Hi! Please has anyone got access to the 1861 or 1871 census and would be willing to look for Robert SCOTT b.c. 1852 in either Yetholm or Jedburgh. I am pretty certain Robert was born in Jedburgh and he was in Yetholm at the time of his marriage to Annie GLASS in 1875. I would be very grateful and will of course help if anyone needs a look up in Sussex. T.I.A.

Hello Listers, Query: What was the first name of Widow WALDIE who died in 1833? Her son George was born in 1785 and married Agnes MUIR in Cranston, M.Lothian. Thank you to all who contacted me. I'll check your information for connections.I have a good long list from Mike in Australia to keep me going for a while. Sheila Kinnear Curran.

Is anyone researching Boyds in the Roxburghshire area of Scotland, Associated names, Clark and Knox. 1820 to 1850/ Joe Boyd Williams Katy, Texas

Hi My GGrandfather, John Hall JOHNSTONE, travelled to New Zealand in the mid-1860's. Does anyone know of a Scottish site with passenger lists sailing from Scotland around that time, please? According to family hearsay, he may have travelled with a brother who 'got off' in Australia while John travelled on. He was born in Dumfries around 1843/44, father William, mother Mary (nee HALL) JOHNSTONE. Any help at all on this family would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Carlma New Zealand

Dear Carlma, Shipping lists are available from Australia to NZ, if that's any use to you. I've found that lots of Scots surprisingly travelled to Liverpool to embark, as that's where the cheap fares were, so be careful. Also lots travelled via USA, but that may not apply as you have the story of the brother who disembarked in Oz.

Hi everyone, This directory (originally published in 1866 and covering Roxburghshire, Berwickshire and Selkirkshire) was discussed a few days ago on this list. While working through the LDS catalogue to see what is available to rent in LDS family history centres around the world (items listed in the catalogue in microfiche or microfilm form should be rentable in centres, worldwide) I've spotted that a microfilm version of this directory is in the LDS catalogue: ========================================================================== Title Rutherfurd's The southern counties' register & directory Notes Reprint.

Hello Lesley, My Grieves seem to be well and trully glued to the Hawick, Selkirk area.

I am new to this list and hope I am posting on the correct list. I am looking for a 'lost' ancestor whom I suspect could have moved from the border area to Crichton in Midlothian. There are Waldies listed in the border area and I hope to make a connection there. She was buried as 'Widow Waldie' in 1833 in Crichton. She had a son George WALDIE born in 1875/6 who married Agnes MUIR. George had the following children: Archibald, the first born, could have been named after Widow Waldie's husband according to the Scottish naming pattern. George's other children were Elizabeth, James, Elspeth, Adam, and Agnes. Do these names run in your family? Are there any WALDIE researchers out there? I hope to hear from you. Sheila Kinnear Curran fmc@kinnear50.freeserve.co.uk

Could you please tell me if Longtown and Gretna Green are considered part of this list ? Wondering, Anne, Melbourne, AUS.

I have been researching a Brydon family for someone else. Robert Brydon and Elisabeth Anderson seem to be familiar to me although I can't spot them just now in my notes. Certainly, the name Robert Brydon from Yarrow is a family name.

Hi Peter, I have the 1851 census 2% extract for Jedburgh on my home page at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~agene/census/jedburgh.htm This consists of one enummerators book for Jedburgh, so is not complete, but you might find something of interest, lots of Olivers there. Allow a while for the page to load, it is pretty big. Best regards - Mike Simpson, Penrith, NSW, Australia Email: agene@tpg.com.au HomePage: http://www.bigfoot.com/~agene

I have been told that my ancestors the Grahams came from the border area and the oldest info I have received to date states that they are descended from Lang Will They were said to be sent to Fermanagh in Ireland in 1609. If anyone in the area has data on these families would appreciate hearing it. Marlene Jackson Ontario, Canada

If someone has access to the above census, I would be very interested also. We also have very many Adam's in our family. The name carried on for generations. Shirley Dumma Madeira Park, B.C. Canada sdumma@dccnet.com

Hi everyone An extract from the OPR of Merton, Berwick in 1840, shows my GG Grandfather as a farmer at Clinthill. The only details I have been able to find on the net so far are those of a Clint Lodge at Clinthill, St. Boswells. Can anyone tell me any more about the area and its history. Even better, can anyone shed any light on the Hunter family.

Hello Meg, At that time, the common practice of the rites of the Church of Scotland was to register the date of Proclamation of Banns, or the date that the marriage was contracted. This is not the same as the actual date of marriage. It was further customary to proclaim the banns in both the parish of the bride and of the groom when they came from different parishes. It is likely that your research has discovered this same situation. Check to see if in fact the families do come from these respective parishes.
