hello Robyn Larkhall farm is about a mile out of Jedburgh on the back road to Hawick. You go up Castlehill and past the Jail on the Dunion Road. There are also holiday flats called Larkhall but these are reached by going up Exchange St in the middle of town and I dont know whether this area would have been known as Larkhall in 1841. I think there may be a Larkhall burn which runs round the back between the two areas. Were your ancestors living in the cottages or the main farmhouse? You can find Larkhall on the old-maps site or the modern ordnance survey maps which are also on line. As for churches, there are at least three at the present day. A Baptist Chapel on Bridge St, a church at the bottom of the High Street and another one with sterner architecture a bit further up. You could chuck a stone between the two. One of these is likely to have been the Free Church but not of course before the Disruption. As for burials, there is a large graveyard (still in use) up behind the Jail. I don't know if there are any smaller ones.
