Your welcome, Laura. I have found ancestors in all three listings in both Stevenston and Saltcoats. :)

Thank you - I've made good use of these early census records. Great to have such valuable information online!

Hi Laura, You might consider entering your surnames of interest into the search boxes of each of the early local censuses at www.threetowners.com These censuses cover the Parish of Stevenston which includes all of the town of Stevenston and a good part of Saltcoats - hope this helps.:

I'm working on my Ayrshire family tree and have many Donnachie, MacKay/Mckie, Scott and Arnot/Arnott ancestors who lived in and around Stevenston and Saltcoats.

I'd love to hear from anyone who could be related, or who has information on any of these families (I'm from Airdrie, Lanarkshire). I have a private tree on Ancestry.com for anyone who'd like to view it, and my DNA data is available on GEDMatch as well.

You can email me directly at Laura.Hughes@hotmail.co.uk.

Cheers

Laura
