Title: Ashkirk Manse
Post by: pelirroja on Thursday 08 December 16 21:39 GMT (UK)

I have a 3x great grandma baptized in 1805 at Ashkirk Manse.  Could someone tell me what that is?  A church?  Thanks for any help.

Hi, a Manse is the Church house where the minister lives, not the actual church.

Hi.  We live there now. The church is directly behind the Manse.
