Posted by christine adam on 07 December 2015 Sorry - we don't have that information. You could try the Scotland's People web-site which has census data for each house from 1841 through to 1911. Posted by David McKenzie on 08 December 2015 Thanks for the website I live with my better half in one of the Tea Caddies in Kilmun.(Heathbank) I've enjoyed exploring the area over the past two years and wish I had seen this very informative website earlier. Keep up the good work. ps, we have a Beech Tree in the garden which is 5.8metres in circumference and I'd like to age it as my next project. Any clues appreciated? Sandy Hutton/Helena Kowaliw Posted by Sandy Hutton on 17 February 2014 Thanks for your kind words. Our visitor centre at the Mausoleum site is now open on the winter schedule - Wednesday, Friday and Saturday 10:30 - 15:30. You would be most welcome. Regret we have no expertise in trees - perhaps the Forestry Commission could help. Posted by David McKenzie on 18 February 2014 history I believe Tobacco Lords / Cotton Merchants lived in the short front houses in Midge Lane, Strone. The Old Manse was one I think. Do you know who the T.L. might be? Thankyou. I'm not having much luck i'm afraid. Posted by christine adam on 18 May 2013 Sorry - we don't have any information about surrounding villages as yet. Perhaps one of our trustees might be able to help. Posted by David McKenzie on 07 June 2013 Family History According to the 1841 Census Walter Dick aged 54 and his family Mary,John,David and Andrew all lived at Kilmun. Andrew Dick aged 10, I am sure is my 3x gr Grandfather, became a boilermaker, first wife Ann Miller drowned, one daughter Mary Ann Dick b 1850, came to NZ sometime between 1851 and 1869. Andrew re married in 1859 to Catherine Craig at Hull.If anyone can tell me more about this family it would be appreciated. Posted by Nancy White on 14 January 2013 Thank you for your inquiry - we are a very small organisation and we are unfortunately not currently able to handle genealogy questions. We hope to be able to provide a family history service when we open to the public in 2014.
