Hello Gilbert, I am interested in the KING family from Gladsmuir, & Pencaitland. My line seems to go back to John King & Janet DUNCAN, marr Aug. 1766 Gladsmuir, & their son John KING . Does this family sound familiar to you I would be delighted if someone else is researching the family.

This excerpt is from "Scottish Snippets." Eileen >Freedom of Information Act Passed The Scottish Parliament this week finally passed the legislation which allows individuals freedom of access to information held by government, local councils, schools, police and health service. While campaigners say that it still does not go far enough, the Freedom of Information Act goes further than anything seen in the UK for over 100 years. The principle of the legislation is that anything should be publicly available - unless there is an overwhelming reason why it should be kept secret. There will be an independent "watch dog" appointed by Parliament who will be able to order public bodies to release documents on request. The Justice Minister, Jim Wallace, claimed that the legislation demonstrated how "devolution is delivering" and had been tailored to meet the needs of Scotland. Even the critics had to grudgingly admit that it was a better set of rules than the one being progressed by the Parliament in London which will apply to England and Wales.

Barbara and Carol, I saw Carol's request for MOFFATs and KEDZLIEs in E. Lothian. I have the following and wondered if a connection could be made: Johne MOFFAT, b 1609 in Tranent, m Janet DOWGALL Aug 16, 1626. Of numerous children, one is James MOFFAT, who m Janet KAIDGLEY (also seen as CAIDGLEY) on Sept 17, 1661, the daughter of James KAIDGLEY and Marion CAIRNE. I wondered if there are any connections, Carol, and whether any of these names appear in your resource, Barbara. Linda from NC

Hi Linda B.V.R.I is British Vital Records Index which the Church of Later Day Saints (Mormons) put out. Its instead of updating the I.G.I which they put out on fiche.

Thankyou Peter and Kay, I was very pleased with the MOFFAT find, and the BARRIE's are not really a surprise, as I had thought it quite likely that they may have left the area, they were siblings to one of my interests, so on a hunch thought I would see if they were still in the area. thanks for your time Carol ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter Milne <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 25, 2002 10:40 PM Subject: Re: [SCT-EAST-LOTHIAN] 1881 census lookup > Hi Carol, > > Had a look for your BARRIEs.
