Death in Closeburn, Dumfries-shire 1952
« on: Thursday 18 January 24 15:38 GMT (UK) »
My second posting today trying to ascertain the name of a cottage in Closeburn, Dumfries-shire where my 1st Cousin 3x removed died.
The writing is pretty clear on the clipping but I just can't make out the name.
As always I'd be chuffed to get this one deciphered as I've been trying for a while!

Thanks for that - it seems clear now when I look at it!

You've helped me before with something similar so many thanks again. (I'll keep the map for future reference too - just in case)

The Dunscore reference is to Dalgarnock. Not a lot there now but several of my ancestors are buried in the small graveyard at Dalgarno(ck) churchyard.
