Valuation rolls

Scotlandspeople have lists of valuation rolls online now for several years, namely 1855, 1865, 1875, 1885, 1895. 1905, 1915, 1920, 1925, 1930 and 1935

These records are  free to search!  The search will give you the name of the householder, either tenant or owner and the address, so you don't need to pay a further 2 credits to see the page.

Here are all the Flemings in Cumnock.

The page gives more information on who owns the property and the occupation of the householder plus all the neighbours, so not a bad result for 2 credits!
Here is part of the page showing Glengyron Row with at least 5 of my relations!

While this is not nearly as good as a census, it does fill in between the censuses, and they cover more recent records (post 1911) for which not much else is available.

So you have nothing to lose by typing in even just a surname and a county, as often as you like and see what comes up!
