Title: Wilsons buried in Glencorse churchyard.
Post by: lorna llan on Saturday 22 February 14 20:08 GMT (UK)

I'm looking for records of the family of John Wilson, who was employed in building the reservoir at Glencorse. He lived there from 1820 till his death in 1850, and his widow Martha was living in East Calder/Kirknewton in 1851. I wonder if they are both buried in Glencorse , and possibly some of their children: John born 1812, James born 1824, Ann 1816, Margaret 1822, Jane 1826. If anyone has access to monumental inscriptions, I'd be glad to hear if they are in the book.

Hi lorna llan,

                         if you contact these people below they might be able to help, a group called Recording Angels record burial grounds and maybe with luck they have covered Glencorse, give them a shot and see.

Cheers.

Archie.

Thanks for the advice. I have written to ask for the MI book for Glencorse.
