Hi Lynda,

Pre 1855 Gravestone index has:

Alex Reid shipmaster lost at sea near the Isle of Bornholm 13.11.1872 aged 44 -- wife ---(w)elch died --------- their son George d Montrose 21.2.1900 45 (west side) s Douglas d saffi Morocco 11.1.1901 37, da Isabella Anderson d Montrose 13.11.1904 38, da Annie Largie d Johnshaven 20.4.1906 46, s David d Brentford Essex 17.2.1930 63, Susan Jane d Johnshaven 22.6.1934 78 (widow of Geo Reid)

Also in the notes:
Testaments: Benholm was in the St Andrews Commissariot and the following were noticed in that index - Wm Welsh at Burnhead of Benholm, 1733

and I have transcribed this:

IN MEMORY OF
ROBERT GREIG WELCH WHO DIED JUNE 30 1893
SON OF DAVID WELCH AND ANN HAY WELCH, JOHNSHAVEN
ALSO OF HIS SONS DAVID 1915 & JAMES DOUGLAS 1916

If any of these are connected let me know and I'll get you a photo.

Hello Jean,
I am not sure about the Reids or the Welchs', as I have not seen it transcribed this way.  I would be interested in the Willliam Welsh c1733 though as this is one of my lines of enquiry.   The David and Douglas are also names that  have run through the generations.
Yhank you for this information and I will check out the details that you have sent me.

Kind regards and many thanks,
Lynda

Would you be so kind , if you have any spare time to perhaps look to see if there is a "James Durward" buried at Benholm Please ? his occupation was farm overseer.

Hi JeanP,
Thankyou for your quick reply . :)
The time would be between 1834 -1884,unfortunatly i do not have the nam es of any farms he worked on .
He of course maybe not buried there ,as i only know his son was born in Benholm ( so thought perhaps my james Durward was buried there ) .

Thanks ,
Snowolf

Hello,

There are no entries for "Durward" on the Kirk Plan nor in the Communion Roll Book 1884-1895

Sorry
