I would appreciate your looking for Cray or Hay.  Both families were in Yester at some point but I dont know where quite a few of them are buried.
Thanks

Hi Buzzbyb
Their are 2 records in graveyard

1 Flat stone,         Burying place of John Hay late tenant **********,  Stone 5 to left of entrance gate
2 a wood panel inside the church presumably moved from the old church 
1686 an earl's coronet  for John Hay and is wife Jean Scott

Also in the notes it mentions ' From the index to the Edinburgh Commissariot Register of Testaments 1514-1800
Rachel Peacock relict of Andrew Hay Mason in Gifford, 12 1781
Their are also several records of John Hay earl of Tweeddaill 1654, 1654,1656, 1684

Hi Spacot,

What a very generous offer. :) I don't want to ask too much, but I'm looking for Gillan/Gillon/Gillane in Oldhamstocks, Spott and Innerwick? I also have Wallaces in Innerwick/Spott.

Thank you,
hume24

Hi Spacot,

Thanks very much for those. Unfortunately, I don't think any of them are mine. They must be all in Dunbar graveyard! :(

 :) :)Wow Spacot! Sorry to have made you do so much work!!! But thankyou so much for all the information.
I will have to hunt through all my records to see where these people fit in, but I'm sure they will fit in somewhere.
I would love the OPR's if possible thanks.
If you have any ancestors in the Prestonkirk area, I have a record of the People of Prestonkirk 1851 if you would like me to do any look ups.
Oh and Welcome to Rootchat! Its a brilliant site.
