Hello Shona,

Attached the burial details of Annie Grimlay - and I've been researching all the names on the War Memorial at West Calder for a couple of years now, (there's two Graham's, one Frame, one Jamieson and one Dundas) and they're all mine.  Two of the Grimlay laddies are also there, so attached a wee report on their family.    Annie is in the same row as my Grandad Dundas 1st wife, she's probably almost opposite each other.  Until all the transcriptions are complete I won't be able to tell who if anyone else is in that plot, as the records are by year, all handwritten in a huge book, so once all the records are done, I'll be able to see (barring errors of course).   Donna at the Cemteries Office at Linlithgow, (phone no from West Lothian website) - she'll be able to tell you.

Better get on, at the coo's tail again ....  cheers ...  Meg



PS won't let me post the cemetery map

My mother is a Wight whose family had Burngrange Farm in West Calder for a time and were butchers with West Calder co-op and other places in the area.  Anyway I have a photo of a Willie Gowans as a young man.  I could upload it if you are interested.

hello again Majey,

Now which Wullie Gowans would that be, I remember them well, (my father was postman in West Calder and district), the Wights were also related to the Calders who are also in my line.    Would love to see the photo if you don't mind then I'll probably be able to identify which one it is!!

Many thanks ....
