HI Christine. I just found a website for wishaw, and they had a website to ask queries, so I asked them where Livingstones Land was. HE>HE. see what comes up as they will email a reply. All good fun.. They moved to Hamilton later and I know most of the towns around there, but Wishaw is new to me.

Hi Mary, I found a Stevenson marriage in 40 Berryhill Rows in a town called Wishaw in the Parish of Lanark so I'm sure you are reading the Berryhill Rows correctly don't know about the Livingstone Lands bit though. Christine

HI Christine. Its not the name I am after its the names of the places. I have my grandfathers marriage cert, but the writing is so bad I cant make out where they lived. I am only guessing. I thought someone living in Wishaw may be able to tell me if what I have put is correct or not. Have never heard of the places. Do you know the Wishaw area, and have I guessed right. Mary

Hi Mary, I searched Berryhill Rows, Wishaw, Scotland and it came up with the Parish of Lanarch so if you say what surname you are looking for someone might be able to help you. Christine
