would have liked tohave done,
however, we..•didspend an hour
or so in the cemetery there This
was a beautifully kept:' burial gr-
oiinds, with tambstones'dating back
to the early 1800's . .
The thing that most interested
rne"'besides finding many Johrst-.
tine tombstones was.•the vast num-
ber of :names that were exactly'
the same as those you will find,
in Greenhill in Lucknow.
This is really my purpose in .
writing this letter as it might ,give
travellers, who may be visiting
Scotland, a clue as to where .their
ancest+ocs hone rnight• have been
befosae•migrating to Canada. •
The' following is a .list, of names

FOR-
Gretna Green in Scotland juste i
the border between Scotland and
England, This made''
the town
famous for its.. Blacksmith
-Shop where mai runaway mar-
riages .were preformed and the
newlyweds crossed over the bord=
net, The blacksmith shop is still
there, including the anvil which
served as an alter in the marria-
ge ceremony , It is now a tour'
ist attraction.
This part of Scotland has many
historic places including,the:.bir-
thplace of Robert Burns, the poet,
at a little town called Alloway,
also the Brig-o-Doon near:.Ayr,
At the city of Dumfries may be
seen the .place where ,Iie lived' and
did his writing, and also his burial
'place, .
It is my wish that this letter
might 'be the means of givirig a .
clue as to where, some of the, or -
original families' of. the Lucknaw '
area may have originated.
