Hi Ian,

Have you tried Scotlandspeople you can view marriage details (pay per view).

Ian,

Looking at the 1861 census there is a James Donachie born abt 1847 Kilmarnock. Parents James born abt 1827 Ireland, mother Mary born abt born Eaglesham Renfrewshire. There are quite a few other children as well.

1871 Looks like could be the same James (spelt Donnochie) born abt 1847 Kilmarnock. His wife is called Margaret.

To clarify his fathers name you will need to see the marriage certificate.

There is a marriage for James Donachie and Margaret Lowrie on 31 Dec 1868 in Kilmarnock

 

[Hugo Donnachie]

Julie,

I think your James is the twin of my ancestor Hugh. There were five other siblings.

I have James' surname as Donachy and Mary's maiden name as Donnachie.

The father of James and Hugh was my MRA Barney Donachy b abt 1806 married to Agnes Shirkie or Sharkey b abt 1800 d bfr 1841 with a possible sister Elinor or Helen Sharkey b 1791 Ireland.
