Hi, just spotted tis post, Weedingshall was last used as a residential childrens home 30 years ago. It was then used by social work services as 'day unit' for children who would not attend or follow school rules, in old fashioned terms a list D school. It has recently in the past two years closed altogether although the building still stands. Its on the corner of the grantsable cemetry and salmon inn road junction.

Stirlingshire / Re: HOGGAN

Hi to all the Hoggan watchers, I am pretty new to geneology and have recently started to follow my mothers side back. HUGE mistake she is a Hoggan, decended from Mathew Hay Hoggan and Margaret Alexander's daughter Agnes (my mums gran). Do you know how many Hoggans there were in Slamannan/Muiravonside at the turn of the century, hudreds and Slamannan's such a wee place. There are still quite a few left in the village although I'm not quite sure how were all conected, but i'll get there. there is one family story however that my gran told me years ago, that one of Mathews family to his first wife LIVED WITH one of Margarets family by her first husband as man and wife. IS that confusing or what, i've never been able to trace that one though. I do know that a large proportion of the Hoggans were buried at Muiravonside cemetry. Still twidling my pencil at this, if I come accross anything new i'll let you all know
