hi, the web address is www.scotlandsplaces.gov.uk the site is free to use let me know if you find the horese tax records ok, if not i can copy and send to you in e.mail another site that is interesting and also free is www.scran.ac.uk i just googled and there is a church at closeburn the library at dumfries ( the ewart) has gravestone inscriptions for parish churches around dumfries i would think they will have the one for closeburn i am in glasgow but my grandmother is burried in tinwald churchyard dumfries and i get down there a few times a year its possible i may be down there again on friday cant promise thou if you can give me the names you are looking for ,if i get down i could look up inscriptions for that name "s it may help you with info from stones if they are the same. i managed to help a chap in arizona with tinwald gravestone i found and the info from stone tied in with his search he came over in june and i met him at tinwald we had great day you could also put up post in dumfries room to see if anyone local would look up the gravestone incriptions as i say i may get down on friday but not sure yet the name i am searching is unusual name its staulkey it originates in suffolk england have got as far back as 1804 now hit a wall so most of my searching has been english records p.s. the name staulkey can only find one other with that name and he like me has no family so name will die out there just seems to have been tight knot with the name hope the horse tax records help you generaly find in small areas like that familys are connected

Thanks Harry I will look up the names and get back to you  I found the site and found the horse taxes it gave me an idea where the Nivisons lived so I could look for Charlotte Christening but she proves elusive but I wont give up  I have just recently found out about the Douglas connection thank you for offering you are very kind I appreciate it  so very much bye so  I can get onto finding the names I dont know how to go back and forth on the computer I usually press the wrong buton and loose everything so I darent leave this open to have a look  regards Jennifer

Hi Alen sorry I apologise for calling you Harry  I have looked up John Douglas born 1799 in Closeburn  and it seems he was living with his son  John Douglas born 1833 in Keir  in the 1881 scottish census in  Kelton Kirkudbrightshire so he will probably be buried there    I cant find Charlotte  Douglas born 1811  nee Nivison after the 1841 census for Roniston she isn,t in the 1851 census   I have to assume she died  John was an agricultural Labourer  so I wouldnt know where she is buried as I dont have a clue where roniston is I dont have information on any other family members sorry no parents for John or Charlotte  yet.WilliamDouglas born 1836 and Janet nee King born 1835   his wife moved to Farlam  Cumberland  before 1857 as they are on that census and had only one child in scotland Janet Douglas born 1855 and lived and died in Farlam   so I dont know if you find anyone  thanks for the help though I really appreciate it . I think you are right about the families being close knit if I could get Charlottes details it would open a few doors so I will keep on trying you have been a great help thanks again I wish at times I was over there it would be so easy to travel around to get info I reckon it would be great fun instead of being on a computer all the time dont worry if you cant find anything I appreciate your kindness   kind regards Jennifer
