George Haig

I found this In Memoriam while searching "Cumnock" in newpapers online.

George Haig was a shoeing smith or farrier with Lanarkshire Yeomanry. His family were from Lanarkshire but were in Lugar at the time of the war. George had been in the Balkans for three weeks when he died on 9th November 1915. He was 21.

from Hamilton Advertiser, Nov  1916

The hospital ship Delta was used for men injured in Gallipoli.

George was born on 4th January 1894 in Abington, Lanarkshire to John Haig and Margaret Dempster  who were both from Carluke.  Margaret's sister Kate is the Mrs Adam in the In Memoriam notice above. She married George Adam in 1893.

The War Memorial in Lugar is most unusual in that it lists all those who served as well as those who perished.

His service record survives

He was a joiner aged 22 of Douglastone Cottage on the16th February 1915 at Cumnock. His next of kin was his father James. He was 5ft 7.
His father signed for his 1914-5 star on the 11th August 1919. His father listed his living relatives on 24th May 1919. His mother, brothers David, William, James & George and sisters Agnes and Catherine. All were living at Douglaston Cottage except David of 15 Alexandra St Clydebank and  Catherine of Station Cottage Dunure.

William Montgomery

A Cumnock born man died early in the war according to this report from the Dundee Evening Telegraph of January 1915.

His service record survives
He joined the army at Glasgow on the 24th October 1895 aged 19. He was a labourer born in Old Cumnock.
The address on his service record was  87 Beechwood Cottages, Uphall Station, Linlithgowshire but I think this is a later address of his widow when she remarried.
He had a wife Annie Ross of Uphall Station and a daughter Margaret Angus Montgomery born 6th May 1914.
He had a brother Fergus of Hartlepool, a brother Robert in Saskatchewan Canada and a sister Maggie also in Saskatchewan. No parents recorded, so deceased.

Having a brother with the uncommon first name of Fergus helped me locate the family in the censuses.

His parents were William Montgomery,flesher (butcher) and Mary McBain and he was  born in Lugar on 6 Oct 1878.

In the 1881 census the family is at  462  New Row, Auchinleck and William is 2 years old so he wasn't as old as 19 when he enlisted in 1895,  he was only 16.

His widow's address was later given as 5 O'Connell St, Hawick. She was Annie Jessie Angus Graham and she was remarried to Bryce Ross in 1917.

Southern Reporter 10 December 1914

He was killed in action on 12 November 1914 and is remembered on the Ploegsteert Memorial in Belgium. He is not on Cumnock or Lugar War Memorials. He's on Hawick  War Memorial.

William Stewart RSF

Not at all sure about this man on Cumnock War Memorial, but he is the only William Stewart of the RSF in Ayrshire who died that I can find.

There was a William Stewart of Skares mentioned as home on convalescent leave but that was in 1918. He survived the war and married. He died in Whitehall pit in 1945.

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
 In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
 In Flanders fields.

The author of this moving poem is  John McCrae a great great grandson of Cumnock-born Marmaduke McCrae

John McCrae was a doctor. Here are his WW1 army papers.  He died of pneumonia in France on 21st January 1918 aged 45.

John Collins Johnstone

John Collins Johnstone of 130 Commondyke was an underground motorman when he enlisted in the Scots Guards at Ayr on 22 April 1918 age 20 . He was born on 25 January 1898 to Hugh Johnstone and Mary Collins.

Regimental number17672

His service record survives. He was 5ft 8in, had dark brown hair and blue eyes. He was with the BEF in France from Oct 1918 until Apr 1919.

He survived the war but died in Ballochmyle Hospital after an ear operation aged only 36.

I am grateful to his granddaughter Nanette McKee for the photo and information.

Adam Leckie

Born in 1890 in Cumnock to Adam Leckie and Mary Sweden, he was a private in the 1/5th RSF.
He was given an honourable discharge due to wounds received in 1915.  The Cumnock Chronicle provides the details. And his medal card confirms this.

Cumnock Connections tree  The father Adam was the half brother of John Ross married to Agnes McMeekin, great grand aunt of my husband, so I am more than usually interested in the family.

100 years ago today

On the 26th October 1914 the first of the Cumnock men to die was John Docherty.

I wrote about him here.

The Cumnock Chronicle reports the first 4 casualties:

George Burns

I had trouble finding which, of the many George Burns to die, was the one on Cumnock War Memorial.

The war memorial has him Sgt George Burns of the Argyll & Southern Highlanders. No match for this.

The Roll of Honour list in the Cumnock Chronicle on 24th March 1916 has him as

 Sergeant George Burns of the 2nd Seaforth Highlanders.

This helped narrow it down to the man below but he's not a sergeant and I still can't link him to Cumnock and there are several George Burns born in Kilmarnock in the time frame.

Name:	George Burns
Birth Place:	Kilmarnock, Ayrshire
Death Date:	9 May 1915
Death Place:	France and Flanders
Enlistment Place:	Kilmarnock
Rank:	Private
Regiment:	Seaforth Highlanders
Battalion:	1st Battalion
Regimental Number:	S/4140
Type of Casualty:	Killed in action
Theatre of War:	Western European Theatre
Other Records:	Search for 'George Burns' in other WWI collections

The CWGC site has nothing helpful to add Rank: Private Service No: S/4140 Date of Death: 09/05/1915 Regiment/Service: Seaforth Highlanders 1st Bn. Panel Reference: Panel 38 and 39. Memorial: LE TOURET MEMORIAL Additional Information:

Major General Sir Richard Bannatyne-Allason

Richard Allason Bannatine was born on 22nd September 1855 at Glaisnock House in Cumnock to Dr Richard Bannatine an army surgeon and Charlotte Owen an Australian, who were married n Sydney on 13 Nov 1851. She was the daughter of  Assistant Commissary General Stephen Owen. Their daughter Charlotte was born in Sydney on Dec 1852. Richard senior had been in Sydney since at least 1844 when he was noted as assistant staff surgeon to the 58th regiment.

Sir Richard Bannatine-Allason    by Walter Stoneman  bromide print, 1924  NPG x162437  © National Portrait Gallery, London

By 1861 census the family was living at Glaisnnock House in Cumnock

Richard Bannatine     45  Landed Proprietor Employing 1 Man & 4 Woman b Edinburgh
Charlotte Bannatine     30 wife b Australia
Charlotte J Bannatine     8 dau b Australia
Richard A Bannatine     5 son b O Cumnock
Elizabeth C Bannatine     3 dau b O Cumnock
Owen A Bannatine     1 son b O Cumnock
Marian Owen     23 sister in law anuitant b Australia
Robt Bannatine     53 brother  annuitant b Edinburgh
Mary Allan     23 servant nurse b Australia
Grace Murdoch     24 servant cook b Kirkconnel
Jane Gillespie     33 servant housemaid b Ireland
Christena Love     15 servant under nurse b Cumnock

A fifth child Rachel Marion Bannatine was born in 1861.
The father died in 1867 in Kent and the family seems to have remained mainly in the south of England. None of the three girls married. Richard himself doesn't appear to have married. Brother Owen married and lived in India for a while.

Richard by then a Lieutenant in the Royal Horse Artillery is visiting William Allason Cunninghame at Logan House in the 1881 census. He must be a relation. Richard has Cunninghams of Glengarnock in his ancestry. Many of his ancestors were Church of Scotland ministers and there are good records of them in the Fasti Ecclesiasticae.
Also helpful was " A genealogical account of the principal families of Ayrshire" by George Robertson 1823 available online here

In his seventies he travelled a lot between Port Said to London. His address was Little Kames, Sunninghill, Berkshire

Sir Richard died in Sunninghill, Berkshire in 1940. He left over £4,00 to Theodore Henry Bayford Owen an east India merchant.
