Thank you for the information

Hi, just looking at that census entry, Sorn & Old Cumnock are in Ayrshire - not Argyll. Maybe the enumerator was getting a little weary and ready for a beer!

Hi Jeanne


Thanks for the information. I guess the enumerator was having a bad day and as you say -- Ready for a beer!
