Hi Angus

I'm new to rootchat. I posted a message last week on the "Benholm" pages about my forebears, William my GGGG Grandfather And Charles Beattie My GGG Grandfather. Charles is buried at Benholm Churchyard and there is a headstone. Please check my other post and if you have any additional details that would be great.

Regards

Bill

Hi There

With reference to postings from "angusg" and "jeanp" some of my forebears are buried in the churchyard at Benholm.

There is a headstone to my GGG Grandfather Charles Beattie (died 1871) and his second wife Elizabeth Smith. My line come from his first marriage to Jean Ford. She gave birth her one child, Jonathan my GG Grandfather in 1850 a few years before her death in 1852 aged 32. The family lived as tennant farmers in "brawliemuir" farm not far from the church from around 1810 until some time after 1871.

I don't know if Jean Ford is buried in the churchyard, although there is a J Ford marked on the plan to the SE of the church near the wall.

It was good to find out from "angusg" that my GGGG Grandparents William Beattie and Isobel Kennedy are also buried there. Although I can't see where from the churchyard plan.

If anyone has any further information that would be great.

Regards
Bill
