I have an MC that has a Residence that looks like "Guardown" or possibly "Guardrum". I've Goggled it and looked on the Old Maps but can't find anything close. Has anyone heard of this place in Polmont?

Anne,
Not sure about this one, the only two places I can think of off the top of my head that begin with G are Grahamston in Falkirk and Grangemouth.
I also looked up multimap and found a "Gilston Crescent" but nothing close to Guardown.
Sorry I can't be any more help. Hopefully someone else might know.
Believe it or not but I was just looking at this area this morning for my Robb's

Hi Anne and Andy,
Could it be GUARDROOM ?
It does look like it starts with "Guard" anyway.

Hi Jack,
Many thanks...Guardroom did enter my mind too...thought he might have lived in the guardroom at the coalmines
Hi Lesley,
Thanks for looking. I also Goggled Guardrum, but in Polmont and came up with pages of nothing that is of help...so far
Actually, he lived with his family in a place called the "Divities" in 1841 (from the census) and I found a description of that place on the Mining Site, soooooo, at present I'm looking through the mining site again just on the offchance I might find some mention of it also as some type of housing. I'm going cross-eyed
Many thanks to all for the replies.

Re: Parish of Polmont, Stirling
Hi Anne,
There is an area named GARDRUM Moss & a GARDRUM farm? SW of Polmont.
It's abt halfway between Polmont & Slamannan town.
But seems it may be just inside Slamannan Parish itself?
There are a few coal pits very nearby - just to the east of Guardrum Moss.

Edited to correct names from Guardrum to Gardrum.

Snap Jack - I just found a GURDRUM in Polmont.
You can view it here.
Zoom in and it is just a little SW of the P in Polmont.
On the site Roy suggested type 290052,675628 in the coordinate box and zoom in.
Kind regards,
Annette M
