Blair Brothers - census look ups

[pcoups]

I'm taking a stab here..........as Elizabeth COUPERTHWAITE was born in Ayreshire hopefully there'll be thread I'm after.
I have Robert BLAIR b 1883 married to Elizabeth Wilson COUPERTHWAITE b 1881 Cumnock, Ayreshire.
William McGil BLAIR married to Janet Dunlop WILSON.
Both are sons of Robert BLAIR and Elizabeth McGIL.
I'm hoping that SKS can find then on a census and perhaps help me with some more info.
Thank you
Lynn

Dear Lyn,
I just saw your posting and I wondered if I had already told you when we found our COUPERTHWAITE link that my Gt.Grandmother was Jane Marr McCALL, born in Dalry 10-6-1867 and that her parents were Elizabeth BLAIR born 15-7-1836 in Kilwinning and James McCALL born 12-9-1837 in Monkton. Elizabeth was the daughter of Millar BLAIR born 3-10-1814 and Margaret WILSON. Jane Marr McCALL married James GUTHRIE and it is through the GUTHRIE side that our other connection to the COUPERTHWAITES comes in. I'll see if I have any other BLAIR information in my files.

Dear Lynn,
I found that our Robert BLAIR was christened in Kilwinning, Ayrshire on 6th March 1826. He was the son of John BLAIR who was christened on 17th June 1787 in Kilwinning and Eleasebath McGAHAN. They married on 18th September 1812 and had 7 children that we know of :
James 1813, Millar 1814 who married Margaret WILSON in 1834, Eleasebath 1817, Jean 1819, John 1822, Robert 1826 and Hugh 1827
I'll keep looking for more possible links,
Regards,
Patricia
