Hi ther,
OUC means Out of County or not born in Ayrshire but born in another part of Scotland.
Looks like your ggfather and my 2xggfather were neighbours in Monkton Village.
There is a gravestone in Monkton Churchyard MI 78 as follows:
Erected by Hugh McCrorie to the memory of his father Thomas McCrorie d 2 Feb 1806 aged 65; also his mother Catherine McLeerie d22 May 1841 aged 85; and his brother James d 19 Feb 1857 aged 62; Sarah Hay his wife d 4 Apr 1866 gaed 6..; the above Hugh McCrorie d 28 Apr 1870 aged 82
A brother grave demands a sigh,
A parents urn the moistened eye,
Husband and wife relations dear
In silence all do mingle here.
Let me know if they are yours; if so I'll get a phot first time I'm in the vicinity - its in the row adjacent my family.
According to the Minutes of the Public meeting held on 22 May 1839 your ggfather was one of the founder members of the Monkton Library Society along with John Hunter who I believe was one of my Hunters.
My 2xggfather David Murphy attanded the 2nd meeting held in 1840 and was elected Librarian for 1841 and again in 1842 at a salary of one guinea a year - the library opened on Monday evenings, once a fortnight.
Best Regards
Duncan
