Hi
I have a book of the memorial inscriptions for Carrington.  I can't do it right now a sI have 3 children all wanting fed but I will look in it and see what I an find!
I also have family from CArrington and visited the village and churchyard and it is a really lovely place.  It looks like it hasn't changed for 100 years! I have an old postcard of carrington i could put on for you as well.

While you are looking in the  book for Leishmans,could I be cheeky & ask you to look for Collen or Collin as well?
I have just discovered that my 4x Great Grandfather William Lawson married Marion Collen/Collin at Carrington Primrose in 1809.I have no idea who her father was.
Thanks ;D

Hi
Sorry there are no leishams in the book.  This might mean that their stone is now illegible or was never there.
There are quite a few lawsons though none of them match. I will put the name son and if any of them look as though they might be related let me know and I will write it out.
isabella lawson
John lawson
matthew lawson
james p lawson and jane fs doyle
annnie lawson
Also one on the ww2 memorial- peter w s lawson

You never know they might be related!
If you want me to look for any more names just let me know.

Thankyou Caroline
I had a look at William and Marion's children & they had an Isabel b 1813 & James b 1812, all the children were baptised at Pencuick  & James married Jane Munro,not Doyle,so probably not mine.
Thanks for looking-as you say, there may be a connection later.I've only just started this branch of the family.
Much appreciated
Barbara :)
