Looking for anyone who has links with the following families in Ayrshire.
HAMILTON, Beith, mostly hand loom weavers from Wardrop Street.
RICHMOND, Kilwinning, Dreghorn and Dalry, mostly coal miners.
FULTON, Beith, again weavers.
POLLOCK, Beith.
FAULDS, Isabella, married Alexander Hamilton in Beith C1819.
Thanks.

Hi,
My Hamiltons were all in Beith, at least until the 1890s when they are in the Paisley area (then coal miners)
Thanks anyway.

HAMILTONS This is a very long shot but here goes:

My Mother was the youngest of 10 and so the family legend goes by the time she arrived names were a bit thin so she was called after the doctor who delivered,

ROBERT HAMILTON

she was born in HURLFORD Ayrshire so he must have been local.

Any takers?
