I too originate in Tarbolton from my grandfather William who farmed there. He and his wife are buried in the cemetery there. I have done a lot of research on the Candlish family and can go back to the 1600 in Dalrymple, Ayshire. I can also connect to Robert Burns with a friendship between our GGGGuncle James McCandlish who was Burns friend. Marlyn
