Hi Patrick,

It is indeed Yancrum!

I found it on an old Ordnance Survey Map on the National Library of Scotland website (http://geo.nls.uk/maps/ , using the maps from 1843 - 1882 which is the first one on the list).

I've attached a clearer version of the map that you posted.  Yancrum is about 1 - 2 miles South West of Mid Calder.  Sadly, it no longer seems to exist.

Best wishes

If my ancestor died in that area Yancrum Mid Calder being a RC would there be a burial ground near by at that time 1853 ?
Thank you for the map link also.
