Barnsond? Irongray - completed
« on: Saturday 12 January 08 11:39 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone read this? I think it says 'Barnsond, Irongray' and 'Barnsond Cottage, Irongray'.  And does anyone know where it is?

hi julieann

there's a irongray church about 5 miles north west of dumfries
you would need a fairly detailed map to find it

Thanks.  Is Irongray an actual village?  I have a couple of photos from the 1920's which I will post.  I thought it must be a reasonable size if it has a church?

I just put Irongray into www.old-maps.co.uk and the first place I saw was called Battersan.

 Cheesy

I guess there were some spelling variations

doesn't seem to be a village as such
there are farms and cottages and an irongray bridge
the first photo looks like the train station

Thanks.  Food for thought.  I think that first pic is a railway station as well.  Smiley

Hi.

The word is Barnsoul.  If you Google it you will find there is a farm and caravan site at Barnsoul.

Irongray is just an area. 

I believe there was a station at Irongray.  I know where it was but that is all.

I live in the Irongray area so if I can help with photographs let me know.

That's great! Thanks Smiley

I found out about the railway. Irongray station was on the Cairn Valley light Railway, which was only in operation from about 1910 to 1949.

I will google Barnsoul

I have another couple of photos which may be around Irongray (they are all on the same page of an old photo album), probably taken late 1920's early 1930's.  I will post them, you never know, you may just recognise them.

Good to hear you found an MI for the couple.  Are they buried in Irongray Church Yard.  If you send me a PM I will see if I can get a photo of the grave stone.

The photo of the house could be the house at the old station but I will need to check that.

Barnsoul can be found close to the centre of this map - a few miles WNW of Dumfries.

http://www.nls.uk/maps/early/os_scotland_popular_list.html
Sheet 88 - Dumfries

It is closer to Newtonairds Station than Irongray - both stations on the Dumfries and Moniaive branch of the LM&SR (London Midland & Scottish Railway).
