Glenvorn?

[Gadget]

Good of you to use your own credits, Gadget.

I think I've exhaused my own searches for the moment so they're just lying there!
Sometimes it's the only way to find out

Thanks, Gadget I think it looks safe to put Glenvarren on my tree now. And thanks too, Forfarian, for the info on the siblings.

As an aside, I think I need to start looking at the valuation rolls. I've never really used them before, but it looks like maybe they'd be good for working out stuff like this.

Hello

Earlier, on the 1891 Census for Adam SCOTT, at Ewes, Dumfriesshire:-

Transcribed by FindMyPast as:-

House Name: Glenvorn,
Parish: Ewes
County: Dumfriesshire

 ----------

The newspaper Marriage image does say Glenvorn, Ewes, Langholm.

 ----------

In a written question to our UK Ordnance Survey, at Southampton (why names were missed off), they confirmed to me that not every house name or house number or place was placed on maps, as it was left to the Draughtsman's discretion.

 ----------

Added

If Fiddleton, Ewes, Dumfriesshire of Walter & Margaret McVittie (Walter a Roadman, 1891), was a property nearby?

British Listed Buildings
"Entry Name: Fiddleton Toll Bar Cottage, excluding single storey timber extension to east and double height brick extension to south, A7, Ewes, near Langholm

Fiddleton Toll Bar Cottage was built in the late-18th or early 19th century. It is a single storey with basement to rear (east), three-bay, rectangular-plan toll bar cottage, abutting the A7 Carlisle to Edinburgh road."

Silverhawk - if you don't have the marriage cert, send me a PM with your e-mail and I'll send it to you

Also, the groom and both the groom's and bride's fathers were shepherds, which might well suggest the remote dwelling.

1901 Census Schedule, Glenvorn possibly somewhere between Eweslees and Fiddleton?

Sikefoot property on the main road, South of Fiddleton.

The wrapped bales are in a narrow strip field between the A7 and the Ewes Water. Glenvarren Cottage is at the bottom left with Eweslees Farm on the right. The hill in the background is Whin Fell.
