Hi Ian

I found my link to the Galloways of Covington and Thankerton at the weekend, and was astounded.

I can't count how many times I've been through those villages on the bus to Lanark. I always thought Covington was a great wee place, and now I have a family connection.

Reading the Waugh website confirmed what I'd found out myself.

Lindsey

Hi Lindsey,  I’m related to William who married Janet Prentice.  Who are your Galloway’s.

You’ll look at the wee village with different eyes now you know your family was there.   Would love to see the tomb for the family within the church yard.

Absolutely loved reading the Waugh information. Cheers Ian

The 1881 census Street Index shows what you mention, ADP:

There is mention here (and modern site map) http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/85817/details/covington+mill/ and also here www.visionofbritain.org.uk/place/place_page.jsp?p_id=17119

Is this connected to the family of millers you are looking at, Bob? www.waughfamily.ca/Galloway/

Monica  :)

Hi Monica,   I’m new to all of this but I’ve just seen your link for the Waugh / Galloway family - wow thank you I’m amazed… these are my family.  Thank you. Ian

Hi Bob,  it’s a long time since you first posted and I hope this reaches you.  We could be related ?
I’ve just started my research into my Galloway’s from Stirling, Covington and Thankerton. Would be great to chat. Cheers Ian
