West Lothian (Linlithgowshire) / Re: Entryfoot and Mosshouses, Torphichen

Hello Sheila,
I haven't found anymore information on Entryfoot since Glennis's posts. She really helped a lot with this one. It's so amazing having someone right there to talk to the present owner.

Reading on the Arthur family website, baptism records for Janet Graham Arthur's children always referred to their home as "Bedlormie Entryfoot" since these cottages were on the grounds of the Bedlormie estate.
This was in the 1830-1850s. In John Graham's will dated 1852, he mentions that land had been owned by a Sir Thomas Livingstone. of West Quarter and Bedlormie Baronet.

You have probably already searched it, but have you tried the Nova Scotia archives https://www.novascotiagenealogy.com/ResultsPage.aspx there appears to be a lot of Pollards there in the vitals. I haven't done much searching in Nova Scotia, so don't have much to suggest there.

Sincerely, Tracey

Can anyone help decipher the village or farm name in this 1771 OPR for Dalry, Ayrshire?  ??? To me it looks something like KEYLOCHMINIE but I can't find any such place.

Hello,
If your offer still stands, I would greatly appreciate a copy of what you have for the Hamilton - Letham headstone.
Many thanks,

Hello Glennis,
Your visitor's family must have taken over the tenancy of Mosshouses Farm after our Graham's gave it up sometime between 1861-1871.  They relocated to Lanarkshire after that.  I have not come across the Nelson or Middleton families in connection to ours before.  I just went back over the census pages that I had saved for Torphichen between 1841 and 1891, but could not find those names mentioned either.  But I did not download all the pages, just those for my family past the 1841 entries.

Best of luck to him in his search....the Scotlandspeople website is still his best bet.

Thankyou Glennis for all your hard work.  I've been out of town the last two days and just got your posting.  I can't wait to contact the local history centre there.  This is so great!
