The names below may be of interest to someone. I was sent this by someone on the Ayrshire mailing list. I asked someone to look up the Ardrossan Poor Relief applications to see if some of my Sloans were there. This is a list of people who applied for money. Many came from Ireland fleeing the potato famine. He did not send the date of the names but if they are of interest I can give you the email of the sender.
