Hi,

Langholm actually has an archive centre, their website is http://www.langholmarchivecentre.org.uk/ they are very helpful and have a lot of information for the Langholm area. Also http://www.cairndhu.net/ has some information about the area and various publications.

Which families in particular are you interested in?

I was at Wauchope last saturday and found the graves of my great grandparents Isabella Johnstone and John Scoon. I would also be grateful if you can give me any information on the Johnstones of Langholm.

Hi Kenneth,

Just had a look at the Wauchope MI’s and have found the entry of an Isabella Johnstone wife of John Scoon died 1905 age 58.

Before I do anymore digging around is this the right family?
