Hi Margaret, I saw your posting about John Gemmell and Janet Tannahill. I'm also looking for these names in Fenwick. Your problem of finding "information" on Ancestry and being unable to confirm it through other sources is something I have experienced, too. After 20 years of searching for a marriage record I thought I had struck gold when I saw it on an Ancestry family tree. However, it was not to be found on the Family History database - which I had previously searched many times. I ordered the microfilm of the parish registers and looked for the original record. Yes, someone with the last name I was searching for did marry in that parish in 1795 but his first name was John not George and his wife's name was completely different from the one I was seeking. A detailed search of the rest of the records found no marriage record remotely like the one I sought. How these mistakes occur is puzzling as they are far more than a typing error. Lesson to be learned - double or triple check everything! Try going to www.familysearch.org and select the Family Tree option. Choose Find and enter the information about John Gemmell and Janet Tannahill and their date of marriage. I found a record of them and seven children. On the right of the screen there is a link titled Show All Changes. This will take you to a list of all additions and deletions made to this family tree. Nearly all of them were done by someone named Jamie Scott Kay whose e-mail address will appear when you click on the name. Maybe this person will be able to tell you the source of the information he/she has posted. Good luck with your search.

This couple are some of my great grandparents. I looked on Scotlands People and Family Search and there is no record of the marriage, so I am very interested to know where the details have came from. Some of their children were born at Horsehill. I am descended from Gemmells of Horsehill. I thought there might be someone on the list who is also descended from this couple before I try to track down the Burns family tree, I do not have an Ancestry subscription at the moment.
