All care was taken to ensure accuracy, but occasionally it isn’t possible to read the information, due to the quality of the surviving documents. When a best guess was made, this is indicated with a question mark in brackets (?). When one or more characters could not be identified, they are replaced with ‘#’. We cannot be held responsible for errors made as the transcriptions. These were made to the best of our ability.
The lists below are in order in which they were published in their respective newspapers. They may not be in strict chronological order. You can either read through the monthly listings, or you can use the search facility at the top-left corner of this page.

He was a weaver by trade...
MAN DROWNED – On Wednesday afternoon, James Brown, a pauper, residing in High Street, Kilmarnock, was found drowned in the lade which supplies the water to the Townhead Foundry. He had been seen shortly before sitting on the side of the lade, and could not have been above 20 minutes in the water. He was subject to severe epileptic fits and it is supposed that while attacked with one of these he had fallen into the stream, and so perished. He was a young man, about 30 years of age, and very quiet and inoffensive and is well known about the town. – Ayr Observer.
SUDDEN DEATH [abbreviated] – A death most alarmingly sudden occurred here on Saturday week, William Boyd, tacksman of Kilmaurs Quarry, called about seven o’clock in the evening of that day at Cameron’s ordinaire, near the foot of Fore Street, and seating himself at the public table, at which was also seated another person of the name of Cuthbertson, called for some soup and potatoes. These being served to him, he tendered a sixpence in payment, out of which it seems he had a trifling balance to receive. When Mrs Cameron brought back this she remarked something strange in his appearance and called Cuthbertson’s attention to it. Boyd was sitting erect in his chair neither eating nor speaking, a strange death-like hue was on his countenance, and a low gurgling sound issuing from the throat.... death was caused by a fit of apoplexy. Boyd was about the middle size – stout and muscular. He was in his 60th year, a widower, and his family are grown up. – Kilmarnock Journal.

The whole party began the descent together... when they reached the last hill, which descends on Glen Nevis on the one side and towards the Lochy on the other, Mr Grant again preceded his companions. His friends reached the inn about eight o’clock, and seemed much surprised on hearing he had not arrived before them... No trace of the missing gentleman was found till seven o’clock on the following (Tuesday) morning...
