I have some info on Margaret Davidson daughter of John Davidson and Janet Fergusson. Margaret Davidson was born on the 23rd February 1843 and baptised on the 8th March 1843 at Kirkoswald.
She appears in the 1851 Census aged 8 years and again in the 1861 Census aged 18 years. The following year aged nineteen years, Margaret gave birth to natural son - John at 10.15pm on the 1st January 1862 at Drummuck Farm. Margaret was working as a Domestic Servant. Five years after John was born, Margaret married Alexander Boyd from Maybole on the 29th March 1867. Margaret was now aged 24, Alexander her spouse was 23 years. Margaret and Alexander were living at Maybole and in the 1868, a year after they married Margaret gave birth to a son William and then two years later in 1870 a daughter named Jessie. In the 1871 Census Margaret's son John aged 9 years was recorded as living at Drummuck Farm with his grandparents and other family members including grandchildren - John's cousins. For whatever reason, John stayed at Drummuck and never joined his mother or step-father in later years. He would have been aged 5 years when his mother married, but he had been born and brought up at Drummuck, his cousins - Janet Scobie, James, Jessie and John were his playmates at the farm, so it may have been decided that Margaret's son John would be happier to stay at Drummuck.
By 1874 they were living at Straiton where a son James was born and two years later on the 25th June 1875 a daughter Maggie, at that time they were living at Gatehead, Kilmaurs with Alexander Boyd employed as a ploughman, as it is mentioned in the Will of Margaret's father John Davidson. Margaret was left One pound Sterling in her father's Will in 1876. By 1879 they had moved to old Cumnock where on the 19th November 1879 their daughter Jane was born. Alexander Boyd was working as Toll Keeper at Benston Toll at Old Cumnock.
By 1891 the family had moved to 1, Dailly Road in Maybole. Archibalds occupation was Spirit Merchant. Living at the address was Alexander aged 48, Margaret aged 48 and their children Jessie aged 21, James aged 17 working as an assistant chemist,and their youngest daughters Maggie aged 15 years and Jane aged 11 years who were attending the local school in Maybole.
In the 1901 Census Alexander Boyd aged 58, wife Maggie 59 years and daughter Maggie aged 25 unmarried were living in the cottage at Dailly Road.
Alexander Boyd died on 1st December 1920 aged 78 years and nine years later on the 1st August 1929 Margaret died aged 86 years.

1850, the third son of William Mcilveen Couperthwaite and his spouse Janet Eaglesham. He was described as
- a storekeeper most of his life, most active in church life - was a lay preacher of considerable ability for
many years. Height 5' 4", Weight 10st 10lb, black hair, brown eyes. He was intelligent, courteous, and had a
most pleasant personality. David married Elizabeth Ellen Eaglesham at Minnybae Farm, Kirkoswald, Ayr-
shire on 1st December 1875.
The following article was published in Ayrshire Historical Commercial and Descriptive 1894:-
D. E. COUPERTHWAITE
Cash Drapery Stores
54, High Street, Maybole
This business has been established about a year, and has made splendid progress for the time that it has been
open. Mr Couperthwaite is also proprietor of the Square Drapery and Clothing House, Cumnock, and each of
the shops are prosperous and thoroughly well patronised by the public. The Maybole premises comprise a
fine single-fronted shop fully 120 to 130 feet in depth, and well fitted and supplied with counters, shelvings,
show-cases, and other conveniences for displaying the very well-selected and comprehensive stck which is
held for the trade. Here may be seen a range of goods of standard value and of every variety in fancy dress
materials, cloths of every description, fine dress tweeds, serges, merinos, cashmeres, cotton and flannel
goods. In mantles, jackets, and costumes Mr. Couperthwaite displays a very great selection, while he does
also first-class dressmaking and tailoring work, employing only experienced hands in each department. The
house is established to retail all kinds of drapery, clothing, millinery, etc, for cash; and buying his goods in
considerable quantities direct from the large wholesale establishments, Mr Couperthwaite is enabled to pro-
vide the best and latest patterns of the most suitable goods at very low prices, giving his customers the benefit
of the narrow profits which cash payments enable him to offer. He proposes to increase the premises by tak-
ing over the shop adjoining and when he is able to do so will have the largest and most important drapery
establishment in the plave. He is doing a growing trade with the best people in the town and district, and has
proved to the satisfaction of the public that he is a thoughly capable, honourable and reliable man of busi-
ness.
N.B.- Since our representative visited Maybole Mr Couperthwaite has opened the adjoining shop as a La-
dies' and Children's Emporium of Fashions, in which he is now showing a most select stock of millenery,
underclothing, and ladies' and children's made up goods of every description at the keenest cash prices. We
understand that Mr. Couperthwaite aims at keeping the trade of the town and district from going to other
centres, by giving all the advantages of city shops to buyers at his establishment.
