On the subject of McLELLANs, I have some who are 'missing' from Kilbirnie (AYR) & Lochwinnoch (RFW) areas. Robert McLELLAN m Janet McLACHLAN (McGlaughan & var) in 1853 in Kilbirnie. Robert died in 1863. Janet died 1886. Issue: John 1854, James abt 1856, Isabella 1857-1885, Dugald Robert (Robert) 1860-1887, Margaret 1861, Jean 1863. John was a woollen mill worker at Beith in 1871. Was he a ships steward living at Hope Terrace, West Ham in 1881?James was at Calder St, Lochwinnoch with his mother in 1871. Where after that? Possibly a traveller draper at Wigan in Lancashire in 1881.Margaret after 1871?Jean is probably the Janet McLELLAN with the family of Alex REID & family in Devon in 1881. I cannot find her after that. I would be grateful for any information re links to these family members. Anne Maye

Hi I see Linda has given details of Unthank. Braehead still exists in Beith (which is in Ayrshire). If you Google "Clydesdale Bank Beith" you will get a map and a photo of Braehead. Hope this is of help.

I am also searching for Braehead in Beith nearby in Renfrew. I think it is a street but cannot find it on a map.  It was given as the birthplace of the above Isabella's brother John in 1854.

Anne Maye.

Thank you, Rhoda. Seems likely, doesn't it? Clare Clair I associate it with the hymn which starts "By cool Siloam's [not Siloah's] shady rill". Perhaps her parents liked the hymn. Siloah appears to be an alternative version of Siloam (according to something I saw by Googling the name]. Rhoda

Hi Graham, Yes, the Chopin visit is an interesting episode in the history of the castle! A bit sad though, because he was or became ill during his stay... As for delays in selling property, perhaps it appreciated in value during that interval? Have written to the Johnstone Learning Centre to find about obtaining a couple of works of local history. Hope to hear something soon. Carolyn On 4-Apr-10, at 7:41 AM, grfm@optusnet.com.au wrote: > Hi Carolyn, > My conection with the Houston family is a very minor one.
