Thanks so much for the pictures of the headstone.

I also had a look at the church using Google Earth and Streetview

They will no be part of our family history for times to come.

Hello again,

Have you ever been to the UK and visited Annan. The reason I ask this, if you haven't, I could go to the churchyard and see if there are headstones and, take some photographs for you.

Hi,

Thank you for your kind offer.

 I would like a picture of the Headstone of Mary Bell and John Lindsay who are buried in the Annan Church yard if that is possible and if it exists still and is readable.

No hurry but if you are out and enjoying some love ly weather that would be nisce.

Thank You

Hi!

Yes thanks i know about the John Lindsay Nicholas Reid Marriage of 27 April 1815 Annan, that was his first wife who seems to have disappeared about 1819.

Nickolas Reid had a sister Catherine who married Thomas Youd from the Isle Of Man.

They had Jane Lindsay  born 1816 and her son was a Prime Minister of New Zealand Richard John Seddon.

I am descended from the Mary Bell and John Lindsay side.

Hi!,

Thank you for the Information on John Lindsay and Mary Bell in the monumental inscriptions of Annan Churchyard...they are both proven direct line ancestors of mine.

I have never been able to find a marriage for them anywhere but going on their first childs birth they must have been married about 1820. Mary Bell from subsequent census records appears to have been born in Gretna ...so I wonder if they were married there.?

Another question?


Cheers from Chris the Kiwi

Hi!,

Thank you for the piles of information you have provided.

I find the Benson churchyard memorials quite touching so many of the family died . It is interesting in my study of the Annan Lindsays because Lawrence Lindsay in the 1851 census took the name Benson as his middle name.

Also that 1851 census is interesting because Mary and Daniel in it are sister and brother of the head of the household though the census does not say that.

Thanks again

Hi!,

The Lindsay's at Hallmeadow seem to be the family. I did not know about the Hallmeadow location though it may prove helpful.
Of course ages seem a bit rounded though.

The Battery road family in 1811 I think are the likely parents of John at Hallmeadow but nothing is really obvious.

Thanks a lot for your help.

One other query I was wondering if there were any Reid, Reed or Bell familys in Annan on the same census.?

Interested also if there was a Benson at the Queensberry arms in 1821.?

I wonder also who the Flesher was in High St in Annan during these Census's.?

Sorry if too many questions

But thanks anyway

Hi,

I am trying to trace back my Lindsay ancestors in Annan . I have them already traced back to Battery street in Annan in 1841 as Fleshers (butchers) . There main place of business seemed to be as Fleshers (butchers) in High street Annan though.

I am wondering if there are many Lindsays in Annan in these early census's pre 1821 which would enable me to trace my 3rd gr grandfather John Lindsay and David Lindsay also Daniel Lindsay Fleshers (butchers)

Would it be difficult to get a list of all of the Lindsays in Annan on those early census records.

Thank you for whatever you can provide.
