So I thought this was pretty cool...I knew you could look at old maps (historical 1841+), so I went here: https://www.scottish-places.info/towns/townmap3328.html to see Lymiecleuch, if you select 'historical' and then "+" zoom 3 times you can see the names of buildings like Park House, Lymiecleuch, Woodhouse, Marsh House, etc. and then go to freeCEN https://freecen1.freecen.org.uk/cgi/search.pl, select census year i.e. 1841 enter surname, county etc. select 'find' and you can now see who were the neighbours and who lived in what houses...very cool. Bonus for me was to see that my g-g-g-grandfather and wife lived next door to George Lindsay who was married to Margaret (she was Margaret Bell, my g-g-g-grandmothers sister! now it makes some sense that my g-g-grandfather was named George Lindsay Graham!)
