Where is Alvah - COMPLETED
« on: Tuesday 24 May 05 16:28 UTC (UK) »
Hi,

can anyone tell me whether Alvah is close to Inverkeithny or Forgue.

I have a birthplace as Forgue on the one census, Inverkeithny on another and a christening in Alvah on the IGI. Could this all be the same person?

Here's a description of the parish border...

And some old photos which are nice...

www.theaa.co.uk gives you road distances Inverkeithny to Alvah is about 13 miles and about the same between Alvah and Forgue.

Hope this helps,
Pam
