Have ADAMs in my line in Kilmarnock. John ADAM, Blacksmith was born there in 1830 to John ADAM [1798-?] and Mary COWAN. Don't have any links further back for the elder John ADAM. The IGI is not a help with them, seems few of this family registered births or marriages and I understand other Kilmarnock families didn't register their children either. We found parent's names when the Blacksmith son John died in Glasgow, 1908. Are Any Monumental Inscriptions published for Kilmarnock ? Meg Greenwood / Oklahoma USA -------------------------------

Meg re John Adam 1830 etc The scotsgenealogy website shows MI's available Kilmarnock/Loudoun... I am unsure how many you will find for Kilmarnock in the publication. They also have the CD's of burials - which I have purchased, and will do look-ups for you. I checked Scotland's People website and the deaths listed on their catalogue are Kilmarnock - High Church 1728-81. There are no other death/burials listed Nyle - NZ

Meg: SGS has Kilmarnock MI's as NZ reader noted, but I don't see any linked to your inquiry in Kilmarnock cemeteries. Checked both Adam and Cowan. ecunningham@att.net -- -------------- Original message from <gemwood@xtra.co.nz>: -------------- > Meg > > re John Adam 1830 etc > > The scotsgenealogy website shows MI's available Kilmarnock/Loudoun...

Meg Your John adam c1798 and Mary Cowan... no records fit this couple on the Ayrshire burials CD part 2 - which includes Kilmarnock. Since John jnr died Glasgow, could the parents have moved there, too. Could not identify any of this family on the 1841 census, and could not find a marriage for the parents, or a birth for John 1830 on any of my records. Below is the catalogue web address that should take you to the Scotland's People catalogue. http://www.scotlandspeoplehub.gov.uk/pdf/list-of-oprs-576to620.pdf Good luck with your search Nyle
