Reference: Note received from Douglas Parker <douglasp@melbpc.org.au> regarding Fulton, around 1770, Stewarton, Ayrshire, Scotland dated Mon, 05 Jul 1999 18:57:44 > My great great great grandfather Hugh Parker was christened on 27 > October 1771 at Stewarton, Ayrshire, Scotland. His parents were William > Parker and Marrion Fulton. Can you help me with any information about > Marrion, or indeed the Fulton family around this area, or perhaps > throughout Ayrshire? Dear Douglas, Although I do not know about your Fulton family, I also am interested in Fultons in the Stewarton area. On the Fulton-l discussion list, you can read the archived notes regarding Stewarton and Ayrshire. ROOTSWEB has now provided on menu-driven interface to search the archives of the discussion lists. It can be reached at: http://searches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Specify fulton-l, and then specify search strings such as Stewarton, Fenwick, Kilmaurs for information on that area or specify Ayrshire for broader information. That will provide you access to much that has been previously been discussed on the list regarding that area of Scotland. There is an interesting biographical sketch on John Fulton of Fenwick who created an elaborate Orrery. Use the search string Timeline, for some general information on Fulton origins. I will carbon copy the discussion list with this note in case someone on the list has more information for you. Below is some information from the LDS site. Although I do not see your Hugh PARKER chr 27 Oct 1771 at Stewarton, Ayrshire, SCT, it does seem to be the same family. You may want to order the LDS microfilm of the Stewarton old parochial records or surrounding parishes. Although the handwriting is VERY difficult to read for these early records, you may be able to piece together some more of the family. ***************************************************************** >From LDS site online at http://www.familysearch.org/ using a custom search for the family in the British Isles in the IGI and then in the Ancestral File.
