Torthorwald Parish Cemetery

[MTracy61]

I am a beginner at this so please bear with me.  I am trying to find anyone that would be interested in taking a few photographs of my ancestors graves in Torthorwald for me.  It would help me out in my search.  If interested, anyone please contact.  I thank you very much and look forward to hearing from anyone.

Hi Mike, Welcome to the Dumfriesshire RootsChat  forum
I will gladly do that for you as soon as I can get a day of decent weather for photography.
South of England enjoying a late summera heat wave but NOT here in SW Scotland.

Have a look at http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,547468.0.html
where I took some photographs for a SNEDDON descendant.

I note the family names you are interested in from your contact through my website http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dfsgal
I will respond to your email later.  I already have a lot of Torthorwald and Glencairn photographs so I'll look over them first before considering your specific requests.
Cheers,
Sy

Hello,

Is there any chance that your photographs include any Hendersons?  I know that my 3rd great-grandparents, Thomas Henderson & Agnes Barton, are in Torthorwald, as someone was kind enough to send me a transcription of their stone, but I'd love to see a photo.

I'd also be interested in knowing if there are other Hendersons there.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for sending this info, but I'm afraid none of these Hendersons connects to my Hendersons. 

Would love a photo of the stone with Thomas Henderson & Agnes Barton if anyone is ever able to post that!

Thanks,
Heather

Hi. I know this is an old post but am new to Rootschat and wondered if you have any pictures of headstones for Hutchison. My family were born in Torthorwald and lived at the Racks
Many thanks

The posts from Heather regarding Thomas Henderson & Agnes Barton are pretty old.  These two are in my family tree and would appreciate any info anyone has about them to contact me.  Tom Little
