I've found the above resource helpful with many of my families, filling in many details of those for whom I had just basic facts. One newspaper that would be most useful for me, and I think many on the Ayrshire list, would be the Kilmarnock Standard, quite relevant to anyone researching in East Ayrshire. I've asked about adding this newspaper by contacting the British Newspaper Archive staff several times, but today I received a more helpful answer than just " we're adding newspapers all the time, and will consider this one". The following is what I received: " We're glad that you are happy with the service provided by the British Newspaper Archive.

Thank you Jim 1) Folks lets vote for the Kilmarnock Standard being Indexed!!! The more noise the more likely we are to get it done. (Would it also be worth writing to the MP that covers Kilmarnock to get them to request it being Indexed?) 2) Jim, do you know when the Standard started? 3) Do the Glasgow Newspapers, that are Indexed cover Ayrshire events? 4) Perhaps I should have asked what is the nearest Newspaper to Kilmarnock that is Indexed?

Nice idea Jim Kilmarnock Standard up to 17 votes with me casting some. A separate vote for Ayr and Ayrshire papers has a few hundred votes.
