Hi all,
I am wondering if there was a census (I'm a very new genie), around 1840 in AYR.
My surnames are as above but with of course various spellings. MCCULLOCH/K and MCCALLOM ect.
They were married in Dreghorn in AYR in 1835 and had listed as a relative a John MCCCULLOCK.
Maybe they could be found in a Census? Janet, William, Andrew, Charles, John, Agnes, Thomas are common in our family but I also think, common throughout Scotland.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hi Pauline,

Census are available from 1841-1901. The 1841 does not contain as much information as the ones following it.

Please visit the Ayrshire How To Guide which explains researching in Ayrshire and what/where records are available.

Alex,

Amazing options! Thanks!

Just found out the GRAHAM line (we have a few located in Kilmarnock, early 1800's) may have QUAKER connections. We found out through a 'new cousin' related to STEVENSON, with Euphemia, b 1820, marrying 1840 to Thomas, and they are to appear in the Kilmarnock census in 1851. Parents of Euphemia, Robert & Jennie, are the GGG grandparents, with James b 1834, being my GG grandfather...emigrating with R & J in 1846 from Kilmarnock.

Any suggestions? I've contacted the Quaker church in the UK and they sent info. about becoming a Quaker.

Hi Sheila,

You may want to ask by sending an email to the email address listed on the Ayrshire Quaker site below or join one of the Quaker mailing lists on the site below that. You may also want to send an email to the National Archives <enquiries@nas.gov.uk> and ask them if they have any Quaker church Records giving the area you are interested in.

Do a search on Quaker Archives UK at http://www.google.com/ and you will find UK sites that have some Quaker archives. Most of these were English based.

Good luck in your search.
