Title: GOTHSKIRK (West Linton)
Post by: hemmy on Sunday 18 October 09 21:51 BST (UK)

My 7 x GGF, William Gothskirk from West Linton married Isobel Leishman in Dunsyre in 1717.  They had 6 sons, yet today this name seems to have disappeared. 

I haven't found Wm's birth yet.

Has anyone else come across this name in their research? 

There were also Gothskirk's living in West Calder around 1650's.

Hi

Have you tried searching for Godskirk or Gothskirt?  There seems to be a few variations of the surname Gothskirk in West Linton around that time.

Hi, No I haven't tried these variations.  Thanks for that, will try them.
