Dumfriesshire / Re: Lymiecleuch (Limiecleuch, Lymiecleugh)
« on: Tuesday 07 February 23 01:19 GMT (UK)  »
So I thought this was pretty cool...I knew you could look at old maps (historical 1841+), so I went here: https://www.scottish-places.info/towns/townmap3328.html to see Lymiecleuch, if you select 'historical' and then "+" zoom 3 times you can see the names of buildings like Park House, Lymiecleuch, Woodhouse, Marsh House, etc. and then go to freeCEN https://freecen1.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl, select census year i.e. 1841 enter surname, county etc.  select 'find' and you can now see who were the neighbours and who lived in what houses...very cool.  Bonus for me was to see that my g-g-g-grandfather and wife lived next door to George Lindsay who was married to Margaret (she was Margaret Bell, my g-g-g-grandmothers sister! now it makes some sense that my g-g-grandfather was named George Lindsay Graham!)

trying to help, I've also posted a request to find out if anyone knows what's happened to Wul's website.

Try the search box at the top of the screen and type in 'westerkirk archibald graham' you might be able to find some info or google 'westerkirk archibald graham 1750 maybe the MI is posted some where else

If you could repost this as a jpg I can import this into Adobe Photoshop and see if I can use some filters and get this sharper and clearer and respond to you -- happy to do this for you  :) :)

Ev,

Excellent deduction...yes Corriemain, I think that's the right track...it would make sense since there was a hint awhile ago from a post about Agnes, William's wife coming from that area...hmmm...need to do some more investigative work!...much appreciated...It could be based on my grandfather's letter...his english in the letter was a puzzle as at first I thought was he 'illiterate'...the language was quite unusual....thanks again!...I will get to the bottom of this yet!

Grahamhunter,

I'm starting to believe that William Graham and Agnes Byers had two children named George based on your information
