I have a relative born 1796 in Troqueer called William Kerr, the entry on Old Parish Records gives his parents names James Kerr & Catherine Wilson followed by the word "Mounthooly" I can't find this on any map Old or New, can anyone tell me what this refers to, name of a place, name of a Farm, name of a House, what is it please, Troqueer Parish Church entry.

I had planned to do this to look at Valuation Rolls not listed on their web site and this is what you will need to comply with if you too plan a visit. I am 80 years old an unable to comply with some of the things they require so had to cancel my request. I did not learn this until the last minute, I don't think they publish this for would be searchers.

Thank you for your reply.

Attached is an image of my Grandmothers Birth Certificate in 1874. Finding one word difficult
I think I can make out Cottage at Carlile Quay, then the word I can't make out then Paisly.
I looked up old maps and found Carlile Quay on the River Cart but not much else.

Hope someone can help.

Would anyone here have a photo, or know where one might be, of a small row of houses called "Heatherfield" just outside Limerigg on the Coorie Doon road to Airdrie by the side of The Black Loch.
