Hi Archie,

I have seen your post about burials in Templar, I seem to be coming across a growing number of TAITS in my family tree coming from Templar would you be able to look for their burials?

Thanks in advance.

Kate

Hi Kate,

sorry for the delay in sending the names. I hope this will help you in finding your family.

All spellings are correct as they were registered.

Please notice how the spellings of names in the births section changes with the parents, they could not read or write, the Clerk would have asked, " Is the spelling correct " they would have replied " Yes "

Best regards.

Archie.

Hello Archie:
I didn't expect this much information - thats great! I believe that Wm. U. and Isobell Mark were my 6x great grandparents. William may have been the son of James U. and Isobel Dickson, whom you list. And I also guess (thats dangerous) that Isobell Mark was the daughter of William Merk/Agnes Addingstoune.
Thanks a million for this- I do appreciate it.

Hi lanar,


             Great to have been of help to you, do you know of their professions ?, I love to know what the local people done and what their lifestyle was. Your ancestors would have possibly lived in the old part of Temple or perhaps Clerkington, but by this date Temple was a large Parish, they would also have been married in the old Chapel built by the Knights Templar, that is my interest in the area as I am a Scottish Knight Templar this is the link to our site. http://www.skt.org.uk/  

When did your branch of the family go to Canada ?.

This link shows a headstone to Charles Umpherstone who died in 1681 and was a Tenant at Pentland, also Robert Umpherstone who died in 1624, he was married to Helen Alexander who after James had died then married James Currie . http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/PSAS_2002/pdf/vol_041/41_081_099.pdf

Which part of Canada are you in ?, we have family in a place called Campbellford Ontario, another branch of my family lived in London Ontario, we love Canada and the people they are so much like us.

[Templar75]

Hi lanar,

             it seems there is a mistake as to where William and Isobel were married, so it's toss the coin time Temple or Lasswade, these are two different Parishes someone has made a huge mistake at some time.

Can I ask why you thought of Temple please ?.

Archie.
