Bernice,
I think the family in Kilmarnock were related to my family in Dalry. Grandmother's brother, John, was married in Kilmarnock in 1880 to Mary Hollywood. There were few McGinnis families in Ayrshire at that time, and those families had the same given names. Do you know who your John's grandparents were? I have an aquaintance who lives in England working on McGinnis from the same areas. We thought we had a proven connection at one time, but new evidence casts doubt. My ancestor, Edward McG. was m. in Kilwinning in 1852. He was b. in Co. Cavan 1834. I do have his baptism record with parents' names. I will be happy to share everything I do know if you would like it.
