World War One / Re: Tapestry with WW1 names at RVI hospital
« on: Saturday 20 May 17 18:58 BST (UK) »
Yes BumbleB.
The names and regiments vary. I wonder if it would be possible to take a photograph.
I may get a chance to write the names down if not allowed to photograph it.

World War One / Tapestry with WW1 names at RVI hospital
« on: Saturday 20 May 17 17:48 BST (UK) »
Hello.
I hope that this is the correct place to post this information. This may be of some interest to some people.
I was at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, Newcastle upon Tyne and noticed a large sized tapestry which is hanging on the wall at the Leazes Wing of the hospital. It consists of the embroidery work of men who served in WW1 and presumably was part of rehabilitation for them. The mens' name are given as are the section of the army in which they served. It is a good source for historians who may be interested.

Dumfriesshire / Dunscore Graveyard - look up request.
« on: Saturday 20 May 17 10:48 BST (UK) »
Hi. It is quite some years since I have posted anything on here. I am researching my ancestor Agnes Blacklock nee McDougal. She died at Glenriddell Cottage near Moniaive but is (according to her death certificate) buried in the newer burial area of Dunscore. I was up there last week, staying over at the Auldgirth Inn. I had to laugh when I got to Dunscore - for which I had purposefully stayed over night for - to find that lots of the gravestones are hidden behind support corrocated sheets and scaffolding. Luck was definitely against me. May I ask - does anyone have access to the burial index or images for Agnes' possible gravestone? Thank you in anticipation.

Northumberland / Re: Branxton Peter Darling
« on: Sunday 26 June 16 11:45 BST (UK) »
Hi
My dad's mother was an Elliott and her father's mother was Elizabeth Darling who married Robert Elliott. Elizabeth's father was James Darling born Branxton in about 1804. His wife Mary nee Wilson was noted as being born at Ford. Robert Elliott and Elizabeth had many children of thier own including a son called Peter Darling Elliott.
My grandmother's maternal side were Straighan.
Thank you all for your input. I am sure there is a connection with all these Darling people.

Hello Habenero.
I'm presently half way through painting my bathroom ceiling and waiting for the paint to dry - I've just been surfing through this Northumberland board and know that this message is quite old now.
My own Darling family are related to Peter. I'll get back to you but would be interested in your connection also.

Hi Trish.
Here is my penny's worth if it is any good. I was having a good neb at Halton Hall near Halton Shields - on the B1318 road leading up from Chollerford. The hall is associated with the Blackett family but there was also mention of the surname Carnaby - I only noticed this as I have a former colleague with that surname. Hope this does not muddy the waters too much.

Kirkcudbrightshire / Re: Shaw
« on: Tuesday 14 June 16 10:31 BST (UK) »
Hello Shaw Clingan.
I am going to add my penny's worth and it is probably going to be useless but here goes...
My paternal side - the Murray family - married into the Shaw family at around about 1830 to 1833. James Murray and Elizabeth Shaw; their oldest child James is my 3 X great grandfather. I have traced the Shaw family back to Margaret Paterson, wife of William Shaw. They had several children and those children including a very elusive Samual Shaw. In my research I did come across a Samual Shaw family including the name Nicholas for a wife. My own Shaw family were based in Kirkpatrick Durham but more interestingly I have found them at a place called Corsgate where it seems there was a small stone mason environment. The name Clingan is very much associated with Kirkpatrick Durham. Corsgate is along a now disused road that used to travel north towards Corsock.
When I went up to Edinburgh to look at the kirk minutes I found an entry regarding William Shaw and Margaret Paterson. William may have lived at or near Arkland as did Margaret. When I visited Corsock last year the village people were very kind and helpful and I was introduced to one of the local farmers - Mr Shaw. He told me that his family had lived in this area for many centuries. I think that my William- who I cannot trace - was part of this family. I did toy with the idea that he may have gone with his son abroad with the intention of returning but never got back - a fantastical notion really. Whichever way the Shaw family with the name Nicholas did emigrate but they can be traced for the Dumfried area. Hope this has not clouded the waters too much for you.
