Angus (Forfarshire) / Re: Leightonhill? Forest Cottage

Quite right Ev!  So have looked back and she was born on 7th March 1876 so that works out ok,

And her Grandparents were James Young, forester and Pamella Greenhill so this also matches.

I am interested in the tracing of my family tree, but am equally fascinated in the lifes/jobs/housing that they all experienced. 


Would anyone in the Leightonhill area know if the house still stands, and/or know what forest James may have worked in

Cheers

Ev and Forfarian,

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post,

Forfarian, I need to check with my mun re the district on any certificates she has.  Thanks for bringing this up, may save me a lot of time.  I am new to this sherlock holmes detective work!

Thanks for checking the census Ev,  Christina was born in London and her age woud be correct, but  iIthink I have different parent names, but then it may not have been her parents she was staying with on that date, I will need to trawl through my mums notes and get my head round who is who!

Thanks again x

Hi all,

Can anyone help with the location of a cottage. On the certificate, I think it says Leightonhill, Angus.  It this is correct does anyone know if there is still a building called Forest Cottage.  My Great Grandmother Christina Jessie Young b.1894 lived here

Thanks

Thanks China.  It gives me a better idea of who it may be in the family tree.  Your help is very much appreciated

Free Photo Restoration & Date Old Photographs / Can anyone confirm who these people are. ?Campbells Johnstone Bridge, Dumfries

Another couple of family photos, the first one I can identify the children at the front as being Grace, Jack and Janet Campbell and it must have been taken in the early to mid 1920's.  I beleive it may have been taken at Kinnelhall cottage, St Anns Bridge Dumfriesshire. 

The gentleman in the second photo may have been James Campbell 1841 - 1924 who was a farm manager at Goodhope farm. Does anyone share this relation and recognise the photo?

Thanks

Can anyone help me identify the era this photo was taken in?

I know it is a long shot, but I am also interested in seeing if anyone can identify the people in the photo.  It may be that they are McAdams who lived in the Dumfries area (possibly Whitehill Farm) or Johnstonbridge

Thanks
