Hi Harrywrag,
Yes, I am only 10 minutes from there myself and have checked all records. They are probably in an unmarked grave somewhere.

Hi everyone
Is it possible that they were buried with parents or other relatives at New Abbey or Terregles? I know that in my case sometimes people were buried with in-laws etc. outside the area where they died.
Cupcake, did one of the Mein family marry a Strong?

Hi Lesley,
Have looked at the New Abbey & Terregles cemeteries. May have missed them. There a few at New Abbey, but didn't come accross a William.

Not sure if any married a Strong.

William Mein was my Great Grandmother ( Margaret Mein's father). She was bornTroqueer, Dumfries. They must have moved to Locharbriggs as William was a Quarry worker.

Margaret Mein married a Robert Johnstone Moffat -Plumber, English Street, Dumfries. Margaret had a daughter Janet Mein Moffat - Born Locharbriggs. She was my Grandmother. Margaret probably went home to Locharbriggs, to have her first born.

So, I have been looking for the Meins for a while now.

Thank you

Cupcake
