Surnames: COWAN MCAUGHTRIE HOUSTON Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DMQ.2ACIB/811 Message Board Post: My ancestor Sarah Cowan married Thomas McAughtrie in Ayr, 20th May 1849. He was from the parish of Ardrossan and she was from "this" parish, which I assume to be Ayr. Neither set of parents names were noted on the OPR records, so I am at a standstill. I would love to hear from any other researchers for this family connection. Although I have info on several Thos. McAughtries in Ayrshire around that time, I have so far been unable to confirm who exactly his or Sarah's parents were. Does anyone have any ideas for me please? Thanks Jeanne Bell NZ
