Dillons of Kilbirnie and Ireland
- Kilbirnie
I am looking for the Irish roots of Neil Dillon who Married Jane Herrie; they later emmigrated to Scotland in the 1840s and settled in Kilbirnie.
They had three sons, Neil, William and Daniel.
Neil Jr Married Catherine McGarrity, and they had at least one child, Catherine Dillon who later married Samuel Asbury.
Catherine lived in the Dennyholm and was a mill worker; she died at 15 Dennyholm, Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, Scotland.
Most (if not all) Dillons living in Kilbirnie may have their roots in Neil and Jane, and any help in finding their Irish origins would be appreciated.

This family were quite well known in Kilmarnock in the late 19th century particularly as they were employed by the railway company called something like Glasgow and South Railway Co.

Barnes/Barns, Wyllie/Wylie in Kilmarnock
- Kilmarnock
I'm looking for any information at all about the background of Robert J. Barnes (sometimes Barns) and/or his wife Ann (nee Wyllie) who were living in Kilmarnock from the 1840s to the 1860s (I have their entry from the 1861 census, but have not had access to earlier censuses). They, and most if not all of their children, emigrated to Massachusetts in the early 1870s.
Robert, an ironworks labourer while in Scotland, was born between about 1818 and 1821 in Scotland or Ireland, of Scottish parents (per US 1880 census). Ann (known as Annie)was born probably in September 1818 in Scotland or Ireland of a Scottish father and an Irish mother. Robert and Annie's children that I know of were Mary C.Barnes, b Sep 1842 Kilmarnock; David Barnes b 1845 prob.in Ireland; William Wyllie Barnes b Nov 1846 in Scotland or Ireland; Robert J. Barnes b Feb 1849 Kilmarnock; Hannah Barnes b 1851 Kilmarnock; Hugh W. Barnes supposedly b March 1855 Kilmarnock but I can't trace his birth in the Scottish statutory register; Ann Jane Barnes b 31 Jan 1856 Kilmarnock; James Banks Barnes b 9 Feb 1858 Kilmarnock.
I have not yet traced the marriage of Robert and Ann, or any of their parents. I have a good deal of information about later generations which I would be delighted to share.

James Reid - Kilmarnock Area
- Kilmarnock
I am trying to find information about my ggg grandfather a James Reid who married Magdalen Hillhouse in Kilmarnock in 1802. They had six children that I know of - James Carse 1805, Agnes 1808, Robert 1810, Margaret 1813, John 1815 (my gg grandfather) and Robert 1819. The family seems to have been located in the Kilmarnock area and I believe that his son James Carse married a Jean Wyllie who may have been a lady in waiting at Rowallan Castle. I have found a James Reid (baron officer at Rowallan Castle) buried in Fenwick in 1849 and a Mrs Reid (his wife) buried in 1845 who may be the James I'm looking for but can't be sure. The line of Reids that I'm interested in were Land Stewards/Nurserymen. I also note that two of James children had "Carse" as a middle name, possibly from an earlier marriage. Does anybody have any information on these Reids??
My gg grandfather John Reid married a Jean Brown in Kilmarnock in 1838, but I can't locate any children from this marriage other than Hillhouse Glen (about 1847 my g grandfather) and his brother Robert T 1856. I believe there may have been a William and John. Does anybody have any information on these Reids also??

James' parents were Charles Findlay (born in 1792) & Jean Lemont or Limont, who married in Dreghorn, Ayrshire, Scotland, on 7 April 1821.
They had 7 children:-

3) - Robert Findlay, born 7 June 1826,
4) - Charles Findlay, born 25 July 1828,
5) - Margaret Findlay, born 10 February 1831,
6) - Mary Findlay, born 13 May 1833,
7) - James Findlay, born 22 January 1836, died 8.11.1917.
All were born in the Parish of Fenwick, Strathclyde, Scotland.
Following their marriage in Kilmarnock in 1862, James & Margaret immigrated the same year to New Zealand on the ship "The Grassmere". Brothers John and Charles Findlay, had already come to New Zealand and were farming at North Taieri, Dunedin, where they were joined by James in 1862.
Do you have any of the above names in your Family Tree?
Best wishes from New Zealand,
Logan Shortt.
