Lloyd I think on this we need to get the collective brains of the Ayrshire Net list to see if they can help you. Lloyd family direct tree is Boyd Hemphill (Born 1560) (I have my doubts/suspicions of this) Robert Hemphill 1590 - 1663 James Hemphill 1625 - 1650 James Hemphill - the dates I have must be wrong Rev Samuel Hemphill 1688 - 1761 Married Sarah Semple Edward Hemphill 1735-1811 Married Frances Despard Dr Samuel Hemphill 1782 -1866 married Mary Backas Robert Hemphill 1812 - 1891 married Annette Sarah Rothwell Samuel Hemphill 1859 - 1927 married Flora Margaret Delap Flora Ricarda Hemphill died 1962 married Webb Butler Jones Edward (Teddy) Jones Married Ivy Watts Hume Jones married Jacqueline Ann Butterfield (still living) Lloyd Butterfield Jones Born 1985 (Me) The Hemphill name is thought to have come from Hamphill Farm – which is about 1 kms east of Moscow village and about 6 or 7 kms NE of Kilmarnock. So perhaps some of the spouses families may be able to cast come light on this family and its origins. Mike Boyd Brisbane From: Lloyd Jones Sent: Wednesday, May 21, 2014 9:39 AM To: Mike Boyd Subject: Re: A Hemphill Connection in Ayrshire? Letter CB14032 Hi Mike, Thanks for your thoroughly detailed reply. I am doing my best to access any electronic files that may exist on those floppy disks which I have been passed. I will hopefully soon type up the rest of the "Boyd Hemphill" passage for information. I will get this to you as soon as possible. As requested my full postal address is: Lloyd B Jones Bury St Edmunds Suffolk United Kingdom IP33 1YR The work your are undertaking seems fascinating and very time consuming, I truly wish you the best with this and hope to find a connection with my family and become more involved. However finding a way past my current obstacle is my current challenge. Unfortunately the East Ayrshire Council Local Studies Library at the Burns Centre were unable to turn up anything old enough to be of assistance. I have been passed a researchers number who has work which relates to Dean castle - so I hope that comes to something I will follow up with some of the other e mail addresses you have provided, to see if any of my current generation have found an answer to this challenge. Best wishes, Lloyd.

Jo-Ann The Local Studies Section is in the Burns Centre about a mile form the Dick Institute, but I assume the Email would be the same. Mosside - is the farm just north of Kilmarnock and nearly across the road from Rowallan Castle? If that is the case the original researcher may need to look at the Fenwick Churchyard or even in Kilmaurs cemeteries. I know that there are plenty of Young's buried in the Fenwick Churchyard - so the father might be one of these.

Hello: Does anyone have any information on this property? I remember that something happened in 1926, concerning this property. I think there was something about the Ardeer Estate either going on the market or being settled in some way. Anyone know? Thanks, Bonnie

Hello Bonnie, This article on the Three Towners site may be of some interest to you. http://www.threetowners.com/Ardeer%20Factory/ardeer_factory.htm In part: The formation first of Explosives Trades Ltd., and soon afterwards of Nobel Industries Ltd., led to an increase in the importance of Ardeer, especially in the research department. Thus when I.C.I. was formed in 1926 Ardeer itself had a great contribution to make. There were reorganisations and from the interest of Nobel Industries Limited certain new divisions of I.C.I. were born. All the best Linda -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bonnie Cole Sent: May 21, 2014 3:44 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AYR] Patrick Warner estate at Ardeer Hello: Does anyone have any information on this property?

Most certainly Clan Donnachaidh were there! Legend has it that the clan chief, Duncan, asked The Bruce whether he could name his son after him and the family name Robertson became the earliest surname in Scotland. Another legend suggests that the clan was late to arrive at Bannockburn, and although few in number they arrived with lots of noise and were instrumental in the English troops losing heart and thus the battle.
