Thanks for these links, particularly the galloway church/grave yards and MI's.
I'm off to trawl through them for my elusive Edgar's!!  Cheesy

Thank You!

That's a great post!  It will go in my Bookmarks, for reference and for many hours playimg! 

If you're just over the English border, without too much time to visit,  what goes on just the other side of it can be amazingly frustrating!!

Thank you again!

PS

I hope it's okay with all parties - I'm going to post a link on the Cumberland board for anyone else who has the same problem!

Thanks again!

Hi folks, I find the dumgal site ( dumfries and galloway council ) brilliant for looking up a census, just type in the area and name you are looking for.

Hi all,

If your Ancestors stepped o'er the border for a wee while.

I found this site very useful:-

http://website.orange.co.uk/website/owu.19th_century_longtown.87968120486411dd88a2ead75444eb08.1.html

On its home page their is useful information to Scotland's Presbyterians to think about.

The marriage link is also worth having a look at, as some refer to people from the Dumfrisshire parishes.

Kind regards

Charles
