That's all for now.
I do hope these help or interest some distant cousin out there. If so, don't hesitate to get in touch. It's a complicated, inter-married family tree

Hi, I have been taking photo's of headstones in graveyards/cemeteries around East Lothian, transcribing them and adding a little research to the Find-a-Grave website.  I use it because it's free and open to all. 

I have just come across the memorial for James Finlayson & Catherine Smith their sons William & George. He was a Saddler in Dunbar. William was interred at Haddington, but James, Catherine & George are at Dunbar Parish Churchyard.

Thank you very much indeed.
Useful and filled in a few gaps and, of course, asked a few questions that I'm now trying to solve.
All the best
Brian
