I have recently come across a death of Jane (Jean) Ferguson nee McKay on 4 April 1857 age 27.  The record shows that she was buried in Barrhead Churchyard.  Can anyone help as I know of at least 3 possibilities in Barrhead, but I don't know which one would be known as Barrhead Church.  I know of Bourock, Arthurlie and South Church.  I am excluding St John's, EU and Methodist, I don't think any of them have had burial grounds.  I am also excluding Neilston and Levern which I am sure would not have been described as Barrhead. Jane, (sister og my gggrandfather) was married to William Ferguson, born Kilbride abt 1825.  They had 4 children Janet b 1849, Mary b 1851, Robert b 1854 and Jean b 1855.  Help is appreciated Johan Researching Keith, Sharp, Carswell, McKay and many more.

Johan, Try the roots chat for Renfrewshire forum. Also, try a post on http://www. Barrhead.com message board. A person from Barrhead has been most helpful to me. She looked up local newspaers, also sent photos of headstones found in Barrhead cemeteries. Should you need further info let me know.
