Hiya Bloodhound,

Welcome to Rootschat...

I'm not sure I have access or not - I've never looked but I am based in Edinburgh so next time I'm in the library I'll look.

Now what would help is a name or two  ;)

I'm good but I ain't that good LOL.

Pam

Good afternoon nice lady,in case you have not guessed it is my first struggle with this site so please forgive any foul ups.
 The information I have is as follows:-
       JAMES HOLDING =JANET HASTING
       11thAUGUST 1771 EDINBURGH
        PARISH ,EDINBURGH.MIDLOTHOTHIAN.
That is exactly as it is written.I was looking for GFatherx3 in Wigtown & that is when I discovered he was born in Edinburgh but again do'nt know when or where.So any help you can offer will be so gratefully recieved.  Steuart Holding.  :D
