Loudoun Kirk circa 12th century

Loudoun Kirk Burials

This is a new website which we hope will help family history researchers find answers and be a means to contact other researchers. We now have a substantial database of families and connected families which we are willing to share. Although specifically interested in Loudounkirk we may be able to help with the Loudoun and Galston parish queries and if we can't, maybe someone else can. If you think you have family buried in Loudounkirk, please let us know, we'd like to hear from you.

Hi from Oz,
I'm a direct descendant of the MACKIE families in Newmilns, namely Stewart Mackie and wife Martha Parker who were married 17 Feb 1792. I'd like to hear from anyone else researching this family or any of the other Mackie families in Newmilns. I noticed an error in the burial transcription on this site "matthew ? Marthe weddaw of the dec Stuert Mackie weaver in Dykburn' Should read MARTHA. I believe Claud Wrathall has some info re this family submitted on IGI ,. I'd like to hear from him if it's at all possible. Great site.
Angela

My ancestors are the Smith family. The earliest member I know of is James Smith who married Barbara Howie 6 January 1764 Loudoun. Their children were James Smith born 24 February 1765 Loudoun and Alie Smith born 17 April 1774.

Helen Nisbet Wardrop, born Louden in 1852, married James Andrew , born 14 May 1849 in Monkton. became married but I have no date. Jame's father was William Andrew born1788 in Monkton.
I have been told that Helen's parents were Thomas Wardrop, born about 1814 in Ladyton, Loudon and her mother was Janet Vallance. I have no explanation for the mother's name nor do I know where she got the Nisbet part of her name from. I was also told that Helen had a sister named Mary Wardrop who married John Orr in 1869, and another sister named Jean Allison Wardrop bron 1855.
Other than the marriage of my anscestor James Andrew to Helen Nisbet Wardrop, I have not confirming documentation, only an e-mail, which i've lost, from a nice lady.
I would apprecaite any infomation on James Andrew and Helen Nisbet Wardrop family connections.
Thank you
