john marr and agnes walker
Have hit a brick wall with the Marr side of the family. Can anyone help please!. John Marr and Agnes Walker married in Coylton Ayr 25 May 1811 they had William Marr b 1811, John Marr 1815, James Marr 1816, Margaret Marr 1817 and Agnes Marr 1819. I know James Marr marries Agnes Knox 1844. I have a 1841 Census place Ochiltree Ayrshire address Bonnyton Toll. I dont know what Bonnyton Toll was, can anyone help here? It appears she was the toll gatherer, William an agricultural labourer as was John and James. Margaret and Agnes may have been Dressmakers. Would love to hear from anyone related to this family or can give me any information. Many thanks.

No relation but it's fairly easy to follow the family through census records at Ancestry.honda wrote:Have hit a brick wall with the Marr side of the family. Can anyone help please!.

If I've got it right then William married Margaret Marr in 1855 and he became a gamekeeper.
John married Elizabeth Douglas and he was a tollkeeper.
Agnes married William McMichal in 1843.
Obviously all this would have to be checked at SP.
Agnes and Margaret are at Monkton in 1861 -
Agnes Muir 80 born Straiton
Margaret Muir 42 born Dalrymple
They are at Toppa in 1851.
There is a death indexed at SP for a Agnes Walker/Marr in 1868 at Ayrshire.
