      Hello Barbara, thank you for visiting. We have only recently laid stone chips on the Arthur lair and looks even better now, Are you a descendant of the Arthurs?

        Yes I am but only through marriage. I do have all of them on my Family Tree. Also have other family from New Cumnock (Lennox). Could I have your permission to add the photos to my Tree if I acknowledge they are from your site please.

      Hello
      Having stumbled across this when looking up the Arthur family of New Cumnock I hope you do not mind my messaging you. My interest in the Arthur family is in the Rev. David Findlay Arthur who was minister at Banchory-Devenick Free Church from 1844. I wonder do you have any information/pictures of him.
      Thankyou
      Iain

        hi Ian,
        I’m afraid I don’t have any photos of David Findlay Arthur. At the Disruption he was minister at Knox Church, Stewarton , near Kilmarnock. In the 1841 Census he is recorded as a preacher living with Findlay family Kilmarnock; probably relatives of his mother Jean Findlay.

        kind regards,
        Bobby

        There is quite a bit of information on him here.

    Hello Bobby, my name is Rodney Arthur of Queensland, Australia, son of James Lennox (Snow) Arthur, Grandson of Hugh Arthur and Isabella McLean, Great-Grandson of Hugh Arthur and Wilhelmina Houston, and Great-Great-Grandson of James Arthur and Jane Lennox. My wife, Maxine , and I are about to take a guided bus tour through England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales and my intention is to part with the tour in Glasgow on about the 10th of September, travel by train to New Cumnock, see and meet what I can and who I can in a very short period of time (about four hours), then continue the train trip to Liverpool to re-join the tour that evening. My hope is that I may be able to meet someone, a distant relation perhaps, who may be able to guide me to the places that I should see in this once in a lifetime opportunity? Thank you in advance, my contact is rodarthur@bigpond.com I sincerely look forward to your reply.
