I would appreciate your looking for Cray or Hay.  Both families were in Yester at some point but I dont know where quite a few of them are buried.
Thanks

Hi Spacot,

What a very generous offer. I don't want to ask too much, but I'm looking for Gillan/Gillon/Gillane in Oldhamstocks, Spott and Innerwick? I also have Wallaces in Innerwick/Spott.

Hi Spacot,

Thanks very much for those. Unfortunately, I don't think any of them are mine. They must be all in Dunbar graveyard!

  :)Wow Spacot! Sorry to have made you do so much work!!! But thankyou so much for all the information.
I will have to hunt through all my records to see where these people fit in, but I'm sure they will fit in somewhere.
I would love the OPR's if possible thanks.
If you have any ancestors in the Prestonkirk area, I have a record of the People of Prestonkirk 1851 if you would like me to do any look ups.
Oh and Welcome to Rootchat! Its a brilliant site.
Regards
