Denholms In Alva
« on: Friday 24 April 09 19:59 BST (UK) »
Anyone researching this surname in Alva please let me know - trying to find ultimately where the denholms that ended up in Alva circa 1815-1820 were from......

I believe there may still be denholms there that are related to my partner - his branch left in 1908 for Canada, but have found death records into the 1940's for relatives of his family....

Thanks
