    Local family history society is thriving
    WE RECENTLY reported that Dr James Borland was considering starting a family history society in the South west of Scotland.
    That brought a response from Frank Inglis of Bishopton who is the secretary of the Glasgow and West of Scotland Family History Society.
    It has nearly 800 members including descendants in North America and the antipodes. There are also independent family history societies in Troon and Largs.
    Frank was brought up in Kilmarnock but most of his relatives in the area spell their name English.
    Frank’s grandfather was Hance English a roadmender in Riccarton. Hance’s father died in an accident at Portland Iron Works, Hurlford.
    Hance had two brothers, Samuel and Francis, who were miners in Bankhead (now Springside) and many of their descendants are still there. There was also a sister whose married name was Kissock. Frank would be delighted to hear from any of their descendants. His family also includes the Rankins. Frank’s maternal grandfather was a Rankin who was born at Wardneuk Farm. According to Mackay’s History of Kilmarnock her father David Rankin was a direct descendant of the town miller That family lived at Barbadoes Bank at the gate to Howard Park. Anyone who can give Frank more information about these families or anyone interested in the Glasgow and West of Scotland Family History Society.
    Anyone who is interested can write to Frank Inglis at 3 Fleming Road Bishopton Renfrewshire PA7
