The rest of the parish of
Fenwick, limited by the Glasgow road on the W, by No. 1 and the road to Galston

E., and by Kilmarnock parish on the S. - Contains the greater part of Fenwick
town, Midland, Landbed Mill, Marchbank, Angle, Aitkenhead, Loanfoot and
Damusternock.
I have examined the
Enumerator's Book for this district No. 8 - According to the extent of my
knowledge with Respect to the population therein contained is as correct as
possible - There is a decrease I believe, but to what cause this is to be
traced, it is difficult to say - David Dickie - 25 April 1851
The estimated number of such
persons who are returned in the subsequent pages as having slept in his district
on the night of March 30th, but who were there only temporarily - 3
males, 3 females, 6 Total,
Visitors.
