Hello, I am new to the list, so I thought I would post my interests - I have Thomas BLACKLOCK (b. abt. 1840, d. 1827) and Isabella BEEBY (1738-1792), who married 7 November 1771. They are buried in the Old Annan Cemetery in Dumfries. Monumental inscriptions say he was a baker by trade. (Dumfries is where my Scottish Blacklock line originates, when their son Joseph married Jean GRAY in Dumfries in 1814.) It took me a while to find Thomas and Isabella's marriage, as I made the (incorrect) assumption that they, like all the Blacklocks I had been tracing up to this point, were from Scotland. Imagine my surprise and delight when I finally found them in St. Mary, Carlisle, Cumberland - just over the Solway Firth! New avenues to explore. I thought Blacklock was a Scottish name, but now I find it is English. I know that Isabella BEEBY was born in Wetheral, Cumberland. I have not been able to identify Thomas' birthplace, as there are likely candidates in both Dumfries and Cumberland and I haven't been able to investigate further yet. I'm waiting for parish microfilm from my local FHC. I would love to hear from anyone else who may have these families in their research. Kathy Judge Nemaric Orlando, FL, USA
