I wish I'd come across this post months ago, as I could have told you straight away that my granny (Margaret Mein Carnegie nee Moffat) left Dumfries after she separated from my grandfather, Reginald Tupper Carnegie, in 1955, and moved to Inverkeilor to run The Chance Inn. I currently live just 7 miles from Inverkeilor and The Chance Inn has sadly been closed for several years now after the smoking ban meant the there were very few customers still going there. I have that photograph myself and it is definitely of my granny and her parents, William and Christina Moffat, so it would have been taken between 1955 an 1961 but I don't know exactly what year. Granny left Inverkeilor in 1961 and moved to Balham in south west London to be the landlady of bedsits in the large house that she bought and lived in. She died of throat cancer in London on 7th December 1969. My grandfather was an alcoholic and that's what led to the breakdown of their marriage in Dumfries. When my granny died he inherited her house in London (they never divorced as he refused to agree to a divorce) and he and lived there for a while with his second wife, Christine, before selling the house to his eldest son Alexander, ie my father. My grandfather ended up living in a caravan in the grounds of Caerlaverock Castle near Dumfries and he died of cirhossis of the liver on 7th December 1972.

Hello Cupcake
We haven't spoken for a few years. I'm Melissa , daughter of Alexander , son of Reginald Tupper Carnegie (d 07.12.1972) and Margaret Mein Moffat (d 07.12.1969), sister of George Campbell Moffat (d 26.10.1986, never married and no children), children of William and Christine Moffat, and William was the son of my great great grandather Robert Johnstone Moffat, the plumber at 35 English Street, Dumfries ... did you receive the photographs of his business premises/their flat and if so would you mind emailing me any that you have as I'd love to see them.
How are you getting on with your family tree? How far back have you gone now?
By the way, my dad has a brother and he lives in Chessington. He has one daughter , although you're only interested in the Moffats, I know ;-)
Kind regards
Melissa

Oooh, how exciting - a distant relative! There aren't many people left on my dad's side of the family that I know of! I will send you a PM this evening.

That's my mother and father and grandparents you're talking about. Why are you researching my family, can I ask? I will help you in whatever way I can.
