My Great Great Grandfather David Hood has been a brick wall for a long time. Recently discovered he was born in Old Cumnock and found more family on your website. Thank you! Still looking for additional information on his father George who was a coal miner.

I was interested in the notes compile by Bobby Grierson concerning David Smith, Cumnock's 13th Provost. I would like to point out that the date provided for his marriage to Jessie Hewitson is incorrect. The couple married on 20 June 1877, not 20 June 1887 as stated on your website. On their marriage registration document, his wife's name is recorded as "Janet Hewitson"

Thanks so much to all of you who work so hard on the Cumnock Tribal Pages and the Cumnock Facebook page. I'm very excited to be finally coming to the Cumnock area this June and walking the footsteps of my ancestors. Cheers, Jennifer

I am seeking to confirm that my likely Grt Grandfather John McLetchie b. Old C 1833 (son of Robert Mcletchie - Snuff Box maker) had migrated to Australia in 1854. 1st attempt failed due to the massive shipwreck of the TAYLEUR, on its maiden voyage from Liverpool. But not to be deterred, that same year John came here on the 'Golden Era'.

Grew up in the small coal mining town of Century, West Virginia, USA. One of my closest friends father went to school in Old Cumnock, Scotland. His family was from Lithuania, but they lived in Old Cumnock prior to coming to the USA. His name was Levonas Zelenskis, but we called him Scotty because of his strong Scotish accent. He was born in 1908. I am not sure if he was born in Lithuania or Scotland. Scotty had a very successful life and his children also achieved success. Curious if anyone remembers the name Zelenskis, or perhaps can locate information on the Zelenskis family. Thank you for any help you can provide.

My Grt Grandfather John McLetchie was b. Old Cumnock, 1833 son of snuff box dealer, Robert McLetchie, was shipwrecked on his 1st attempt to migrate to Australia on the 'Tayleur' in 1854. Do any others recall this event or family?
