• Notes

  Medical: Daughter Martha Roy present at death. Cannot locate in 1841 census From Dalry 1837 Ayrshire Directory: (www.threetowners.com/Dalry/dalry_1837.htm ...at present there are about 1000 inhabitants, and the town consists of five streets, three of which diverge from a centre forming a small square; many of the houses are well built and the shops are neat.... 1871: died a "pauper, formerly sawyer" Ayrshire Miners' Rows 1913 (http://www.ayrshirehistory.org.uk/Bibliography/monos/amr2.htm) CARSEHEAD ROWS, DALRY. 1st Row. Wm. Baird & Co. Closets without doors. The first row contains 14 two apartment houses built of stone. The kitchen measures approximately 14 feet by 11 feet and the room 8 feet by 6 feet, and there is a cupboard which contains a set-in bed in addition. There are six dry-closets, without doors, for this row. Neither washing-houses nor coalhouses have been provided, but in many cases the people have built these outhouses for themselves. The closets, at the date of our visit, were very dirty, and very difficult of access if one wished to prevent his boots from being soiled. The syvors and cesspools in front of the houses were very dirty. The roadway is unpaved and very muddy. The rent is 1s 6d per week. 'Stickit' Row. Closets without doors. This row consists of 10 houses of two apartments built of stone. The kitchen measures approximately 12 feet by 10 feet and the room 12 feet by 9 feet. The rent is 5s 6d per month. In one house we found twelve persons, four of them grown up. There are four dry-closets, without doors, and they were all in a filthy condition. The ashpits are very large, and at the date of our visit filled with very foul material. Neither wash-houses nor coalhouses have been provided, but the people have built these conveniences for themselves. Some of the tenants complained that the houses were troubled with rats, and in the words of one tenant, 'They were rotten with damp.' 'Wee Stickit' Row. This row contains 9 two apartment houses built of stone. The kitchen measures approximately 12 feet by 11 feet and the room 10 feet by 9 feet. The rent is 5s 6d per month. [27] There are two dry-closets, without doors, and one ashpit built in front of the houses. Neither washing-houses nor coalhouses have been provided, but the people have built them for themselves. The Carsehead Rows have houses floored with the usual sunken, twisted, and cracked brick tiles. The roadways are all unpaved and muddy, and there is a huge mound of black 'blaes' in front of the rows which does not make the prospect any the more pleasing.
