Laura,

I read your email today - I have been out of the loop for years. Colin Cunynghame is my Uncle - my father is Harold Wallace Cunynghame (retired Butcher - born 1927). I new Roger in our youth however we lost touch with Colin and his family (sadly). If you would like to contact me I will do all I can to help fill in the gaps.

Kind regards,

TerryAllen636363 — 2009-07-19 10:46:15Z

I have a fair amount of Cunynghame history and one of my family is Isabella Dryburgh Cunynghame (b 1821 Linlithgow, West Lothian). I'm not sure where the Dryburgh comes from, simply because the Cunynghames are off to the side of my immediate line, but if that dateline matches what you're looking for I'm happy to help you as best I can. Please contact me by email on aussieterry@gmail.com

Your gran is not on my tree as yet...found her marriage in 1956. Would like to attach her - would you like to contact me direct? I see you are a Starr...are you joining in on the big 'Starr project'?

Re: Robert Drybrough Cunynghame1786-1862

jstarr277 — 2008-05-11 11:12:28Z

My grandmother is a descendant of Robert Drybrough Cunynghame... she attended a family reunion in the late "90"s at Rookwood cemetary.. if this is the same

I was only recently told of the cunynghame family, where he has 23 children. One granson burried at oberon.

Re: The Cunynghame lineage

TerryAllen636363 — 2008-04-03 02:39:09Z

Well Michele, I do have an Isabella Dryburgh Cunynghame (b 1821) in my tree but her father was William Augustus Cunynghame (b 1788) and her mother was Catherine Spen (b 1780). And my Isabella married James Cook Laing (b 1820). The names Cunynghame and Dryburgh are unusual, even for Scottish history, so you'd think there is some connection. I just don't have it. Maybe you should try this Url for more info.

TerryAllen636363 — 2007-05-01 05:28:00Z

Hello Frances

I am also a direct descendant of Sir William Augustus Cunyngham, 4th Bart of Milncraig. I have done a fairly extensive search with ScotlandsPeople to try to find where James Robertson Thurlow Cunynghame died but there is absolutely nothing there, or in all of the Cunynghame sites I am aware of. You would therefore have to presume he died in Australia. If you need any further help with the Cunynghame family please let me know. I am located in Brisbane. My email address is terryallen@optusnet.com.au

Hi Kerry
I'm not related to the Cunynghame's except through the Whalans my Gr-Gr Grandparents were Charles Whalan & Elizabeth Harper. James is a missing bit in the puzzle and I couldn't find any info on the Birth, Deaths & Marriages site. I've been able to find a lot on the rest of the family but James has been a mystery.

Hi Geoff

I am also researching the Cunynghame Family, but I am descendant from Charles Whalan Cunynghame.

I don't know about James Whalan Cunynghame. All I know about James is that he is buried with his Father (Robert Drybrough Cunynghame) out at Rookwood Cemetery.It is persumed he died at ayoug age, but I know whether this is true or not.

I was quite supprised to see someone researching James Whalan Cunynghame. I was wondering if you are descendant from James Whalan Cunynghame?

Will look forward to hearing from you.

2006-06-02 05:51:01Z

Want to confirm the death details of my G-Grandfather James Robertson Thurlow Cunynghame, 4th son of the 8th Baronet Cunynghame, Milncraig Ayrshire
James apparently born in Milncraig Ayr c. 1840, married in Australia to Alice Carter in 1878 in Deniliquin New South Wales, three children born in Wlicannia New South Wales from 1880. James apparently died on 21.1.1890, but not records in Australia. Did James die in Scotland in 1890 ?
Please help. Thanks.
