Sorry, I didn't look at the page with the 5 matches because I would have had to pay a credit and I had none left.

Dumfriesshire / Re: Marriage Lookups
« on: Saturday 05 November 05 22:47 GMT (UK)  »
there is a marriage for a grace ewart lindsay on the LDS site. which is free      ;)    at   http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=igi/search_IGI.asp&clear_form=true

A Grace Ewert Lindsay married James Beath 8 July 1862 in Dundee - Could this be yours?. There was certainly no-one of that name married in Dumfriesshire on ScotlandsPeople.  There are lots of Catherine Lindsays on the LDS but no way of telling if one is yours...

Both marriages should be available on the ScotlandsPeople website unless Grace was less than 19 years old when she married.

Dumfriesshire / Re: Does anyone know where to find Kirk Session Minutes

Hi Pam
Thanks - I will try to get to NAS again. I meant to write tht I'd looked in the NAS rather than the GROS.   I couldn't find anything in the index when I was in Edinburgh earlier in the year.  I can't understand why they are not indexed on the NAS website!  Various other KS records are.  Certainly Annan Presbytery records are there and sometimes cases from individual KSs were referred to the Presbytery.  I need the to check individual KS as they are useful for tracing parents of illegitimate children.  The mothers were hauled up to be "admonished" and asked to say who the father was etc... 
I will keep looking I'm really interested in the mid 19C when my gg grandfather was the first of two illegitimate sons of an Anne Johnston/e.  If you can point me to the correct reference numbers from the NAS index I'd be grateful.  I know they usually begin with CH/ 

With thanks  :)

Thank you very much indeed for the info - it saves me a long trip to Carlisle.  Please let me know if there is anything I can look up for you in the south west of Scotland.
