[Allan Mac]

hi Caroline
Although the last two generations of my family (MacDougall) come from Peebles/Innerleithen - Rillbank, and my male line originates from Easdale, Argyll, i am interested in my paternal mothers line.  This line, Mac/McQueen was based in (amongst others) the Cambusnethan, Whelphill, Stoneyburn, Braxfield and Crawfordjohn areas.
Was facinated to see your posting and was wondering if your book has any references to the McQueens

Hi Caroline,  I don't know if your offer is still open but if it is...

I am interested in the Neilsons and Dicksons in Crawfordjohn in the latter half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th.  I have Jean Neilson who was married to William Gill in 1753 in the nearby parish of Wandell and Lamington and whose daughter Marion (b 1760 at Douglas) married a John Dickson at Douglas in 1794.  There were 4 children from the latter marriage William (b 1794 at Douglas), John (b 1796 at Douglas), Katherine (b 1799) and Robert (b 1803).  the last-named died in 1827 at Snarshead, Crawfordjohn and is recorded as having been buried in the churchyard at Crawfordjohn.  I don't know if John Dickson is the same as the John Dickson who died 15.7.1819 at Gilkerscleuch, Crawfordjohn where he had been the tenant farmer, but if it is, he had a sister Janet Dickson who was the spouse of Robert Neilson, tenant of Netherton of Crawfordjohn.  It would be very interesting if you could find any deaths relating to these people.  Regards, Malcolm

Hi, I realise this offer was a long time ago but I wonder if it still stands? I'm looking for the McMorrans, Weirs and Templetons in the area. Cans someone also help me with something? Most of the records I have say Crawford, but then some say Crawfordjohn. I can't find a Crawford in the area, are they the same place?
Thanks! Ruth

Hi Ruth,
Crawford is not the same place as Crawfordjohn, 2 distinctly different villages. Crawford is on the main road south between Glasgow and Carlisle, Crawfordjohn is on the main road to nowhere!
