Loudoun Kirk circa 12th century

Loudoun Kirk Burials

This is a new website which we hope will help family history researchers find answers and be a means to contact other researchers. We now have a substantial database of families and connected families which we are willing to share. Although specifically interested in Loudounkirk we may be able to help with the Loudoun and Galston parish queries and if we can't, maybe someone else can. If you think you have family buried in Loudounkirk, please let us know, we'd like to hear from you.

Once you get your page for the event registration, click on "add a new page". Title the page, surname first and add the year prefixed by B M D, depending on the event, select the template from the menu, add key words, i.e. surnames of whoever appears on the registration, and "Add the page" and once it is downloaded, Click on Easy Edit, here you can complete the template, add extra information as necessary. Save your page and if you have more registrations to add, go back to the event registration and add another new page.

Helen Nisbet Wardrop, born Louden in 1852, married James Andrew , born 14 May 1849 in Monkton. became married but I have no date. Jame's father was William Andrew born1788 in Monkton.
I have been told that Helen's parents were Thomas Wardrop, born about 1814 in Ladyton, Loudon and her mother was Janet Vallance. I have no explanation for the mother's name nor do I know where she got the Nisbet part of her name from. I was also told that Helen had a sister named Mary Wardrop who married John Orr in 1869, and another sister named Jean Allison Wardrop bron 1855.
Other than the marriage of my anscestor James Andrew to Helen Nisbet Wardrop, I have not confirming documentation, only an e-mail, which i've lost, from a nice lady.
I would apprecaite any infomation on James Andrew and Helen Nisbet Wardrop family connections.
Thank you
