Dumfriesshire / Lair list lookup? Lochmaben area
« on: Saturday 22 July 06 15:53 BST (UK)  »
I'm not familiar with how deaths and burial were recorded in the 1800's.

I need help locating  death and/or burial dates and places for James Lockerbie and his wife Jean Gilchrist Lockerbie.  They had two kids that I know of : Jean Smith Lockerbie born 1801 in parish of Urr and James born in 1807 parish of Kirkgunzeon .  I don't think they remained there but returned to Dumfriesshire.

Their son James married Mary Ann Pearson of Dalton about 1823 and had 3 children in the Lochmaben area.

If anyone could help me out I'd be grateful.

Dumfriesshire / Re: Braecroft, bryecroft?

Hi Clare, 
I believe they were all Church of Scotland.  Early on there were a few Lockerbies listed as Covenanters but I can't make a definite link to them yet.
I live in the US and need someone in Dumfriesshire to check cemetery listings or actual cemeteries, unless church registers hold death info.  James Lokerbie Senior was probably born around 1755/59 ,married about 1779.  Either in Dumfriesshire or Kircudbrightshire.  James Jr. immigrated to Ontario around 1835ish so his parents might have been dead by then.  I have a suspicion they died in Lochmaben.

Thank you for your interet
Susan

Hi John...sometimes minor miracles happen.  Yesterday someone contacted me with info written in a family bible.  I now know James Lockerbie was born 1807 at Byrecroft in Kirkgunzeon, Kircudbright.  He had a sister Jean Smith Lockerbie born at Crochmore in Irongray, on 28 Dec. 1801.  James' parents were definitely James Lockerbie and Jean Gilchrist (Gelkerst).  It was stated in a letter that James Sr. was an only child and he was raised by a James Grierson, as his parentd died when he was a child.  I don't know where he married Jean Gilchrist.

Now I really have my work cut out for me.  I'm hoping someone can help me find some clues in Kirkgunzeon.  Thank you for your intrest!!!

Midlothian / Bonnyrigg - Dalhousie Castle- Somerville
« on: Wednesday 28 June 06 15:16 BST (UK)  »
Jane Somerville Honeyman died 15 July 1938 at the stables of Dalhousie Castle.  She had returrned from living for a while in Canada to die at home. Does anyone know why some one very ill and dying would be there while the castle saw being used as a school?  Was any part of it used as a hospital? Her permanent address was in Lasswade.

The only other connection would be if her family was related to the castle owners.  Her parents were Archibald Malcolm and Jane Somerville Malcolm of Lasswade. who both died in 1893 and 1894. Jane Somerville Malcolm's parents were Alexander Somers (Somerville) and Elizabeth Adams.
Archibald Malcolm's parents were John Malcolm and Ann whose maiden name was possibly Kinnell , Kinnnie or Ramsie Hard to read on Jane's death certificate.
Also seeking thier burial spots.
