thanks very much for this.

I have a friend here in Holland called Allan Poot, who comes from S.A. He only knows that his grandmother, (possibly g-gr-mother) came from Ardrossan. He asked me if I could find anything for him.The details I gave were all that he had.

I will pass this on to him. Again, thanks a million. Allan will be very pleased. Up till now they had no background at all.

Good day,

According to a little research I have done previously, I believe "Lyclsie" should be Lydia.

I see your post is 2015, but if this thread is still live, does anyone have any more leads further back please?

Thank you

Hi Jan,
The census is from 1891, not 1881.
