Hi Glen

Many thanks for your reply

As we live in Co Durham, Berwick and Simprin are not to far away, so if there is any data you require please let us know.

Hi Glen

Thank you for your explanation of the terms.  But, how could we give someone our email address without causing problems as on other occassions this has enabled us too send large quantities of data to one another without using the chat room.

We would still be happy to receive any photographs of Simprin.

Dear Robeaz
Although your Catherine is not related to our tree there are many Whitelaws in the Glasgow area.  We have located an Archibald Whitelaw b1415 in Fife, in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (www.oxforddnb.com), and they were ejected in disgrace from Fenton Tower in East Lothian in the late 1500 (www.manager@fentontower.com).  There is also a book, a copy of which is in The National Library of Scotland (enquirers@nls.uk) called the House of Whitelaw by H. Vincent Whitelaw, you can obtain printouts of the family trees contained within for about £5 stirling.

If you have access to Genes Reunited or Ancestry I can give you more information.

Whitelaw Family

We are trying to trace the forebears of Alexander Whitelaw b1797 in Tweedmouth , wife Agnes Trotter b 1797.
His mother was Jane Newells of Tweedmouth.
His father was John Whitelaw of Simpran in Berwickshire.  Unfortunately, there are four Johns registered in Scotland’s People in that area none of which are from Simpran.

Has anyone further information they could share with us.

Dear Betty

Have you  any Whitelaws listed, if so, I will send further details

Looking forward to hearing from you

Margaret
