I'm looking for any info on the Tucker family (coalminers) from Kilwinning. Thank you

Carol You will need to supply some more information - names, dates and perhaps even which mine - about your Tucker family. I know the Boyds of Bonshaw were mining coal in the 1500's to supply the King in Edinburgh. So mining has been going on in this area for quite some time. I am not sure if the Irish came across during the 1840's famine to work in the mines as well. So the Tuckers could have come from there. Perhaps when you get some more information, you should contact he North Ayrshire Local Studies Library, as I know form visiting there they have information on various mines.
