I was going over my notes on Agnes Janet Gemmill the wife of John Young and I show she could be the daughter of David Gemmill and Mary Young. There was an Agnes Gemmill christened Dec 7 1737 in Fenwick, Ayrshire, Scotland to David and Mary. In the baptismal record for son James it shows her name as Janet (crossed out and Agnes written above the name Janet) Gemel. Could be spelled Gemmel, Gemmill or Gemil. James is my line. === Below shows her: Fenwick Burials: 1807 Agnes Gemmel Widow of John Young in Cloich died 16th April.

Hi Norma I don't know if there is a connection, but my 5 x great grandparents were David Gemmill & Mary Young. Mary was born in 1704 in Fenwick and her gravestone in in the kirkyard. Her parents were Matthew Young & Mary Cuthbertson. David & Mary's daughter, Jean, married John Lindsay. Does any of the above ring any bells?

Appreciate that Liz, but the thing is, some of us have an awful lot of names........ My main names that I am researching in Ayrshire are McKie, Murray, Lindsay (Fenwick & Craigie), Wyllie (Ayr), Hendry (Symington & Kilmarnock). There are many, many more but I will list them another time cos I can smell my chicken burning in the oven.

Lynda is right. It pays to look at all of the roll call names. Sometimes you find one on the periphery of your search unexpectedly. I am at a loss with my Murray-Dunsmore-Arnott connection. My Grandmother was Catherine Murray Dunsmore marr. to Peter Strachan Arnott in the 1880's. I am lost beyond her father, James Dunsmore died in Sandbank in around 1938. His wife was Catherine Murray Dunsmore.. The Arnotts I have back to Riccarton. But the Dunsmores beyond Great-Grandpa are a mystery. I believe his wife and my g-grandmother was his second wife. The Murrays are also a mystery because I was told gg-gram came from Ireland but first shows up in Glasgow area. chris-kate

Hi Everyone, The Roll Call is working well, so much so that time is needed to read each post carefully as you could miss some little thing that could pull your families in line. That is the reason why I personally want to open each and every post that someone has taken the time to forward to the mailing list. It is proven that any post you will take the time to read could possibly hold between the lines a stone that will bring down a wall that has become difficult to break.

Mary Stevenson married John Gibson in Paisley in 1829. Looking for the death of John Gibson which I figured took place between 1847 and 1851, using the last child and the 1851 census. Also what happened to Sarah Gibson born in Dalry abt. 1847 and John Gibson born abt. 1835 in Dalry? Mary Stevenson parents were Thomas Stevenson and Elizabeth Irvine. Another child, Elizabeth married James Young and died in 1908. Anyone out there reasearching this family. All the Young children were born in Beith.

I got home to Brisbane, Australia only last Saturday after going to a very successful Home coming at Ballymoney, County Antrim on 1-2 October 2010. For a number of years, I have been saying to Tourist Officers in Towns that I have visited in Scotland and Ireland that they have been missing out on a very important part of the Tourism dollar/pound when they do not look at the Genealogical Market. (We do not mind if it rains when we walk around cemeteries or some of the other issues that may put off other tourist. And get thrown out of Libraries at closing time.) I congratulate the Ballymoney Council for putting on this work shop on and hope that they will repeat this some time in the future. (There were various suggestions on how such an event might be improved in the future.) There were people from Norway, Scotland, England, Canada, various States form the USA and myself from Australia. I found about 7 new Boyd families from those that came along plus another 15 or so from Dorothy Arthur's book on the Baldmoney Old Church Graveyard. This Graveyard had a grave dated 6010. It could have been any churchyard in Scotland. For people on the Ayrshire list, County Antrim and Ballymoney, might be one area that you may need to look for your missing relatives in Ayrshire. Thank you Keith for work that you put into organising this. I just hope that other Council area do something similar.

Hi to all This is even more strange as my husband John Stevenson has all the names mentioned in your message,in his tree. Young, Howie, Lindsay and Gemmell/Gemmill.

Agnes King marries x3 gt gfa Andrew McKissock abt 1788 and I have found 6 children for them. From the MI in Ballantrae cemetery I've best guessed abt 1761 as her birth year (d.1839). This is as far back as I have been able to get with McKissock (c1751-1837) and this is my only surname King. Judy in BC Can

2nd great grandmother, Ann Dempster was b. 1807 in WIG, married Andrew McKissock in 1827 Gorbals, and by 1834 they had settled in Ballantrae. I have found 9 children for Anne and Andrew; she d. 1875 in Ayr. Her parents are Andrew Dempster and Anne McGill. Anyone connected to Dempsters from WIG and KKD? Judy in BC Can

My Niven line begins with William Niven and Jean McCaull and I have little information about them except they had three sons, John, Robert and Adam b. AYR and Adam my line) born 1732 in Maybole. William may have been born in Drumbeg. X4 gt gfa Adam Niven (1732-1810) marries Margaret McMiken (c.1735 aft Adam's death in 1810) about 1758. I have found 11 children for them. Adam's son John (1763-1851) is my x3 gt gfa and in 1791 he marries Janet Gregg (c.1763 -1839) and I have found 6 children for them. John's son Adam (1801-1862) is my x2 gt. grandfather and in 1832 he marries Margaret McCosh, and I have found 8 children for them. Adam's daughter Flora Ramsay (1838-1880) is my gt. grandmother and in 1871 she marries Thomas Craig (1838-) and they had three daughters but dtr. Jessie Jane d. infancy (1880) a few days before Flora died 3 Oct 1880. Flora was a seamstress employing abt 20 others. (family lore) Judy in BC Can Judy in BC Can

My x3 gt. grandfather is Andrew Craig (c.1773-1845) who marries Jane Blair (c.1774-1852) in 1795 in Ayr. Andrew was a farmer in Burton, parish of Maybole and I've found 10 children for them. In Andrew's will are mentions of his mother in law Elizabeth Blair ms McCreath. I have no parents for either Andrew or Jane. Judy in BC Can
