Hi Binkie

It's very small - do you have a larger version?

The best I can make of it is Duglastoun Undecided

I agree Gadget but also looks like "Bridge" comes after that.

Hi Dave

It's written twice - once describing the residence of the parents, where it is not further described and then after the first witness which had Bridge end after it (end on next line).

Much clearer now. Yes, see it now Gadget. I'd go with Juglestown after comparing the "J" in the other names.

Never heard of it though and I can find nothing on Google.

Methinks a bit more local knowledge required.

The problem is that some of these old 'ferm touns' have disppeared totally - often in what is sometimes referred to as the Lowland Clearances Sad

I only found where my ancestors lived by going to one of the very early maps on : http://www.nls.uk/maps/index.html

Even then it took me ages to locate Undecided

Thanks Gadget & daval57.

My cousin Isles aka Bervonian has phoned me to suggest it might be Inglestoun which seems more likely but the proof of the pudding would be if anything could be found on an old map so I'll have to keep searching!!!

I've just looked at two of the early maps on the site link that I gave - 1741 Williaqm Edgar and the 1775 Mostyn Armstrong and I can';t find anything that fits Sad

Thanks once again, Gadget.
As you said in a previous posting, it's quite likely that the place might not even be on an old map but your continued efforts are much appreciated

I'd say Inglestoun. I live in the Parish of Newlands and have never heard of it.
I do have The History of Peeblesshire Vols 1,11,111 which I'll check out

Thanks Mrs A

I'm ashamed to admit it but I made a mistake when I said Newlands. On looking through my records Jean Murray was born in Dolphinton, Lanarkshire while the rest of her brothers & sisters were born in West Linton, Peebles.

I've had a look at various old maps but haven't been able to see an Inglestoun although Bridge End is clear as part of Dolphinton.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Isn't that part of Edinburgh & not at Bridge End in Dolphinton?
