Dykes - Strathaven, Scotland
I am researching the Dykes family who lived in or near Strathaven in Lanarkshire, Scotland.
The family will also have links to the families of Struthers, Hamilton and Fleming.
Members of the family emigrated to New Zealand.

I am researching Andrew Dykes family for the daughter of James Semple Dykes. They lived at Kirkwood House, Avondale, Strathavon, Lanarkshire & immigrated to New Zealand. Do you have any idea why the family went to New Zealand? I do know that the names Loudon & Semple are names of people who married into the family. If I can help you with information re the Dykes I will be happy to let you know what I have. Thank you very much in advance for any help you can give me.
Delighted that you have made contact re Dykes family. Yes we know quite a lot about the family that went to NZ and have family history records regarding them. I have been also in contact with another member of the family who lives in Northumberland, UK and she has give us lots of help. We would love to exchange family history information with you.
My husband's Great Grandfather was Andrew Dykes from Kirkwood House.
It will be great to hear about another part of this family. We do also have family photos.
Thanks for your post and look forward to sharing with you.
