Hi just reading the other day that under the legislation toll houses were supposed to be demolished once the capital was paid off. could that have something to do with it? try looking at the maps at www.nls.ac.uk Dont suppose you would find a toll house before 1750 unless perhaps it was for pontage (bridge tolls) Judy ---------- >From: "william robb" <williamrobb@bigpond.com> >To: DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: [D-G LIST] Buchan Tollbar >Date: 03, Tue Aug, 2004, 3:49 pm > > Hi everyone! > We've come across birth certificates that list the place of birth as being > Buchan Tollbar in Kelton.
