marion CARNOCHAN/var. She did marry William CROSBY (c.1792- Aug 1882) on 12 Feb 1820 Maybole AYR. And 11 children have been found for them. The MI for Marion, erected by husband William and in Alloway cemetery does not refer to Marion's parents. Carrick-Ayrshire pre1855 MI's - a degraded stone so some numbers are best-guessed. I have just searched for a death registration for Marion on the scotlandspeople website, and for an OPR. Both not there. If Marion and husband William kept to the Scots naming pattern then Marion's father would be Mathew CARNOCHAN. Mathew would fit with the information sent to me: Father Matthew CARNOCHAN and mother Anaple EDGAR. Anaple is my line and a x3 gt. aunt to me. I have found 5 children on the BVRI for Anaple and Matthew - but not Marion. There is a Mary CARNOCHAN b. 12 Dec 1792, Leswalt, WIG with father William. Might Mary be Marion? Would sks try and find Marion's parents for me? I'm getting that feeling that she is not part of my 'tree'. Regards, Judy in BC Can

Adding to the spelling debate... think outside the square when researching... I found Susan spelt Thusan in Lanarkshire records... clearly the person reporting the birth had a lisp! The 'chap with the pencil' simply wrote down what he heard... Nyle

Looking for descendants of the children of John and Janet all of whom were born in the Colmonell/Cumnock region of Ayrshire. They were: John (b abt 1809), Robert (b 1811 m Elizabeth Alexander), Daniel (b 1816 m Alleson Cameron), Jane (b 1818 m Peter McMillan), William (b 1820 m Elizabeth McWhirter), James (b 1823? m Agnes Malcolm), Mary (b 1823? m John Fergusson), Janet (b 1825 m Hugh McMaster), Isabella (b 1827 m James Harvie), and Margaret? I am trying to establish that John (my direct line) was part of this family and who his grand and great grands were. He married Margaret Lowrie in 1839 (Colmonell) and immigrated to Canada between 1841 and 1850.
