Terregles Cemetry Look up

Sorry Gadget, I thought you were talking about the old the old ones not the new ones.

I will ask the wife for 12 lashes on your behalf if there is room.

I think at least 20 

My eyes gave up. I've been doing too much Photoshopping.

By the way, the lair number is 199. The previous entry is 198 and they are in number order.

1st Extension, section 5, lair 99 (possible mark looking like 199)

I believe the wife's name was Janet Darroch. I haven't found her death yet. They were originally from Ayrshire & Glasgow and the Terregles connection has only recently been confirmed by another member of the family.

I believe they farmed chickens in the Terregles area. I know not where 

[Gadget]

Married 1918, Blythswood.

That’s them. I have a death for a Janet Thomson in 1977 in the ‘Stranraer Area’. Not entirely convinced this is the correct Janet

Have you seen this ?

4 November 1941 Southern Reporter - Selkirk
MOTOR OFFENCE. Lachlan Thomson Smallholder., Valleyfield, Terregles parish, Kirkcudbright was fined £3 at Hawick Sheriff Court when he was found guilty of driving a car without due care and attention

[curiousgeorge1]

No I hadn’t seen that. Thanks for this. Smallholder would tie in with raising chickens.

Lachlan is not a direct line, one of eleven siblings. Widening the search of more recent relatives for general interest. Always good to add some colour to the basic facts.

Thanks again.

I have also come across other newspaper articles which refer to another Lachlan Thomson who I believe is his son. The story refers to 89 year old war veteran Lachlan Thomson being robbed of £800 pounds in 2016. Money was raised in the community for him.
