Scott and LMcLM,

Thank you both for the extra info. Yes, the Plantation years for sure and I will look more closely at Ballymena and points nearby, hoping for first names which might tie to our line.

(Very interesting that Scott's family returned home.)

Best,

Susan

Searching for Mures, Muirs, Moores in Early Ayrshire

Susan Susan <susan....@gmail.com>: Nov 11 02:58PM -0500 Hello, Lynne, Robert, Debbie, All,   Thanks for your help and encouraging words. And mea culpa, it was the early 17th c. when I think we emigrated, not the 18th, so slip of the fingers or brain there.   Most likely I won't find a Moore of my own line in Ayrshire back then, too few clues. One stray note suggests a large extended family, including my immediate kin, left together for the north of Ireland, probably Co. Antrim or Down, later to the U.S.   But good to know the Finnie-Muir-Burns connection of later years. Would that trace to Robert Burns? Just curious.   Lovely to hear from so many of you. I wish things were better over here, I'd say come visit.   Best wishes,   Susan Council

scott.stewart547 <scott.st...@gmail.com>: Nov 12 11:58AM Hello all,   I've been following my paternal Stewart line back from Ford and Longbenton in Northumberland to Ulster in the 1700s.   They all lived in Antrim, primarily Ballymena. I used Rootsireland and Scotlandspeople   https://www.rootsireland.ie/   https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/   I was able to find birth, baptism, marriage and death certificates.   Census records show them moving back to Ayrshire c.1850-1860.   Thanks   Scott

Lynnette Hadley <lynne....@gmail.com>: Nov 12 12:04PM +1100 Oh dear! I know that feeling. I inherited my tree from my late cousin and while he had most things right, I'm still tidying it up. Cheers, Lynne.
