Poured over maps,asked around but nobody had ever heard of Kindylands(?)We were not even sure of the spelling.

Hi Joette,

Any chance it could be Windylaws?

All the best,

Is it anywhere near to Eddlestone?John Scott was a ploughman on the farm & Helen working there too??They marry just before the 1841 Census & by the time the Census comes around they are living in Glencorse with Helen's Father John Veitch-he born Crawfordjohn& son of John Veitch/Betsy Tait they married Greyfriars & she daughter of Peter Tait of
Peebles.John Scott was born in Lilliesleaf.
When they have their sixth child in 1855 he (John Scott) gives their marriage place as Penicuik!
I often wonder as to the connection to Eddlestone.Fact that Helen was born there to John Veitch & Ann Craik in 1818.By 1827 he is marrying Janet Liddle in Temple & she is with both John's(husband & step-son-inlaw)on the 1841 Census.Also there is Helen & John's niece Elsiabeth McFarlane.
They named their only surviving daughter& eldest child Janet Liddle Scott so I am assuming that Janet brought Helen up rather than Ann Craik.
Why they were both working in or near to Eddlestone is a mystery.Maybe if we can pinpoint the farm & then find who was there in 1841 it may provide some clues.

Hi Joette,
