    1. [WIG LIST] ROBERT RENNIE of OLD LUCE
    2. Barbara Hunt
    3. Good afternoon all, I am new to this list. I have recently discovered (with the help of Meg) that my 4xgreat grandfather ROBERT RAINIE (RENNIE) was baptised in Genoch, New Luce on 5 Mar 1758. His parents were JOHN RAINIE and HELEN BODDAN, his sisters were MARY bap 12 June 1751 at Stonykirk, JEAN bap 27 May 1753 at Stonykirk, and AGNES bap 20 Jul 1755 in Genoch. Robert's (widowed) mother married ROBERT HANDCOCK on 15 June 1775 at Old Luce. I have been able to trace ROBERT back to Lochwinnoch, where he married MARGARET JOHNSTON in 1787. It now appears that ROBERT may have gone to Lochwinnoch with the McDowells, and became a Tenant farmer at Warbowie, which was part of the Castlesemple estate bought/owned by WILLIAM McDOWELL of Garthland and Castlesemple. Is it possible that "GENOCH' or "GLENLOCH" was the name of a farm on the Garthland Estate? Thanking you in advance, Barbara, Australia.
