Even back then, '60s I worked in Ayr, my pal in Glasgow, lots of us had to travel for work. Apart from holiday work in local cafe's, I don't recall any pals with local jobs :(

Hi Marette, Good to see you've joined us. The Pat McAvoy name rings a bell if he's from Ardrossan. Hope to hear more from you. :)

Welcome to threetowners, Melanie. Dip your toes in, and ask the questions about your Todd Saltcoats background in the topic you mentioned. There are knowledgeable folks here who will be willing to point you in the right direction. :)

Hello Threetowners!
Happy to have found your site through my sister Melanie. I have never set foot in Scotland yet but it is on my travel list.
I am Michele nee McLaughlin. Father is William James (went by Jim) had two brothers Jack and Donald. My mom is Jean Reid Todd - had six other siblings: Ellen, Margaret, Elsie, John, May and Frank. Mom was born and raised in Saltcoats, married and moved to Canada (Toronto area) in the early 50's. Both my parents were born in 1927. Moms parents John Todd and Margaret Reid. Dads parents Thomas R McLaughlin and Dorothy Carman. We have found a lot of into on the Reid side of the family but not very much on the McLaughlin or Todd side.
I currently live in Calgary, Alberta and am happy to be meeting a cousin for the first time ever in early September!
We have been working on a tree in Ancestry for the last few years.
Thanks for the great site - I finally understand what ICI is - mom talks about it often but I was never able to get the full name!
Looking forward to spending time here and reading up on threetowners.

A warm welcome to the Threetowners Michelle. As Hughie said, we have a wealth of information connected to the three towns, and some members with great expertise in delving into family history who always are willing to help.
