Bridgend Cottage, Parish of Alvah

[Northern Jo]

Thank you Forfarian for taking the time to stop and take the photo ---- this looks like a lovely, modern, home.  I've found so many places called "Bridgend" while doing the research but cannot find anything that states, absolutely, where Bridgend Cottage, Alvah is/was. This will suffice until I get a "bee in my bonnet" again about finding out exactly where Grandma was born.

This, taken with my earlier post above, is exactly that statement. There is no other Bridgend in the parish of Alvah. I am telling you that this is the Bridgend where your Grandma was born, although the actual building she was born in no longer exists.

Once again Forfarian, thank you very much for stopping at Bridgend and providing the photo.

As I, unfortunately, don't have the funds and/or the time to travel to Scotland to tromp through the regions of my ancestors, everyone who takes the time to provide us with information about those areas is greatly appreciated.  If it wasn't for people like you, we would spend a lot more time banging our heads against those proverbial 'brick walls'.
