"Annals of Sanquhar" by Tom Wilson
« on: Saturday 11 June 05 13:41 UTC (UK) »
Is there anyone out there who has viewed this book (published circa 1920's)?  Is there anyone who can give me specific information about Tom Wilson's sources.  I have a copy and there is extensive information about my John Barrie family (Robert Barrie etc); however what information has been written cannot be verified.  Would like to know where Wilson got his information.

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question, but perhaps you wouldn't mind helping me? Are there any references to either Turnbulls or Bells in the book? Thanks so much, Jane

Peter Turnbull of 4 Church Road, Sanquhar, was an engineer and axle manufacturer, blacksmith, general jobber etc. in 1908 according to accounts I have.

Friends,
just a guess, could Tom Wilson have gleaned some information from Dr J Moir Porteus book, "Gods Treasure House in Scotland".
here is a link for burials in Sanquhar by Tom Wilson hope this is of interest, http://www.rootschat.com/links/07wg/
