In the Commissariot Record of Glasgow, Register of Testaments, 1547 – 1780, ed Francis J Grant, 1901 – what does Testament mean “A Will” They have a date besides them. Is this the date they were proved? Mike Boyd Brisbane, Aust.

The family of Robert Bankhead and Elizabeth (Bessie) Boyd who married in 1688 at Kilmarnock, Ayrshire. In the book William Brockman Bankhead, By Paul F. Goodridge, 2015, section 17 outlines the family of Robert Bankhead and Elizabeth Boyd who married in 1688 and had three known children. I found this book on the website https://books.google.com.au/books?isbn=1634176960 - When I asked google for “Dr James Bankhead of Scotland. I do not have the skill to copy or print out the 10 to 15 pages of this family in which the children or grandchildren migrated to Westmoreland and Caroline Counties, Virginia. It also said that part of the family descendent from the Kerr’s of Beith/Dalry, Ayrshire in the 1500’s, but did not show this linkage. The author, without any proof, said that this Elizabeth Boyd “might be related to the Lords of Boyd”. Very poor research. In 1691, there are about 30 Boyd families living in Kilmarnock, as shown by the 1691 Hearth Tax listing. The first Earl of Kilmarnock, William Boyd and his family, were not one of these as the family was living at Badenheath Castle in East Dunbartonshire. Goodridge did not tell the status of Robert Bankhead in 1688 or even what occupation he might have had. But it would appear that at least one of the sons or grandsons went to University to become a doctor – suggesting that the family had some wealth and standing in the community. Other information from a separate source, suggested that this Bankhead family might have come from Irvine, Ayrshire. As in 1616 James Bankhead is listed as being a Burgess of Irvine. But that does not mean that he lived in Irvine, nor does it tell us if he was a landowner or merchant/townsmen. So, this may mean that Elizabeth Boyd, was a descendant of the Boyds of Pitcon, Lynn, Portincross or of the Largs Estates. (Since 2005, when I first started going to Ayrshire to search for these and other Boyd families, I can’t recall finding any children of any of these Cadet Branches with a daughter named Elizabeth. You are lucky to find if they listed the sons and, in some cases, did not even list those that were the successive Lairds of these Estates.) During my visits to the three Ayrshire Local Studies Libraries, I did not look at see if any Bankhead’s were landowners, as I was only looking for Boyd families. In the last few days, I have received some Emails from Paula Lampkin, Birmingham, Alabama, USA (Email paulalampkin@att.net) with whom I hope to be able to build a Family Chapter for Robert Bankhead and Elizabeth Boyd and to find her Boyd ancestors. So, if anyone has any information on either family we would like to hear from you please. Thank you Mike Boyd Chairman Historical Committee, HBS [# 55]

Thank you to John, Floyd, Bruce and Mary for your replies. I have added John's two entries to the letter that I am currently finishing to Paula Lampkin in the USA. I will be interested to see her Bankhead migration from Ayrshire to the USA, as it may help me to link a Boyd family or families to this Bankhead family. But at this stage, it would appear that this Elizabeth Boyd - if linked to Chief of Clan Boyd - it would be to one of the Lord Boyd prior to the first Earl of Kilmarnock in 1661. And then it is likely form one of the Lord Boyd's sons families of which - at this time - we know very little about. Hopefully Paula can give me Elizabeth's parents Thank you Mike Boyd Brisbane -----Original Message----- From: John Sent: Saturday, June 16, 2018 12:36 AM To: ayrshire@rootsweb.com Subject: [AYR] Re: Ayrshire Old Parish REgisters in 1667 for Kilmarnock www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk has images of all extant OPRs in Scotland.
