What i did i put Duf* as surname that will bring up the various spellings of that surname, in the mothers name i entered Mary Mckenzie, no first name entered for father, then i highlighted St. Margaret's, Ayr. You should get three results, ie the three i mentioned, for i credit. I only looked at the index, what you get on the actual certificate is the childs name date of birth, date of baptism, parents names, and sponsors names usually two names, could be other family members. On some of the records you only get a baptism date, no birth date. Hope thats helpful, Regards, Jonn. ps. there was only one cathlolic church St. Margarets, in the town of Ayr, at this period.
