Hah - its clear why there were so many 'Small' family members in Kilwinning. When I last visited the local history centre in Ardrossan I was unable to find any records before the 1780s. I have no record of who Neil Small's (b.1760) parents were, and I have no records of who Neil's siblings were either - but I imagine all of the Small's in Kilwinning most ikelyoriginated from the same family.
Neil Smal and Jean Kerr's children:
Janet Small born 8th March, 1787 married John Cavine 26th October, 1816 in Kilwinning. They had one daughter, that I know of, Janet Cavine born 22nd October, 1818.
Agnes Small bon 23rd September, 1788, married (I think) Hugh Cochran 5th June, 1813
Alexander Small born 17th May, 1790. I have currently no further record for Alexander.
Archibold Montgomerie Small born 20th September, 1792. I have no further records for Archibold.
Margaret Small born 27th April, 1794. I have no further records for Margaret.
James Small born 5th May, 1796, married Margaret Miller on 3rd January, 1817. Later he remarried to Elizabeth Jack on 8th October, 1837.
Mary Small born 21st March, 1798. Currently no further records.
Ann Small born 9th July, 1800, married David Reid on 3rd June, 1825. Currently I have no further records.
Robert Small born 23rd July, 1802. Currently I have no further records.
Helen Small born 25th February, 1804, married William Hamilton Young on 29th October, 1825. They had one son that I know of, Neil Young (date of brth unknown).
Mathew Small born 29th October, 1825. Currently I have no further records for Mathew.
Elizabeth Small born 1st November, 1808, married Thomas Aird on 19th February, 1831 in Kilwinning.
So here, already, are the makings of a large 'Small' family (no pun intended!)
