Hello Debbie, Thank you as well for your post re Margaret Sanderson’s, The People pf the Sixteenth Century to the Ayr List last week. Following your post I did some searching as to her work and came up with this link in within the Kilwinning Heritage site. I would imagine that along with you Debbie that many will find surnames of interest as mentioned within the document, I know I did as well. The very interesting and informative information in regards to the Abbey’s Communion Silver, along with the photograph showing these beautiful pieces would be of particular interest to our Mike Boyd and other Boyd descendants. This document allows a wealth of information for surname sourcing as well as a very interesting history of Kilwinning . Many thanks goes to Andy Baird of Kilwinning Heritage and all those that allowed permission to reproduce the out of print booklet for us to enjoy. Hopefully Derek will be successful in his pursuit for a reprint of Margaret Sanderson’s work, possibly in PDF, thank you Derek for taking up the cause on this as many of us would not object to a nominal charge for access to the work. Best regards to all for a great week ahead, Linda Nordby From: Deborah Rea [mailto:deborah.rea94@gmail.com] Sent: August 31, 2015 6:01 AM To: Linda <searchinguk@shaw.ca> Cc: AYRSHIRE@rootsweb.com; DMT <dmt@dmtajw.fsnet.co.uk>; Peter Pool <p.ml.pool@xtra.co.nz>; Mike Boyd <mikejboyd@bigpond.com>; Rosemary <rosemarycryer@gmail.com>; Bruce Shields <bshields@pwshift.com>; Scot <ScotsCotNM@aol.com>; Robert Shields <Robert@parwichhall.com> Subject: Re: [AYR] FW: Kilwinning Heritage new link Hi Linda, This is a good document. It looks like it might compliment Margaret Sanderson's The People of Sixteenth Century Ayrshire which unfortunately is out of print at the moment. I notice that on p. 5 it talks about The People of Seventeenth Century Ayrshire. I think the 'Seventeenth' should by 'Sixteenth'. By the way, Derek (DMT - see his email address) has drafted a letter to one of the societies to see if the 'People of Sixteenth Century Ayrshire' could be reprinted hopefully as a pdf hopefully payable at a small charge. Several prominent people, such as the Boyds are mentioned (see pps. 27, 33, 39, 51, 55, 58, 59, and 60). There is even an Elizabeth Gillies mentioned on p. 60 and a mention of a John Cornelius; these names are of particular interest since my cousins and I since we are researching the Shields, Gillies, Craigs (ppg 60,) and Cornelius families (p. 59). Thank you for sharing it. Regards, Debbie Rea On 31 August 2015 at 08:27, Linda via <ayrshire@rootsweb.com <mailto:ayrshire@rootsweb.com> > wrote: Sorry all, I pasted half of the correct link!

A good deal of wonderful information, hopefully of interest and help for members of this list. The Cunninghame Teind List 1559-1560 kept me intrigued all afternoon, giving us a rare opportunity to read the names of the tenants as well as the names of the farms for that one year period in history. http://www.kilwinningheritage.org/wp-content/themes/DeepFocus/downloads/A%20 <http://www.kilwinningheritage.org/wp-content/themes/DeepFocus/downloads/A%20Short%20History%20of%20Kilwinning%20Parish%202nd%20ed.PDF> Short%20History%20of%20Kilwinning%20Parish%202nd%20ed.PDF With best regards Linda Nordby --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AYRSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com <mailto:AYRSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com> <mailto:AYRSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com <mailto:AYRSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com> > with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AYRSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com <mailto:AYRSHIRE-request@rootsweb.com> with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message -- Debbie Rea --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
