Thankyou all who helped with my queries regarding Marriages at Cargill, and lookups at the cemetery. My Dingwall family's sons were christened there between 1801 and 1805. At the time they were living in a village called Strelitz, which I have been told may have been an army town. That the town was disbanded by 1810 and the family moved - some living in Fife and others in Lanark. The surnames connected to the Dingwall are Calder/Caldwell, Dinwoodie/Woodie, McKenzie, Gilchrist, Snedden, Brown Thanking your once again.

Well, Cargill was looking lovely this morning. It is a beautiful sheltered spot, down off the main Perth-Blairgowrie road in a quiet area beside the river Tay. The graveyard has a very small ruin of an old church while the newer church a little way up the hill has been converted to residential use. The graveyard itself is showing its age, with stones in the 1975 Mitchell books now hard to read, and bushes encroaching around the edge of the site. There is some site maintenance taking place, and the grass must be cut reasonably regularly. > > For those of you in the Tay Valley Family History Society and using the Tay-Valley-Bridges Yahoo group, I've placed 29 photos in a folder in the 'Photos' section. Anyone not able to see them (or who would like higher-resolution copies) is most welcome to email me. Some are of the site, and most are of stones with the names below. > > So, I was looking for Craik (sorry Carolyn, none found), Dingwall/well (again, none there Anne), Thomson (goodness, what a lot of them!) and Gentle (three of them Rhonda, including the David you asked for). > > The following list includes the Gentles and the Thomsons still legible.
