Found this on the Internet - any help? "St Andrew's Parish Church, Kilmarnock, was built as a chapel of ease for the mill-workers in its vicinity in 1841. In the wake of the 1843 Disruption, which led to the formation of the Free Church of Scotland, they revolted and joined the Free Church in 1844 and formed a new congregation called Free St Andrew's in Faulds Street, Kilmarnock, depleting what was still the relatively new congregation of St Andrew's Parish Church. At the 1929 union of churches, Free St Andrew's became part of the Church of Scotland and became known as St Andrew's North Church." Also - my ancestors are from the United Church of Scotland, any thoughts if that is the same/different as the Free Church of Scotland? -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Boyd [mailto:dboyd@duurstede.com] Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2005 6:13 PM To: CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Boyd] Kilmarnock graveyards?

Janet: Thanks for the info. it seems to eliminate any of my Boyds because they came over much earlier. Cuts it down a bit.

Janet - some more info - don't know if it helps you? Kilmarnock, St Andrew's Free Church began at the Disruption, when the minister of an existing quoad sacra church and most of his congregation adhered to the Free Church. A church was built in 1844 (reconstructed, 1886). It passed successively to the United Free Church and the Church of Scotland, in the latter case as Kilmarnock St Andrew's North, which was in the presbytery of Irvine and Kilmarnock and the synod of Ayr. It united with Kilmarnock Howard as Kilmarnock Howard St Andrew's in 1984.

Interesting! So what do we think, are the LDS records the ones for these churches? -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Boyd [mailto:dboyd@duurstede.com] Sent: Sunday, July 24, 2005 6:06 PM To: CLANBOYD-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [Boyd] Kilmarnock graveyards?
