Alastair, Just out of curiosity, have you had your Y-DNA tested and/or do you know if you are connected to the Johnston/es in Poldean? Cliff.

I wonder if it could be the same place? The reason that I would expect it to be in this area is that the connection to this part of the Annan was quite strong, and her daughter Janet was married to Andrew Gillespie who was the Grocer/Postmaster at Millhousebridge. I have not as of yet found any other reference to Fishead Kemple but there is no misspelling or transcription error. I wrote down the MI myself from a grave in Lochmaben. The MI Reads: In memory of James Johnstone tenant of Lochbrow who died at Chinnies Jan 17th 1817 aged 77 years and Elizabeth Byers his spouse who also died at Fishhead Kemple Parish of Applegirth 31st Dec 1835 aged 83 years.
