Hi Judy, Balsarroch will have been a farm. There's only one in Wigtownshire by that spelling that I can see on the current OS Landranger map. It is in the parish of Kirkcolm, about 4km or 2.5 miles west of Kirkcolm village. Balsarroch Wood is marked close by on Google Maps. If your BELLs were not from Kirkcolm, there are other similar named farms in the parishes of Penninghame, Mochrum, and Stoneykirk. Perhaps there may have been one in Wigtown also. Spelling was rather arbitrary prior to the 19th century, and the farther back in time, the more variations one will find, so those other farms could easily have been recorded at some time as Balsarroch. What parish were your BELLs in, and over what time span? Regards, Bruce
