Legerwood
« on: Friday 07 January 11 15:02 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find info on Birkhillside Mansion House, where my GG grand mother worked/lived in the mansion,  found in the 1861 census.
Described as being in good repair, the house, not her!

Cheers for any info

Susan.

Thanks Elma!
How come i couldn't find that site?  ;D
It has a comment on the census return that the building was in good repair, not so now it seems!

Hi Susieq,

Hello Susan
I descend from the Shilliglaw's of Ledgerwood. Nice to see pictures of the place.
