2. FAMILY RECORDS Compiled by Robert Reid 1912, Bryce Kerr Family Records In 1900 compiled the “Family Records ” of the Dunlops of Dunlop, Loanhead, Hapland, and Borland; the Boyds of Kilmarnock and Bonshaw; the Reids of Stacklawhill, Bonshaw, Muirhead, Knowhead, Balgray, and Borland ; the Fergusons of Auchintiber, Fulwood, Oldhall, Fairliecrevoch, and Borland, and cadets; the Kers of Kersland, Triorne, Auchingree, Gatend, and cadets; the Gilmours of Grange, Brownhills, Nethergrie, and cadets: the compilation being dedicated to Angela Georgina Bartlett, Baroness Burdett-Coutts, and Sir Andrew Lusk, Bart., they being the oldest then living members of the connection. The edition was limited to one hundred copies, all subscribed for. As the 1900 edition is out of print, and I have been repeatedly requested by members of the connection and others interested in such works to issue another edition, and to include the genealogies of other families connected with those Whose genealogies were given in the 1900 issue, I consented to do so; and now include the genealogies of such families as the Longmuirs, Grays, Maxwells, Rankins, Cunninghames, Fairries, Blairs, Neils and Ralstons, and cadets of same, to all of whom I am indebted for information freely given concemiug their respective families. The bulk of the information now given has been collected from such reliable sources as—the Ofiice of Public Records; Sasines; the Advocate’s Library; the General Register of Births, Marriages and Deaths; The Signet Library at Edinburgh; the Commissary Ofiices, Glasgow; Paterson's History of Ayrshire and its Families; Robertson’s Ayrshire Families; Dobies Pont’s Cunningham; Dunlop’s Memorabilia of the Dunlops ; and from family papers and title deeds, which have been kindly placed at my disposal, with permission to make extracts therefrom for publication; and with the invaluable assistance of the late John Gemmill, K.C., of Ottowa, Canada, John Graham Dunlop, Esq., of Gairbraid, I.C.S., and Alexander Ferguson Reid, Esq., of Bonshaw, F.C.S. The compiler will esteem it a favour if subscribers, or others, who may happen to notice errors of any description in connection with their own, or other family data, will kindly advise him of the same, as in a work of this description it is almost impossible to compileso much data entirely free from errors.
