Alan, If you go to http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk you can get a copy of the marriage registration which will give you the names of both parties parents. This will be more accurate than her death registration, although that would also be available on scotlandspeople. This is a pay-to-view/download site but is very reasonable with great images of the actual registry pages. Here is a possibility for her family in the 1851 census. This is the only Margaret Mclelland of the right age in Kilmarnock. This census info came from freecen.org.uk which is a free site.

Hello, I'm searching for information on Margaret Mclelland(1839-1877). She married George Lennox in Kilmarnock on 30 July 1858. Believed to have died 9 March 1877 in Old Cumnock. I am hoping to determine her parents and birth place (Kilmarnock according to the 1861 census). Perhaps from a death record?? Tnx Alan

Greetings Listers Before I go subscribing to too many Mailing Lists, can anyone tell me if there is a site for Scottish Military history. I'm interested in a former Ayrshire resident (born Kirkcudbrightshire) who, a family story says, was serving in Ireland in 1802 when his son was born in Edinburgh Castle. Can anyone point me in a suitable direction please? Many thanks Pam Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. http://www.avast.com

So very nice to see such a very huge, spread out family. I am sure my grandmother has photos of Thomas, not sure about James, but it would be interesting to see.

Hi Meg,That middle surname is often the name of a relative or of a town worthy.  In my family, for instance, I had an Elizabeth McDonald Irvine in the family tree.  I couldn't find any McDonald's in the tree so far and then I discovered that the grandmother's sister named Elizabeth Murchland had married a McDonald.  She must have been a well loved great aunt.  One I'm working on now is Henriette Taylor Anderson.  I can't find the Taylor anywhere.

Hi Mary, Are you the Mary who was up at the Burns centre recently -and who, I think knows Lyn Swartz? You live just south of the border in England but have kept your Oz email address? Something is happening at The Burns... they are now closed on Mondays and have limited staff at all times (you never see two people at the desk nowadays. Christine Ewing is the chief archivist but no-one's seen her for an age.

Hi, I have lots of those names in my trees however I would have to look at your dates. I have discovered that while we all (those who live away from Scotland - including me only in England) use a particular census to verify our family histories that a census my distant cousin (who lives in Kilmarnock) may find - say at the Dick Institute or the Burns Centre is not always compatible with the same census I find on-line. Now, I have no clue as to why this is but I've come across it time and time again. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this problem?

Thankyou Jo Ann, George was my GGG Grandfather. It's strange , on his daughter's death certificate, that is Ann Campbell my gg granny, she died in Melbourne, Victoria, it states her father was a Farmer, but I have since found out after many years of researching that he was a Harbour Waiter in Troon, Ayrshire. Such a quaint job ,but obviously very necessary in those times. He died in his 60's at Barrskimming. Ayrshire. His wife Marion lived with her daughter Margaret at Failford and died at 90 yrs of age.

Greetings Listers I have come across 'Skookhill' as being the place for a couple of births on my Ayrshire DEMPSTER line. One says it is in Ochiltree, the other in Dalrymple. Could this be the name of a farm, maybe half-way between the two? Googling hasn't provided a clear answer to where or what Skookhill is or was. Any ideas, anyone? Many thanks.

Jim, The Amish/Mennonite's of my home area have a saying "Ve get too soon old, and too late smart" . You are still learning that at 66. I am also at 83. We forget the head thinks we can do things our bodies no longer can handle. A painful learning experience. Glad to hear you are recovering well. Keep up the good work. George M.

Hi Listers, I've missed being as active on this list (and others) as much as I'd like to have in 2014, but after many medical issues I finally created one that could have been my last. I foolishly at age 66 thought I'd move household items myself in a rental truck, which I'd done in the past (long ago) many times. So, my son and I began loading the truck, oh and also I'd never moved in winter before, so shortly after starting, I slipped on the metal deck of the enclosed truck and went down head first and slammed into frozen ground. I knew that I was in a serious way, and found out later that day that I'd broken my neck. Well, after a great surgery I'm recovering slowly. That day I promised my family (and myself) that I'll leave this to younger guys with good experience and in good shape. Think I'll just supervise now. :) Jim Page 4 No. of Schedule Road, Street, &c., and No. or Name of House Houses Inhabited Houses Uninhabited (U.) or Building (B.)

Dear Listers, I am looking for anyone who is researching the family of Matthew CAMPBELL and Margaret. In the 1851 census he is 43 yrs old and is a farmer at Mauchline. He had 83 acres of land and employed 2 labourers. His children were Marion aged 13, Matthew aged 8, David aged 6, Agnes aged 4, George aged 2 and William 9 months. I was hoping he would be the brother of my George CAMPBELL married to Marion MURRAY. Any help gratefully appreciated. Cheers Chris Aus

I'm copying this reply to Meg Greenwood who can supply you with a transcription of the 1855 birth of the last child of Matthew & Margaret (Johnston) Campbell. This, the first year of government registration in Scotland, supplies a larger amount of information than in following years. Anne Campbell b 5 April 1855 at Mauchline, Ayrshire Your best bet would be to obtain the death registration for Matthew ( http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk) which should supply you with his parents' names. It seems possible that he is the son of Matthew & Agnes (Muir) Campbell, born in Mauchline in 1807. Below is a list of the recorded births for this couple. There is a son George. Margaret Campbell b 19 Dec 1793 Anne Campbell b 17 Feb 1796 George Campbell b 21 Oct 1798 John Campbell b 5 Nov 1800 Marion Campbell b 13 Jun 1804 Matthew Campbell b 2 Jan 1807 William Campbell b 27 Feb 1810 Agnes Campbell b 15 Sept 1815 Jo-Ann Croft On Sat, Dec 13, 2014 at 11:35 PM, Goldstraw via <ayrshire@rootsweb.com> wrote: > > Dear Listers, > > I am looking for anyone who is researching the family of Matthew CAMPBELL > and Margaret.
