Tranent Massacre/Glen's Inn

[Hibee]

29 August 1797.

Is the location in Tranent of Glen's Inn (around which much of the action took place) known?

Hi Hibee,

                it seems that Glen's Inn was at the hub of the problem, I wonder if that later became the local Meeting Place ( House ) in Tranent, I doubt if there was a street directory then. there was I know a Glen's Close.

Cheers.

Yes....Glen's Close was just along from Lady's Close, but I've not yet tracked down a street map showing either.

Thanks, Archie.

Hi Archie,

I am just new to site. I was interested in an older post you made in regards to the Young family. Unfortunately it looks like that thread is now closed. My Grandfather was James Young his parents were Archibald Young and Elizabeth Coutts. I have some information on the family tree and I am wondering if you can share some of your research.

Thanks

Hi Ginnygirl,

                 
                  Welcome to the huge family at RootsChat, good God another cousin Yippeeeee, I can give you the lot but the best way for you to see some of them is in the Address below thanks to Dave and Anita, Anita is another cousin of yours and she has been helping me for ages.

I have got back as far as 1580 and Anita has been a great help in double checking for me, once you have made three posts I can then give you my private e-mail address and from there more details, will that be Ok with you ?.

You have yet another cousin called Marge who's grandfather was William Young we are related through two brothers and a sister, more on Anita and Marge in private mails.

Hi Ginnygirl,

                    thanks for replying, just one more mail in RootsChat and I will be able to send you a private mail via the site, I can't believe I have yet another cousin, can I ask where you live please, not your address just the area.

I know that Anita and Marge will be over the Moon with another cousin as I am.

Hugs.

Your new cousin.

Archie.

Hi Sylvia,

              many thanks for the the link to Tranent Tower, I wonder how I missed that one it's very informative.
