From 1855 compulsory registration has been in force in Scotland, and records are maintained by the Registrar General of all births, marriage and deaths in the county. Post-1855 inscriptions have been recorded here if they mention a surname appearing also on an adjacent pre-1855 stone, and for some of the smaller burial grounds, all inscriptions have been recorded.
This book is intended to be of help to those interested in Scottish genealogical research. It is a record of all known pre-1855 accessible inscriptions in Kilmarnock and Loudon (formerly part of Ayrshire).
Burial Grounds covered are: Dunlop Churchyard, Stewarton Cemetery, Stewarton Old Church Burial Ground, Fenwick Cemetery, Fenwick Churchyard, Kilmaurs Churchyard, High Kirk Churchyard, Laigh Churchyard, Kilmarnock Cemetery, St Andrews Churchyard, Riccarton Churchyard, Kaimshill Cemetery, Galston Churchyard, Galston, Cemetery, Loudoun Churchyard, Newmilns Churchyard, Newmilns Cemetery, Darvel Cemetery.
