Blair family of Dalrymple
« on: Saturday 11 February 23 17:59 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have a connection to the descendants of this family who lived at Holmes Farm, Dalrymple?

The young ladies on the right of my avatar may be sisters. My mother Mary Saxton is on the left and it may have been taken c1920.

Thank you Carole I have checked the surname interests table recently. I'm just trying a different tack as I have been able to contact some of my great-grandfather's siblings' descendants. I hope the apostrophes are in the right place! ;)

Absolutely spot on :)
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

Thank goodness for that, Forfarian.

I was trying to fasten some loose ends, so to speak. I had taken a photograph many years ago of a Scottish headstone including the 2 deaths which I was searching for today. I hadn't given them any thought as they were well down the list of names on the headstone, not the main family members. How informative are the Scottish memorials - thankfully.
