Progress

The 1851 census for Ayr is 98% complete. The only part missing is the first 11 EDs of the parish of Kilmarnock which unfortunately, due to the current unavailability of the fiche, cannot at this time completed. It is hoped that this will be remedied in the future but it is not possible to put a date on when.
