Title: Langholm / Langbedholm / Longbottom help
Post by: Jeffrey on Saturday 08 January 11 13:03 GMT (UK)
Dear List,
I have some GRAHAMS in my family tree from Langbedholm/Longboddom/Longbottom. It has been spelt many different ways.

Two questions :- where is it and is it the same place as Langholm?

Many thanks.

Judy

"The road had, after all, to go via Moffat, turning sharply to the left at Langbedholm two miles north of Beattock and then passing over the Chapel Brae to Moffat"

Thank you both very much for these references.
Definately think it is just a few miles from Beatock.

Thanks. Any other information would be gratefully received.
