Costs of research do mount up!

There are no free sites that I'm aware of for the 1871/81 Censuses. The 1881 Census is not too bad as it is only two units (search & view). You might find a friendly soul with access to the 1881 on CD who can do a job lot set of look-ups!

Tempus fugit . The postings are all a bit dated . They do however bring back memories of a childhood spent in Millport , Isle of Cumbrae . The Dickies referred to , farmed on the Wee Cumbrae / Little Cumbrae /Meikle Cumbrae which was about 700 acres and about a mile to the south of Big Cumbrae . . It has a lighthouse which was a favourite trip we kids took each summer . There was a watch tower on the highest point said to have been erected to spy the Norse intruders back before the Battle of Largs . The supply boat came into Millport each day to pick up rolls and bread and other supplies . Memories !
