Looking for Lindsay

Post by Castlehayes » Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:14 pm

Dear All

One of my given names is Lindsay, my three brothers likewise, I never did ask and now I'm wondering what its family significance is or was.

I can tell you that my grandmother was Elizabeth Lindsay Waddell b1867 in Carnwath. Her parents were Hugh Waddell b1825 Lesmahagow and Marion Dempster b 1823 Douglas. My father Walter Dempster Blackley was actually named after Marion's father but as yet I have found no Lindsay lurking amongst the Waddells or Prentices

I would appreciate any thoughts you have

With thanks

Hello Castlehayes,
What were the maiden surnames of Hugh and Marion's mothers? Any Lindsays there?

Regards,
Sarah
