1 Bruce from Young NSW Australia asked

Dear list
did you notice the "car" in Keith Muirhead's GALSTON
Ayrshire Directory - 1837 - by Pigot & Co posting?

Anyone know what a 'car' was in 1837??

If anyone knows the answer, please post it to this list. I have seen it in
several places and am also curious.

2 For those who have requested various places, please be patient. I have a
lot to do and reading microfische is not the easiest thing in the world to
do. I will get them all done in time, or will let you know if the
town/village is not listed.

3 I have a question - Does anyone have access to the 1871 census. I am
seeking info on my great grandfather, Hamilton Muirhead a son of Thomas
Muirhead and Catherine Jane Short (died 17 June, 1870). At the time the
family lived in Crosshill village near Kirkmichael. He married Mary McGhie
(McGhee) a daughter of Ebenezer McGhie and Anne Robieson(McGhee) in 29 Nov,
1872.

Any assistanct would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
