Ian,
Thank you for the information. The information I received was sent to me
awhile back, but I misplaced the message. I think it came from LDS records.
This may not be accurate though. I did receive my great grandmother Kate's
obit, and it says that she was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, so the West
Calder must not be correct.
