Title: Ayrshire Newspapers.
Post by: CM 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.
