Kinnis / Shotts Inn Farm / Dewshill Farm - Kirk of Shotts
1901 census places Kinnis family at Shotts Inn Farm immediately after the listing for the Shotts Kirk and before Shottsburn Cottage and then the manse. I take it the Farm was on the main road, location now near or under the motorway. Any photos from that period, information, confirmation of location welcome. I have a nice photo of Shotts Kirk with what I presume to be the farm, given its shape, in the foreground.
Also looking for unknown father of illegitimate child born to the family in 1907 :-) Anyone want to own up to a conception in 1906?
Another daughter, Helen Dykes Kinnis, married Alexander Waddell from nearby Dewshill farm in 1915, but died Nov 1916 in the maternity hospital, Glasgow . Info or contact from them welcome. I am not able to verify if a child was born & died. Cause of death: pneumonia, ??? meningitis.
