Killoch Guildhall - did it exist?
« on: Sunday 12 May 13 10:53 BST (UK) »
Hi.

My Lindsay ancestors are found at a place given as 'Killoch Guildhall' in 1851.  I know that there is an area known as Killoch on the Ayr road but cannot find anything else than it became a colliery in the 20th Century.

Does anyone local to the area know anything about Killoch Guildhall (or what could be a corruption of the word guildhall) please.

The guildhall is suggestive of a town or village but where my ancestors live is part of Mauchline parish. Robert is a railway labourer.

Thank you.
