Nyle You have several "forms" of the Presbyterian Church so you may need to look at that aspect. Willowyards now looks like it is an Industrial Estate between Beith and Kilirinie Lock. I would also look at both Kilirnie and Dalry or even Ardrossan for the first wife. For the second wife - Elizabeth Muir - you may have to find out where she was born as she MIGHT HAVE BEEN BURIED in her "home town".
