looking for help finding decendants Of Donald McKechnie who for many years was a dentist on Main street Ayr. He had 3 children, Mary, Elizabeth and Adam. Also had 3 wives according to death cert, Connell,Gibson & gibson. Strong ties with kilbarchan in late 1800 and early 1900s
Does anyone know anything?

In 1950 or 1951,a dentist named Adam Connell McKechnie moved into a house on our street in Chingford-a suburb in N.E.London.He was from Ayr,aged about 55 at the time,very dapper diminutive man with a little wife to match,plus an attractive daughter who met and married an English fellow,probably in '53.A nice family,Mr. McK practised in Finsbury Park briefly,then at Romford,Essex and from 1954 on New North Road in Hainault,Essex.
Why they left Ayr so late in his career I do not know.Seemingly they gave up a nice big home,and at first could only afford a basic semi in Chingford.
Well,I guess he is the Adam you mention,this is all I know of them-except Mrs.McK had visits from an Ayr friend called Mrs. M(a)cMillan.Mrs.McK passed away in 1955,only 60.Mr.McK then vanished from our lives.
Hope this of interest - John R.Moss

thanks for this. This is indeed the Mckechnies that I'm looking for. My father in law is the nephew of Adam but has never seen him since the 1930/40s cos of family differences.
thanks again
