Title: Need as much information as possible PLEASE on Margaret Little Birth abt 1670
Post by: Falleneagle on Sunday 26 April 15 01:45 BST (UK): Margaret Little
Birth abt 1670 in Scotland
Death 11 January 1740 in Langholm, Dumfries-shire, Scotland

Married to an Alexander Lochart (Lockhart) He was a Gardener in Langholm

I would like to know of any children they may have had as well as any other data. The Lockhart line is what I am most interested in but both side are wanted.

Many Thanks
Kevin

I've had a look at Scotlandspeople and familysearch but have not found anything except

for a John Lochart born Dumfries 1656. The trouble is, as I'm sure you've found, the further

back we go the less records that have survived :)

Good luck

Joy

On scotlandspeople there are three children baptised to an Alexander Lockie in Westerkirk.
Alexander b 1707, John b 1709 and Margaret b 1714.
I haven't checked these, but the spelling of Lockie rather than Lockhart sounds quite likely, and Westerkirk is near Langholm.
