Ayrshire Newspapers.
« on: Friday 24 June 05 22:48 BST (UK) »
Can anyone tell me how I can obtain/look up Ayrshire newspapers.

I am looking for the Androssan and Saltcoats Herals August 1861- Nov 1877
Kilmarnock weekly 1863
Kilmarnock Standard 1870-  1871
Ayr Advertiser Nov 1877

I have exact dates for articles in the above newspapers relating to an ancestor of mine.

This will give details of BDMs in the Ardrossan & Saltcoats paper - you will need to register, but otherwise its free.   Not sure about actual articles as opposed to BDMs but I think there is a contact e-mail address and they may point you in the right direction.
Ayrshire: McCormick (mack); McFadzean; Kerr; Brown; Paton; McGregor; McDonald; Moffat; Connel; Bone
Dumfries/Lanarks: (pre-1840) McDonald; Moffat; Bone; Hamilton; Hyslop; Sandiland; Bredwood; Kerr; Brown
Ireland (pre-1820) McCormick (Monaghan)
