I am coming to Ayrshire in early August for one week and hope to find about some of my McLauchlan ancestors' lives etc. My 3xgreat Grandfather, John, farmed at Caddell Farm from about 1841 and his son, Robert carried on after his death. Robert married Barbara Dale Dickie of Girthill Farm in 1874 and this family left Scotland for England around 1890.
I do know that my 4x grandfather was born in Stevenston and was another John. He married Janet White and his son, John married Janet Spiers of West Kilbride.
What I would appreciate is suggestions as to where to go find information about this family. Like so many Scottish families many of them emigrated and I am pleased to say I have contacted several of over the years I have been researching. We are all proud of our scottish ancestry and interested in anything about them.
Thanks
