Perthshire / Samuel Arnott
« on: Tuesday 12 July 22 14:07 BST (UK)  »
I am doing research into Samuel Arnott (1852-1930) and understand that he was gifted a house Loveland, Castle Douglas Road Dumfries by Mrs Hope-Henderson of Afgaty near Doune. Although I have been told this was the case I have no substantive proof. If anyone can assist me with documentary proof it would be greatly appreciated

London and Middlesex / John Thomas Arnott

I am trying to find information on John Thomas Arnott who was born about 1851 in Dumfries Scotland. I note from his fathers tombstone that he died in 1894 and is buried at Tower Hamlets Cemetery in London.  Any information would be greatly appreciated

Dumfriesshire / Re: Samuel Arnott ( 1858-1930)

many thanks for help received. I am trying to find Samuel Arnott's grave in the Dumfries High Cemetery but so far have drawn a blank. I have searched most of the cemetery and have looked through the cemetery records in the Ewart Library in Dumfries  without success. There is a map of the cemetery in the Ewart but it is not very clear and is of limited value.

Dumfriesshire / Samuel Arnott ( 1858-1930)

I have been seeking information on the above in Kirkcudbrightshire but have now followed his move to Dumfries. According to one report he was given a house Lovelands, Castle Douglas Road Dumfries by Mrs Hope-Henderson of Argaty , near Doune. I have been unable to verify this as the Valuation Roll for 1930 shows the house transferred to Samuel's widow but I cannot find it in earlier Rolls. In addition while Scottish People have done their best to assist they have been unable to locate any information.

I am at a loss as to  how to proceed. Any suggestions would be most welcome

John  Arnott's tombstone is intact in St Mary's Churchyard in  Dumfries and contains his grave, and that of his wife Nicholas Richardson, together with a number of their children.

many thanks to all for assistance. John Arnott is the  son of Samuel Arnott and Elizabeth ( Callie?)He died 25/2/1858 aged 39 and is buried in St Mary's Churchyard in Dumfries. It is possible that  the memorial has been destroyed but the burial place is recorded on the Death Certificate. There is a fragment of a memorial showing the death of John's son Samuel's first wife and his daughter and this may be all that remains of the original memorial but , as yet, I have not looked into the matter in greater detail

Many thanks for all the help regarding Samuel Arnott- this has taken me much further in my research I have however run it to a problem with Samuel Arnott( 1787? to 1867) and his wife Elizabeth Colle. According to John Arnott death certificate Samuel and his wife were both alive in 1858. I have however  not been able to find a death certificate for Elizabeth or find the family on census returns. There are a number of Arnotts but none seem to fit the picture. I must be missing something but appear to have run into a brick wall

Kirkcudbrightshire / Samuel Arnott

I am researching Samuel Arnott (1852-1930) and have information on his political career and also his work as a botanist. I note however that some reports claim he was a scientist but cannot verify this, so any evidence to support this claim would be most welcome. I also have not been able to establish where he  was buried as I have not been able to gain  access to the library records at present. Finally could anyone confirm that Arnott Terrace in Troqueer is named in his honour. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Roxburghshire / Robin and Jamie MacTaggart
« on: Sunday 07 February 21 22:34 GMT (UK)  »
Trying to find my childhood friends Jamie and Robin MacTaggart and wondered if their deaths were recorded in Hawick Cemetery's. Jamie, , as far as I can remember was killed when taking part in a TT Race in 1967 and would be born in 1942. His brother Robin emigrated to South Africa and may be a Robin MacTaggart born in 1941 and died in 1981.
