What does this say: Lochmaben Quarry name?
« on: Sunday 07 December 08 13:19 GMT (UK) »
Tried to google Lochmaben quarries but didn't find anything similar?

It looks like Flagg or Hlagg (not likely?)?

Does anyone know the Lochmaben quarries?  This is the birth of James JArdine in 1797 to Alexander Jardine and Jean Sanders.

Hi Pam

maybe a look at a map for the appropriate time era could give the quarry name or a clue to the name.I agree with looks like Flagg or Hlagg and agree not likely :).I am origanally from that neck of the woods and nothing ringing any bells also asked a local in Lockerbie with good local knowledge still no bells ringing.Maybe the quarry name could be someones surname,try it with soundex.

Hi Pam,

Did you discover the quarry? I keep coming back to it and trying new variations in search, but nothing pops up.

Nope nothing yet jamjar.

Though I've been diverted onto my bf's tree.  A trip to the library anda chance to look at the big maps may help.

Thanks for asking  :)

Hi Boongie Pam,

Are there any other references on the doc?

It may not be Quarry !!

Corncockle Quarry is the only Quarry in Lochmaben taht I know of.  Will require a search of the late 18th Century for any historic and now disused quarries I reckon.

Kojak :-)
Green, Gibson, Ross, Telfer, Pattie, Jardine, Hay, Kennedy, Dickson, in Dumfriesshire esp Applegarth, Lochmaben and Kirkcudbright

Thom, Raeburn, Grant and Allan (Mainly Banffshire - 16th-19th century but also old Aberdeenshire) as well as having an interest in Cruickshank (in Banffshire circa mid 19th century)
Cormack & McBain in Ross and Cromerty and Banffshire/Aberdeenshire pre 20th century

McClelland, MacNeill (Argyll, Scotland and Northern Ireland), MacCully, Carson, Northern Ireland

That is the line I was taking, also, Kojak.

If it is the month of June, then it's the 'a' in quarry that looks like the 'u' in June.

I checked one of my certs and the part that looks like the 'H' is part of a double 's' on mine.

Not an easy one.

Could it be the name of a house?

Hi Jamjar,

If the first letter is "s" could it be slag(g) quarry?

Isn't slag a term for waste quarried material?

Or perhaps it is the name of the quarry owner?

Interesting query...
