Carol,

Ayr and Largos are in Ayrshire. Largs is in North Ayrshire, Ayr is in South Ayrshire. They are both on the west coast. See this Largs website http://www.largs.org/

For maps,
Largs: &searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf]http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=220500&y=659500&z=3&sv=largs&st=3&tl=Largs,+North+Ayrshire+[City/Town/Village]&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf
For Ayr:
&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf]http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=233812&y=621445&z=3&sv=ayr&st=3&tl=Ayr,+South+Ayrshire+[City/Large+Town]&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap.srf
and a zoomed-out one:

Hello,

Thank you for taking the time to answer my email it is most appreciated. Whilst I have you can I ask....

If one has marriage details and birth details and it says...

married in Ayr, Largs

born in Ayr, Largs

What area would this be, also I am going to be looking for some kind person to do a lookup for me so I take it I would go to the Ayrshire site for my query. Thank you lots once again and for your time

Carol,

I'm not sure on this one - I'm guessing now, but I would guess that if it said "Born Ayr, Largs" then the place of birth is "Largs, in Ayrshire" - they might have abbreviated Ayrshire to "Ayr".

Can somebody do a lookup for Carol?

Hi,

I didnt expect to get an answer so soon, I thought everyone would be asleep. It is 11.53 in the morning here. Thank you for your reply. I think this rootschat is really really neat. Everyone is so helpful. Bye for now
