Thanks for replying with some info on the Dunn/Duns of Auchterarder. DDJJake was kind enough to supply some detail where records state that Andrew Dunn (my GG Grandfather) was born in either Auchtergaven or Auchterarder (quite some miles away). He died in Tibbermore which is sort of half way in between the two A's. I must admit I am having difficulty tracing back any detail on the Auchtergaven Dunn's. It would be nice to link into your Auchterarder Dunn's and perhaps there is a link in there somewhere?
I did not know the "Dunn" link to the Erskine clan and I always thought it was a sept of the McGregors. Thanks for the info.
I see you live in NZ. Have you visited Perthshire on your travels? I am slightly closer in that I stay in Edinburgh.
Regards

Thanks for replying. William was my 4 x Great Grandfather. My line descends from James (dob 29 Jul. 1789) who was Agnes's younger brother. Do you know where William and his wife Ann Smith are buried or when they died? I know little about them although I would presume they were farmers (most Warnocks are/were).

Cheers

Hi
Has anyone out there researched the Warnock Family who originated from East Kilbride? One of my anscestors was William Warnock born 7 Mar. 1757. He married an Ann Smith who was born in 1764. I know little about her. I am looking to confirm Williams anscestors, I think his parents were James Warnock who was married to a Mary Ritchie (Richie). I also believe James parents to be William Warnock who was married to Margaret Alexander but can anyone confirm this? Do you know where they were buried?

Would appeciate any help

Thanks

Thanks for the picture. We stay in Edinburgh but will certainly take a trip to Westerkirk some time soon.

Keep up the good work

Excellent webpage you have created. Really informative for your family and others. I didn't realise that there were so many Graham's in the Canonbie area. I presume Westerkirk is fairly nearby. Just my luck that I can't find a tap into your findings though there must be a Westerkirk link somewhere?

Thanks meantime.

Margaret55 - thanks for replying once more.

Yes I would be interested to see what you have on the "Grahams". It would also be handy to know what is on the inscription. I can be mailed at (*)

With luck the death cert of James Graham (Alexanders father) was 1855 which meant it contained a fair bit of detail regarding his children. It listed Isabel (DOB Abt 1799), John (Abt 1800) William (Abt 1805) and Agnes (Abt 1808). Said Alexander was about 1810. James Graham's spouse was Isabella Borthwick. James Grahams father was William Graham who was married to Agnes Byers. James Graham was born in the Parish of Tundergarth at somewhere called Lambmill (that may be wrong as the writing was a little illegible),

Hope this helps

RobertD

Thanks all for replying

Wul Graham - do you think your 4 x Grandfather is the brother of James Graham (Alexanders father)? Said James was also buried at Westerkirk (I think) - he died at Bentspath, Westerkirk on 8 May 1855. His death cert states his father was William Graham who married an Ann Byers. They had another child named George but I know little else.

Margaret55 - Robbiesmum was kind enough to send photos of said gravestone. Perhaps she would also be kind enough to send you a copy if you want one?

Reiver - no apologies required. Glad you took the time to help. I'm easily confused!

Regards to all

Hello Margaret55

Thanks for replying and for confirming Agnes Tidman's parents are Robert & Elizabeth Beattie. I also have her parents as Robert Beatty and Mary Johnston - do you agree?

Yes the Grahams certainly were a large family of 12! My wife descends from your GGGMothers older brother James. He was born about 1831 and died at Gilnockie Cottage, Canonbie on 27 Jun. 1877. I have Joan with a DOB of Abt 1832. Most of the Graham research that we have was carried out by my wifes cousin a few years ago. When time permits I try to add any missing links I can find. I do have a bit more detail on the Grahams but perhaps you already have carried out this research?

Cheers

Thanks for taking the time to look up the MI's. This is exactly what we are looking for. I visited the graveyard last week but gave up when I saw all the stones (and the weather was not too good). Does the book give any clues where the stones are located? If so we will call in again next time we are down that way.

Thanks once again for your help.
