AYRSHIRE
RIFLE VOLUNTEERS - MAYBOLE COMPANY MUSTER ROLL This volunteer militia
unit was formed in Maybole in1860 in response to rumours of an invasion
by the "Froggies" across the English Channel. This remarkable
set of documents was recently brought to light
by Andy Connelly, a local plumber. He does not recall how these unique
records came into
his possession but has generously contributed them for display here. The muster roll
of six double pages contains approximately
160 male names with year of birth, occupation, address and other notes.
