Ayrshire / Re: Understanding valuation rolls in Dailly
« on: Tuesday 22 August 17 14:47 BST (UK)  »
Hi Annie, on the 1895 valuation roll I have been looking at the
1st column is Roll No and house No
2nd column is description and situation of subject ( house and garden )
3rd column is proprietor
4th column is tenant
So unfortunately no street name, that is why I was wondering if the valuation rolls were recorded the same way as the census records as I could then try and work out the location in relation to a church or hotel etc.

Ayrshire / Understanding valuation rolls in Dailly
« on: Tuesday 22 August 17 09:23 BST (UK)  »
Help required in understanding valuation rolls in Dailly. I have been looking at the valuation rolls for some of my ancestors and in the first column there is a schedule no then underneath it what I assume is a house or building number. I have tried to locate it on an old map without much success. Does anyone know if the valuation rolls were recorded in the same manner as the census records from east to west of the parish? I have been looking at the 1895-96 record page 36 schedule no 270, tenant James Baillie.

Thanks once again Looby, checked the valuation rolls on Scotlandspeople and found that my ancestors lived in Dailly village in a property whose proprietor was Wm McIlwraith from Glasgow

Thanks Looby, I never thought of that when I saw land on the census I thought an area of land as opposed to a building. This gives me something to think about. The ancestor in question died the next year and again I have not been able to find a burial lair, I assume he was buried in the church graveyard although his wife who died in 1905 is buried in the cemetery in Dailly. Genealogy is a challenge.

Thanks for that information I find it very interesting. My ancestors moved from Stoneykirk in Wigtownshire to Dailly so Ballantrae is quite local in that respect

I looked mainly round Dailly as that is where they were on earlier censuses, I have done a census search on Scotlandspeople for McIllraith and drew a blank.

Could anyone advise me where McIllraith land was in Dailly, one of my descendants is listed as residing at Back house, McIllraith land in the 1881 census. I have looked on old maps and have not found it.

Thanks for that I thought it could be misspelled from the transcription

Could anyone give me the location of Caringarrosh  Stoneykirk, it was where Margret Sally, Margret Sproat and Hugh Baillie resided on the 1841 census.
