Hi All,

I'm researching the Finnie family of Kilmarnock, who apparently originally moved to Kilmarnock from Constablewood (Largs).  According to my 4th great-uncle's obituary, there were various branches of the Finnie family buried at Millport.  I also understand that Kirkton Farm was once owned by the family?  I'd love to hear from anybody who has any information on, or relationship to, this family?  thank you. Kind regards, Lynne (writing from a wet and stormy Melbourne!!)
