    Hello Rosemary,

    Thank you for the offer. I have managed to find a marriage record for 1841 in Glasgow and I am working from there. Hennry Urquhart was a cooper and married Jane Watt.

    That's all I have conformed so far

    Home Castle? I think this is known as Hume castle I wonder if that is the one you went to?

    Or was it Douglas Castle, on the Douglas-Home Castlemains estate in Lanarkshire, which is in the news right now?

    If there is a Home or Hume group on this website, I have been unable to find it, and it might be good to start one. The earl of Home is also Baron Douglas, hence my interest!

    Well some instances it's called Home but pronounce it Hume whilst other times they use "Hume". (I'll have to look at my photos to see what the sign at the castle called it!) It was definitely the one in the Borders not Lanarkshire.

    You're right William. The sign says "Hume". But Hume/Home is one clan or family.

    Hi Rosemary, I saw your posts about Home family, although I'm not related I have done quite a lot of research on several branches. I live in Berwickshire so if I can help in some way ask. The Hume came about with David Hume of Ninewells , Chirnside who was the philosopher. The Home's of Home castle and then the Hirsel, Coldstream used Home pronounced hume.

    Thank you Betty. I may take you up on the offer sometime! My main interest is in the Lawries of Chirnside. I had a wonderful time wandering through old cemeteries in the vicinity last year but, even with the help of Scotlandspeople, have had trouble going any further back than my GGGG Grandfather, James Lawrie who was born about 1750. He married in Chirnside and his 6 children were all born there so I assume he probably was also.
