Hello ef003:

What a great find that information at the Wales library is.

Unfortunately I could find no way to view this information online. Of special interest is the line back to Bruce that you mentioned.

Might you know of a way to view this material online please?

Thank you.

Regards,

Jim Walker

Hello!

Seeing these posts regarding   Hamlyn-Williams   and   Drummond   is very interesting.

 I am related to this line through my 7th grandfather John Walker. His son Francis Walker's son was James Walker Esq. of Dalry and Captain Francis Walker.

This line includes the Williams - Drummonds from the Walkers of Hawthornden and Dalry who changed their name and removed Walker.

I would sincerely appreciate any assistance with my research please.

 I am interested in anything anyone would be kind enough to share. Pictures and stories would also be wonderful please?

Kind Regards,

Jim Walker

East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / Re: Denhams (Denholms) of Athelstaneford
« on: Friday 18 December 09 06:25 GMT (UK)  »
Hello:

In 1851 there are 8 Denhams in Prestonkirk parish. 8 DenHOLMs. Prestonkirk church is a stones' throw from Athelstaneford.

I believe one of my Walkers had a child by Janet Denham.

There are 18 DenHOLMs buried in the Prestonkirk churchyard.

I have been through the entire Athelstaneford churchyard, but unfortunately do not remember Denhams. I do have pictures of the church and yard if you'd like.

Please let me know if I can be of help.

Mr. Williams:

Thank you for your further information. I spent quite some time last night trying every conceivable search to no avail. I will now try your method.

My father and grandfather were ALSO stone masons and I have had the blessing to do several side jobs for friends. My father died when I was 19, but I had the privilidge to work alongside him on many jobs. My father was a true artist, and my grandfather actually lay brick when he was legally blind. I am as yet to own a home and will do work on my own place if that ever happens.

I see also that your residence is listed as Bridgend. My ancestral home in East Linton, Scotland was named Bridgend. It sits adjacent to the Tyne river in East Linton, East Lothian, Scotland.

I am hoping to visit Scotland and Wales in the summer of 2009 as I have been invited to compete at the Scottish Highland games Masters World Championships Heavy Athletics, if I can find a sponsor.

That would be a great time to visit the lands of my great uncles, and maybe find a living relative after 15 years of research.

Thank you again for your time and effort in sharing this research information.

I would send a personal mail, but listing e-mail addresses is not allowed in Europe apparently.

Your kindness is greatly appreciated by my wife and I.

Kind Regards,

Jim R Walker

>>>Are you aware of the Estate Records of the Williamas-Drummond family of Edwinsford Talley held at the National Library at Aberystwyth.
Nigel Williams<<

Hello Mr. Williams:

Thank you kindly for your reply and information.

Until your posting, I was unaware of this most interesting information. The small amount that I have was kindly presented to me by a gentleman in England.

What little I have read on the Williams - Drummond family has been very rewarding. I am open to any and all referrals.

Thank you for your time and energy. I will attempt to locate the library online and obtain information, possibly through the mail.

Kind Regards,

Jim Walker
