Hi David,

Thanks for your response and your research is so much appreciated. You have provided some really interesting pieces of information.

This is some information that has been passed down through my family:
John of Allendale had 3 children - Canon, John, Ridley.
John of Leadhills married Jane French and they had 6 children - John, Robert, Louisa, George, Jane, Margaret.
Robert Henry married Louisa Gibb Becket and they had 4 children - Albert, Ronald, Percy, Gerald.
Albert French married Catherine Wallace and they had 7 children - Muriel, Hugh, Louisa, Rhoda, Patricia, Eric,  Denis. Eric and  Denis were twins.
Hugh French married Irene and they had 1 child - Gerald.  Gerald is my father.

I was told that John Nevin of Allendale was an influential man who lived in a large house called "The Riding". His son John was a lead mine agent at Allenheads before moving to Leadhills.

I also have information that Albert's brother Percy married Blanche and they had 3 children - Richard, David, Elizabeth. Another interesting story was Percy was engaged to Ellen and he went to war. He returned from war with his bride Blanche, so Ellen later married his brother Ronald.

Kind regards
Craig

My name is Craig Hugh Nevin and I am the eldest grandson of Hugh French Nevin. My father Gerald Nevin was the only child of Hugh and I am one of four grandsons of Hugh. I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa 1960's and I have only a few memories of Hugh as he passed away when I was a child. I remember my dad talking about uncle Dennis. I migrated to Australia with my family in 1999 and now reside in Warwick, Queensland. This is a family update for now and I will provide more details later:
