Janet, The Kirkconnel (the village) you are looking for is about 5 miles west of Sanquhar on the A76 road to New Cumnock. This is not the Kirkconnel/I in Urr or near Auchenreoch . Other Listers will have more information on the church and graveyard there. Using _www.streetmap.co.uk_ (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/) and typing Kirkconnel as the GB placename, the URL is: _http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=273303&y=612209&z=3&sv=kirkconnel&st= 3&tl=Kirkconnel,+Dumfries+&+Galloway+[Town]&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=newmap. srf_ (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=273303&y=612209&z=3&sv=kirkconnel&st=3&tl=Kirkconnel,+Dumfries+&+Galloway+[Town]&searchp=newsearch.srf&mapp=ne wmap.srf) You should also check out the Statisitcal Accounts of Scotland website at: _http://stat-acc-scot.edina.ac.uk_ (http://stat-acc-scot.edina.ac.uk/) for descriptions as of 1791-99 and 1845.
