Hi Dorothy, I am seeking information on the Biggart family from Beith. My GGrandfather Thomas Biggart emigrated to Melbourne Australia from Beith. I can trace back to my gggg grandfather David Biggart 1750 who married Margaret Speir. Perhaps you or someone might have information on them?

Dear Dorothy
I am looking for my great grandfather John Dunlop in the Ballymoney area. We think he may be buried in The Vow Presbyterian churchyard? He and his first wife Sarah came from Scotland in the 1870′s with their six children, but she died at age 34 and John married again, which caused a rift in the family and my grandfather James emigrated to USA and as far as we know never spoke to his father again. There is no trace of John or his sons and daughters on either the 1901 or 1911 censuses. Do you have anyone who fits the description in your books? Is there a separate Presbyterian Church in The Vow?

Hello and Good Evening,

I am descended from William Simpson and Martha Orr who evidently came from Balleymoney Ireland to Mecklenburg County, NC. I am interested in contacting living relatives in Ireland and possibly corresponding with them. I am also interested in purchasing on of Dorothy’s Books. Are they still available? If so, how to I contact her to purchase.

Best Regards,
Kat Jordan

There are several old Orr graves in the Churchyard. There are no Simpson graves but they are married into many of the families in the churchyard.

Hello Dorothy,

One of my ancestors, William Simpson, who married Martha Orr, was born in Ballymoney in 1752. He and his family immigrated to North Carolina prior to the American Revolution. I wonder if there are Orr and/or Simpson graves in the Ballymoney Graveyard. Perhaps they’re in your book, which I plan to buy today!

Thank you,
Michelle Johnson

Hi Malcolm,
I have a lot of William and Robert Biggarts in my database but none seem to match with yours.
