Saltcoats/Dreghorn

Post by Duncan »

Hi, I am looking to connect with relatives of William Boyle and Mary Torrance of Dreghorn. Mary last lived on Dundonald st. William was a miner and once lived in the miners rows in Saltcoats. I am also interested in any pictures of the miners rows in Saltcoats and Dreghorn. Thank You.

Duncan.

Photographs of local miners' rows seem hard to come by. In the meantime if you use DREGHORN as a key word in this site there is one photograph of the Montgomeryfield Pit in Dreghorn. The site may be of general interest to others who have family from a mining background:

Hello The people you are looking for are my fathers grandparents. He doesn't know anything about his family and I would be really interested to discuss the Boyle with you.
