I wonder if anyone can help me find the location of a place called Unthank in the Parish of Kilbirnie? It looks like Unthank on the birth registration of my Isabella McLELLAN in 1857. 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. Thank you for any help that I can get. 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.
