Former pupils from St Michaels , Irvine and who went into second year at
the new academy in Kilwinning. Please get in touch with me and I'll let
you know how the rest of us from that era have fared. Ex football team
and galavanters (preferably).
Great to have this avenue open to communicate with old friends.

Hi Hugh, I have recently been reminiscing about the Nylon Works at
Ardeer where I worked from its inception in 1968 till it shut down in
1980. I worked mainly in the 'shift lab' but also on Refineries, ADN
Crude, Hydrogen and Catalyst Plants. When the old place shut down most
of my workmates moved on to places like I.C.I.Teesside, The Middle East
or The North Sea. I ended up in the North Sea and have been offshore
since those happy days at Ardeer. It would be interesting to hear from
any of my old workmates from those bygone days. Let's see what miracles
your excellent website can do! Best regards to all the threetowners out
there.

Hi Kathleen, was looking at the three towners web site and seen your
note. As your friends husband is Jim Barr, and you were brought up in
Blakely Road, and as Jim is my brother in-law then I am assuming you are
the Kathleen that I grew up with. That stays around the corner from Jim.
If so, it was nice to see you when I was over last year. If I do have
the right person, I would love to hear from you and can be reached via
emial. Take Care, Isa

Hi there.
Just stumbled accross your web page by accident.(new to surfing). Found
the site excellent and very interesting. My name is Irene McMillan,
maiden name Ashcroft. i grew up in Arthur Street, then i moved to Miller
Road. i have very fond memories of my childhood. playing at the
Auchenharvie forest, over at the swamp. when it was iced over. I live in
Ardrossan now, and have three grown up children and seven wonderful
grandchildren. My husband went to st Micheals...david McMillan. I
was wondering if anyone in the threetowns area would happen to have old
photographs from 1948 - 1959 of St.Marys primary -&- Central
school...Now St. Peters Ardrossan.
i would also like to hear from anyone who remembers me from then...

Wonderful site. I am researching my family tree and my gr,gr grandmother
Elizabeth Kennedy Anderson was born in Ardrossan in Feb 1863. She
married John Murdoch in Mar 1885 in Kirkland St. Maybole. Her brothers
and sisters were Janet b.May 1866, Ann b.Jun 1868 Robert born Aug 1870
and James b.1864 and died 1870 and James born 1872 and died 1872. Her
parents were both dead before 1881 (James Anderson and Ann Young
Fraser). My aunt thinks there was a drowning accident but can't remember
details. Elizabeth was a domestic servant at 24 Royal Cres, Barony,
Lanark (1881 census). Janet was a servant (nurse) age 14 and Robert was
aged 11 and in an 'Industrial School', Maybole Road, Ayr. Any
information would be greatly appreciated. Maybe someone will know what
an 'Industrial School' was.
Regards, Liz

Hello to Scott McCallum, Gus Lauchlan. A great big hello
to you both - it would be great if we could have a re-union. My uncle
sent me the photo Scott posted on the web site - I have tried so many
times to find this. Have you heard from any of the others. Do you
remember June Henderson, she died when she was 16. e mail me. I have
been away from Saltcoats for a long time.
