Hi All, Haven't been on for a good few days, because had hubs home. There's always someone to throw a spanner in your works - and generally its him!! Never mind, onwards and upwards!!
Anyhoo, thanks Anne for all your info on the Denny graves! What a minefield of information you are!! I shall have a wee wander through and see who I bump into when i'm up there. :)
Thanks also to you Billy for the lairs at Denny. Should make it a tad easier to find the old rellys!! I still haven't made it back to Kilsyth yet, but hopefully soon. Anne, the way the weather has been today, you could have spent all morning in the library at Falkirk, but I'm sure there will be full days of rain to come in the near future, so best hang off 'til then and make it worth your while!!

Betty.

Hi Billy and Eastend. That would be quite a good name for a double act, wouldn't it!! Anyhoo, hubby came home, i ventured all the way to Kilsyth - to find it closed!! :o of all the days i picked to go and get soaked in the process, I picked the half day!! Just my luck!!  :'( So as i headed back for home, the rain subsided and i pulled into Denny cemetry(the one near the new high School. i thought there would be alot more older dates on the stones. Does anyone know if there is another cemetry in Denny thats older? i promptly got out my digital camera and started snapping all mentions of Andersons just incase any names crop up whilst we're all doing this. I've got a feeling i might be spending alot of time with the dead!! It was a lovely peaceful walk without the kids, but kept getting the feeling someone was watching!!?? Maybe it was all the bunnies!! So, I shall try the library another day! Billy, you mentioned that Anne was going to look up Falkirk library, who is she and what line does she decend from? My dad was also asking if you had any relatives near by? I think he's been bitten by the bug aswell!! Take care, Betty. :)

Hi Billy, Hope alls well with you this fine day!! Have made a phone call to Kilsyth Library to enquire if they had any records of old papers.  They say they have the Kilsyth Chronicle dating from 1898-1960, then a break of 24 years or so. They're on fische so i was hoping to take a run through at some point tomoz. My time doing this is also limited as i have 2 kids and for the obvious reasons, wouldn't dare take them to a peaceful library!! My hubs is back tomoz morning, so maybe i'll be able to sneak a couple of hours peace-if he'll let me!! Will let you know how i get on. Regards, Betty :D
