Hello Kevin,
Only a snippet that may be of some use. In 1858 the New Cumnock Curling team won the prized Eglinton Jug, with Hugh McKerrow the star of the team . In one season he was victorious in 23 out of 24 matches he played.

Just found your site - hope you get some more names to share, Jill

Also just arrived at this site. I will check my stuff, John and Mary sound very familiar, and get back later.

Have a great deal of information on the Scott and Kennedy lines from Dalricket Mill and Braehead Farm across the road. Jane Kennedy, daughter of James Kennedy and Mary Young married John Scott. David Scott

Hi.

I'm trying to trace my OSBORNE's to Scotland. I think they may possibly be from the Ochiltree? area. Do you have any OSBORNE's that emigrated to Nova Scotia in the late 1700's.

Thank you.
