Let me assure anyone on this list I have not sent anything to the list since 23rd approx of June. All my mail is checked with Norton before sending. I do not send attachments to any list. If you get any message saying it is from me with an attachment via the list delete it. I had a similar report from Norfolk list - from someone who was not even on the Norfolk list!

Linda and all I have checked and no attachments are coming through the Border List. These attachments are therefore mimicing Border as part of the generator. I will check further into this. Penny Border List Administrator

Hi, Judy - I was wondering if you had any more information on James Elliot (I assume he's in there because you have some interest in him). My GGG Grandfather was a James Elliot about whom I have little information. He married Janet Murdy or Murdie in Jedburgh on 14 Aug 1842 and they produced a son called Thomas in 1847 and that's all I have. I was wondering oif maybe they were the same person.

Noticed the Oliver name. I have a copy of "The Oliver Surname on the Scottish Borders" which contains various pedigrees. The writer is there amongst them, I'm sure.

Sorry its a bit late folks. Have just been into my local library and cannot believe the good resources available. Lanarkshire census indexes, MI's abound and some resources for Renfrewshire, Caitness and Inverness. I know they are not Borders but we all move in and out of the Counties round here. Contact me off list if you need some lookups for these areas. You may live near resources that are not Borders but may help others. Feel free to share!! Penny Border List Admin

Hello listers, Im still on the trail of George Pringle and Margaret Brown C 1780s..... neither are buried in Greenlaw churchyard....maybe they are elsewhere. Maybe they didn't come from that part of the country...even tho their children are christened there. Any sign of George Pringle and his wife Margaret Brown....please email me!!

I am told from a family source that an Elspeth GIBSON of Eccles was a great aunt. I cannot find her on the 1881 census although there are Gibsons at Eccles then. Does anyone have access to earlier census for Eccles who could check this lady for me. I am hoping she could prove to be a missing piece of the family jigsaw that may link me back to the prior generation. Any help gratefully received, Mary N.

Hi Everybody, If you have an interest in the County of Roxburgh - take a look at this site - it contains a wealth of local names together with occupations 1797- 1802. As always it depends on where your ancestors were as to wether you wil find it helpful I certainly found it interesting. http://www.scan.org.uk/researchrtools/lieutenancy.htm Regards AuydreyM
