I am trying piece together a tree for the Dryden family of Lochmaben, Dumfries, founders of Kinnelbanks Mill (its ruins now a registered historic monument).
Does anyone have access to Lochmaben's C18th parish registers?
Many thanks.

DRYDEN in LOCHMABEN
DGFHS -- www.dgfhs.org.uk -- in recent years have published all the Shannon/Gilchrist Annandale graveyard surveys of the 1960s. I was one of the volunteers involved in the booklet layout and a partial photographic survey of Lochmaben and the neighbouring Applegarth graveyard.
We have recorded four Dryden memorials for Lochmaben and just the one for Applegarth.
[Note that the very similar name BRYDEN, a quite different family, also occurs in this area so care needs to be taken not to confuse the two.]

Wonderful additions to the family tree and clarifies the connection to the Jardine 'cousins', who were said to have made their fortune in Hong Kong. Thank you!

Hi, my husband and I are the most recent owners of Kinnel Mill (aka Kinnelbanks Mill). I would be interested in any information about the mill and previous owners. We would like to restore the mill, so any photos of how it has looked in the past would be useful. We haven't seen a photo of it with a roof!
In an ideal world we would like to reinstate the water wheel to create hydroelectric energy to power the cottages, and make the mill into a bothy for any passing cyclists or walkers on the Annandale Way route which passes past the property, who may have an interest in the historic buildings along the route, hence our request for information as we would provide an information board or similar interpretive media. However, we are still looking into funding/grants etc so not sure how realistic that is yet! Also, if there are any records of the mill flooding that would also be useful!

hi my grand parents lived at the mill, he was a master miller I have 1 photo of the standing in the doorway, I also have a few birth certs and death certs for him, his name was Herbert, my mother was born in Glasgow. I have been trying to trace any of the family but so far no luck, I have never met any of that sie of the family
my mail addy is (*)
regards ray

Hello nemisis
I am new to genealogy and I am keen to find out more about my late mother's life. She lived at Kinnelbanks for a while as a child abt 1926 I would guess. Her Great Grandfather was Herbert Kennedy Dryden b 1827 and he was married to Jean Aitken on 23rd December 1849. His mother was Helen Paul I don't know who his father was. I wonder if the photo you have could also be a relative of mine?

Hi kiltwithaview. My great grandmother was Isabella Kirk Dryden one of eight children of Herbert Kennedy Dryden b abt 1827 and married to Jean Aitken on 23/12/1849. In 1861, 1871, 1881 they were living at Kinnelbanks, Lochmaben. Herbert K Dryden died in 1883 and is buried in Lockerbie. My late mother also stayed there as a child, and I believe she stayed at Dunscore. Very interested in your photos and any other info you may have.

Lesley perhaps we are related! My Great Great Grandfather was Herbert K Dryden b abt 1827 d 1883 buried in Lockerbie and his daughter Isabella Kirk Dryden was my Great Grand Mother. Would you share your family tree with me so that I can check the connection. My late mum lived at Kinnelbanks for a wee while as a child.
