Looking for information on Willam Smith McGavins family, he married Margaret Merry in Oct 1824 and had 4 children, George, Robert, Hanna and my gggggrand father Andrew Ingram McGavin, does anyone have info on George, Hanna or Robert?? also any info on mauchline McGavins.

My great great grandmother Isabella McGavin born 1821 died March 8, 1891 married sept 9 1842 all in Mauchline to James Hamilton. Isabella's father William McGavin mother Jane Brown in 1871 census John G. Ingram was a border in the household above his occupation was author and artist also born in Mauchline.

There are some MCGavins on the LDS Family search site from Mauchline. If you don't have the link then just email me an I will send it to you. My McGavins are from Catrine, Sorn, Ayr, Scotland
Thanks

My forefather William McGavin was from Minishant Ayrshire and married a Janet Dalziel in Dec 1847 at Paisley. We understand that his parents were a John McGavin and a Margaret Gowdy. Estimate his birth was 1822/23? I am new to this and this information may be of no use. We can find no other links to them.

Hi, Are you still researching the Mcgavins in Mauchline?
I have just been trying to establish a link between the Mauchline Mcgavins and my gggx3 grandfather James who was Blacksmith in Kilbarchan(c)1770. I had wondered if William Blacksmith from the Haugh, married to Mgt Merry and born (c)1782 could be my gggx3 grandfathers brother as the trade of Blacksmith does seem to stay within the family.
I have not been able to find who Williams parents were and wondered if you have had any better luck. Regards, JAP.
