Hello Jeanne Kersewell Mains lies just over two miles north east of Carnwath on the A70 Road (Carnwath to Edinburgh), it is still there or was when I passed there a year ago. It is marked on the Ordnance Survey Map 336 and also on the Ordnance Survey 72 map. Hope that this helps Jim

If you go to the Geograph site at http://www.geograph.org.uk/ and key in NT0148 into the search box at the top left, you will see photos taken in the immediate neighbourhood of Kersewell Mains.

Is it a parish? I'm also curious about the reference to Kersewell Mains Farm House. Was it one specific place or was any farm in the area identified that way for the purpose of the Census? Thanks again, Jeanne

Morning all, Can anyone tell me anything about Kersewell Mains? I find it listed as the address on the 1871 Census, specifically "Kersewell Mains Farm Ho(use)" There's very little on Google, but interestingly and coincidentally, that an alternative name is Waulkmill. Jeanne

Thank you Cindy for the url of Bell's Pottery, it was very interesting. Searching on 'google' there are many other books on Lanarkshire and Scottish Potteries listed on 'google books'. One book named Scottish Potteries gives the Bell Pottery a glowing description. Many thanks, Jenny

My gt gt gf came out on the Triton 1825 to NSW with a Walkinshaw. Could look up further details if of interest to anyone. Jean

A quick Free search of Scotlands People showed one marriage between a Margaret McNab and (Christian name unknown ??) McLean between 1936 and 1950.. so perhaps that is why she had the name McLean. I have run out of credits to go any further for you unfortunately.

Gene You mentioned that she may have been a "base born" daughter. Does that mean 'illegitimate'? If she was illegitimate then it is likely that her birth was registered under her mother's maiden name, which may have been 'McNab'. The birth certificate should tell you this. Her mother may have married after she was born and Margaret may have then taken her step-father's name. The third name could suggest that her marriage to Glen was her second marriage. Perhaps her first husband died during WW2. All supposition, of course, but the birth and marriage certificates may supply the answers.

Hello Gene Margaret McLean married Gene R H A G Hutson in Blantyre in 1950 and the marriage was registered under 3 names: Margaret McLean; Margaret McNab; and Margaret Ward. (source: marriage index on the Scotlands People website). It might be worthwhile sending off for the marriage certificate through the site. I think it costs £10 sterling. The birth of a Margaret McNab was registered in Blantyre in 1923 (but no Margaret McLean or Ward). Again, it may be worthwhile sending off for the certificate.

Just to add a little to this thread, there are many places named WAULKMILL in lowland Scotland ( I don't know if there are in England too ?). These were mills for fulling cloth by using water power to operate wooden hammers to pound the cloth to make it denser. The process was carried out manually by teams of women in the Western Isles who created a culture of rythmical waulking songs, which they sang in order to keep in unison and to relieve the tedium.
