Hi Marionbe

Welcome to RootsChat 

It would help people doing any searches for you if you could include some additional info, in particular:

~ names
~ family group you are looking for
~ approximate years

Hopefully, someone will be able to assist in finding some info on the family you are looking for.

Regards.

Peeps,  one of Burns' daughters married a guy Bishop from that area, I think he was the Factor of Polkemmet Estate, there is a list of Burns's descendants on "scotfamtree" I think she is buried in Whitburn. Could you be off the great man himself?........Skoosh.
