Hi to those researching Shankland/Shankiland. I am trying to find a Janet Shank(i)land who married Andrew MENZIES. The couple baptised several children at Durisdeer in the 1700's and are recorded as being at Crairiehill, Enterkinfoot and Rigghouse. I have contacted the Shankland one name group but they cannot find a match for this couple. Their children were at Woodhouselee from at least 1841 onwards, with my ancestor, John Menzies born 1812 and his two younger brothers Robert and Thomas all leaving to live in Newark Nottinghamshire (John and Robert are there in 1841 and were joined very shortly afterwards by Thomas).
