Hello Mike ... yes, I am related to Edward Shirkey and Margaret Barr of Kilwinning, Ayr, Scotland.My mother's father was a Shirkie (Shirkey).Margaret and Edward were my GGG Grandparents.I have census records from 1851 and 1861 that show the children living at home at that time, but a daughter Margaret is not listed (there is an Elizabeth, Christina, Catherine and Mary).This doesn't mean she wasn't a daughter ... possibly she came along after the census, or Margaret was her middle name?Also, there were several sons of Edward and Margaret back then who may also have had a daughter Margaret.This is not an uncommon name in the Shirkey line.I will look a little further and see if something pops up.
I have a friend in Glasgow who did the research of the records in Scotland.He isn't a genealogist, but seems to be very good at digging up records.If you are interested, I could ask him if he would give assistance.
Hope this helps ... don't hesitate to contact me ... Mike Howard (USA)
