Hello
for some reason I'm no longer getting notified of any posts in this section
I have a lot of information on the Whitburn/West Calder Storrie/Story family - Here's what I have from West Calder cemetery and I have photos of all headstones in the older part, though I haven't finished transcribing them all as yet. The latter transcriptions are from Whitburn and I have photographs of those headstones.
