Dumfriesshire / Re: Armstrong/Rae in Eaglesfield Dumfries

I am researching my family ancestry in Eaglesfield Dumfriesshire. On a recent visit I found my relatives James Rae and Jane Grindlays resting place in Middlebie cemetery, but was unable to find any of the Armstrong's from my family.
Does any one know of another cemetery for Eaglesfeild? James and Janes Daughter, Mary married George Armstrong. These families were Clog makers and Masons/ Sculptors.
Grateful for any help,
Lynn :D
you could try Springkell or Carruthers?  Think the two families reside next to each other at Sunnybrae.

Sorry, I can't help regarding Armstrongs, but I do know that James Rae, Sculptor of Eaglesfield was my Great Grandfather on my Mothers' side of the family. My Grandmother was Eleanor Ormiston (nee Rae). James Rae and his wife Jane (nee Grindley) had nine children. I knew only a few: Eva Eden; Bonacasandra and of course my Grandmother. I know there were sons, James Jnr; Orlando & Oliver.
Bset wishes with your quest!
Also George and William (my paternal grandfather)
