Hi Lodger
I am still searching for answers.
From your list  of headstones do you have more info on Brownlee & Russell
Brownlee & Russell, Tomson & Forrest
Smith Hamilton & Brownlie, Sprinhill?

Thank you so much

Hello
I have been reviewing the remarks on this post and I see you commented you are a descendant of Alexander Brownlee (1802-1867) Married Jane/Jean Walker if so I would be interested in sharing some information as I am as well.
My email is *

Thank you
Marsha

Scotland / News Paper Article
« on: Thursday 24 November 22 19:18 GMT (UK)  »
Hi
I have found a news paper article from the Edinburgh Adviser dated Oct 26, 1790, story Oct 22, 1790, It is about Selkirkshire Game Duty. Sorry I can't attach it here, says there is an error, file is too large
Looks like a list of certificates issued, by the sheriff clerk
Could someone explain what Game duty is and why certain people are listed in this article?
Example are they like game wardens?
court appointed protectors of game?

Lanarkshire / Re: Brownlee at Headless cross farm
« on: Sunday 20 November 22 13:29 GMT (UK)  »
Good day everyone, just a bit of an update. I did make it to Scotland this summer and thanks to Lodger I did find the cemetery and a lot of Brownlee Headstones. I did get to spend a day at the research center, unfortunately my phone would not connect to their Wi Fi, so I could not access my tree, but I did find some information. Also, the land registry, to search sasines was not open to the public at that time so was unable to search any info on landowners of Headlesscross Farms. But on a good note, I did find who owns it now and we were able to stop in for a visit and to get a bit of information on the history. But i am still searching for information on how the Brownlee's became proprietors of the farm.
I know it is a bit of a long shot, but I am wondering if there are people who are for hire to search sasines for me?
I have ancestors whom cencus say were proprietors of Headless cross Farms, Headless cross Mains Farm, and I would also like to find out information on Hall of Torbane Farm?
Any and all help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you

Hello I have also traced my ancestors back to the Brownlee's of Headless cross, and my great grandfather raised Clydesdale horses at Torbane Hall Farm near Bathgate .
I sure would like to find someone who has more information.
I have found out there was a Torfoot Farm at Strathhaven I believe

Thank you everyone, Sorry I have been away and not on here.
We leave on Saturday and will be in Scotland July 4th, I am booked into the National Registrar for a day. Would I be able to find any history books,  on Headless cross Farms anywhere?
 I found the following: Could someone tell me what it means
No 118, 1781-09-15 pr21.267 James Brownlee of Headlesscross seised Sept 13 1781 in part of Headlesscross and teinds, parish of cambusnethan, on disposition by William Storry of Badallan

Thank you every one and thanks Lodger, Yes Janet Steel 1737 Marries James Brownlee 1735 so all those in those plots you speak of are them and there descendants. So if I looked up Old churchyard in Cambusnethan i could find directions?
