I would like to know a little more information regarding William Kirk born New Monkland, Larnak.

by Kari57 4 years, 3 months ago

Kirk is a really confusing name to research. I have come up against a blank wall. My GG grandfather William Kirk died in Waikoikoi Southland New Zealand on 3 January 1934 His wife was Hughina McLean. They were married in Old Cumnock, Ayrshire, Scotland on 29th November 1872 (this date comes from their son's birth certificate)I believe he was born around 1849 in New Monkland, Lanark to Robert & Isabella Kirk (nee Orr) but I cant find an exact birth/christening date for him anywhere.

I have his and his wife's death certificates, his son Williams birth certificate and notation from this to verify the date of their marriage. Any thoughts as to where to from now???

Maxted

I am researching the Maxted line of my tree at present. William Kirk married Margaret Harriet Maxted on June 13 1917 in Presbyterian church, Gore Southland, New Zealand. Margaret's mother was Elizabeth Lampert married Richard Maxted circa 1887. There is a gap here. I think she died only a few years after and he remarried but can't make the connection.
