Hi Greg, Seeing the distinctive name CLEGHORN, I've been tempted many times to tell you that there is a well known photographer in Cardiff with this name. I know that this is a modern connection, but it may lead you to other avenues of research or fill in a few unexplained gaps. Mark Cleghorn, 374, Cyncoed Road, Cardiff. Tel. 029 2076 6800. It's the only Cleghorn listed in the central south Wales June 2000 phone book. Good hunting, Mike Steele, Blackwood, South Wales, Uk. -----Original Message----- From: Kay and Greg Blackburn <KayandGregB@xtra.co.nz> To: BORDER-L@rootsweb.com <BORDER-L@rootsweb.com> Date: 09 September 2000 07:48 Subject: Cleghorn: Drumelzier, Peebles, and other places. >Hello Borders Listers.
