Hello, I am new to the list and thought I should post my interests. I am looking for the Mossman's from Newland, Peebles. I have traced back to David Mossman who married Ann Donaldson 31 Aug 1832 in Eddlestone, Peebles. Does anyone recognise these people? Shellie Cold Lake, AB, Canada
Hi, I've been trying to track Thomas FORSTER. b abt 1853 Scotland. Found him on the 1881 census in Tynemouth. Then looked for and found his brother, William John FORSTER. with parents Francis FORSTER and Jane. b Scotland. Looked on IGI found William John born 2 jan 1855 Langholm, Dumfries to Francis FOSTER and Jane BYERS. But can find no trace of Thomas's birth (or another brother Robert ). If anyone has any info on any of the above named people I would love to hear from you. Or suggestions on where to look next ? Thank you. Debora in Texas.
Hi Listers, does anyone have the Graham family of Netherby, Cumberland, England? I am looking for charts or a Gedcom file of this family if anyone can assist me. Best regards, Bruce Glass, New Zealand.

I have a new update from my letter of earlier today. I have found some information at the LDS familysearch website today but it poses more of a dilemma. My John Mather married to Martha Ricaby(Rickarby,Ricoby,etc.) might have been an Andrew Mather married to Martha Rickarby 5-21-1809 Norham, Northumberland(Per some LDS familysearch info.). All the children I could find say the father is Andrew Mather but list the mother as Margaret Ricoby. These are the children listed: Robert Mather b.1812 Berwick on Tweed, John Mather b.1814-15 Berwick on Tweed, Elizabeth Mather b.1816 Berwick on Tweed,George Mather b.1822 Aberdeen, Isabella Mather b.1824 Aberdeen and Mary Mather b.1825 Newcastle, Northumberland. If anyone has any information about the above names please contact me. Thanks for your help, Margaret --part1_28.4b4e2a1.26364786_boundary--
I am looking for John Stewart who would have been 17 in 1871. I found him in Carlise in 1881 and I know he was born in Carlisle 1854. I must trace him with his parents because I can't find his birth.. If anyone has info. from the 1871, 1861, or 1851 census for Carlisle and has come across him please let me know.. Any info. welcome. Thanks Evelyn Boland
I'm looking for info on the above. Supposedley Headmaster of Widdrington School, Northumberland. Probably in the 1890's. If anyone has any info or suggestions, all gratefully received. Family lore says that he never married. Thank you. Debora. in Texas.
Dear Jeanette, Alsace-Lorraine: a region of NE France, bounded by Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany (N and E). Alsace lies to the east of Lorraine. STRASBOURG is Alsace's leading industrial center. Most of the population speaks French, but German is also spoken, especially around Metz. Both Alsace and Lorraine were included in the HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE. Lorraine emerged as a duchy, and Alsace was divided into many fiefs and free cities by the 13th cent. France gradually acquired both regions in the 17th and 18th cent. As a result of the FRANCO-PRUSSIAN WAR (1870-71) much of the area was annexed to Germany and formed the imperial land of Alsace-Lorraine. After WORLD WAR I Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France, but it was again annexed (1940-45) to Germany during WORLD WAR II.
Dear List: Could anyone out there tell me where in the world "Alsace-Lorraine, Scotland is? I cannot find it on any of my maps. Thanks Jeanette
Hi. I am looking for ancestors, siblings and information on John Mather b.1815 Berwick on Tweed, Northumberland. His parents were John Mather and Martha Rickaby(Ricaby, Ricoby?). He may have had a brother named Robert who was also born in Berwick in 1812. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have information on the descendants of the John born in 1815. He emigrated to America ca.1854. Thanks, Margaret
I have this piece for CHISHOLM as an associate line. JAMES CHISHOLME, b. Scotland, m. MARY TURNBULL, b. Scotland. i. WALTER CHISHOLM, b. 3 Nov 1860, Weensland, Hawick, Scotland, m. 14 Dec 1887 Hyde Park MA HELLEN BAIN, b. 6 Nov 1859, Blackchester, Berwickshire, Scotland; d. Bef. 1920, Eustis FL, dau of Aleaxander and Isabella (Baptie) Bain
Hi again Doug, My 3xgt-grandfather was Benjamin CHISHOLM who married Isabella GRAY in Gordon, BEW in 1811. (Isabella b. c1790, dau. of William GRAY, joiner, and Margaret ?). I believe Benjamin was the son of Thomas Chisholm, ag. lab, and was probably the same Benjamin Chisholm who appears in the BEW OPRs as being christened at Legerwood 16 Dec 1785. On the marriage entry in the Gordon Parish Register, Benjamin was "in the Parish" and Isabel(la) was "in the Parish of Earlston". Benjamin and Isabella had six children that I know of (all born at Georgefield, parish of Earlston, where Benjamin was a hind) : John 1822, Margaret 1824, Andrew 1827, James 1829 (my 2x gt-grandfather who married Janet BRODIE at Blainslie in 1855), Robert 1831 and William 1833. As you will see there is a large gap between their marriage in 1811 and the birth of the first known child in 1822. I have to assume there were children born in those eleven years, including probably a Benjamin and a Thomas. There is a Thomas born to Benjamin Chisholm, no mothers name given, christened 31 May 1812 at Gordon, so he may be from my family; also a George, son of Benjamin, c 14 Aug 1814 Gordon. If I had all the births it would help in providing clues to the names of Benjamin's and Isabella's parents. In the 1851 census Benjamin was a farm labourer at Birkenside, par. of Legerwood, where he was present with wife Isabella and children Margaret, Andrew, James & Robert who were all unmarried and working as farm labourers. I believe that two families found in the 1851 Census are probably sons of Benjamin's from the missing years: Thomas Chisholm b. c1812 Gordon m. Helen BUTTLER working as a farm labourer at Birkenside with children Benjamin, Agnes, Isabella & Robert; and George Chisholm b. c1814 Earlston m. Janet WEDDEL working as a farm labourer at East Moriston with children Catherine, Benjamin, George, John & Isabel. There is an MI for George Chisholm and Janet Weddel/Waddle in Makerstoun churchyard. 1861 Census Earlston dist 2, pg 15 - Millerstain Row of Cottages Benjamin CHISHOLM head mar 73 no occupation b BEW Ledgerwood Isabella CHISHOLM wife mar 69 b BEW Earlston Andrew CHISHOLM son unm 35 ag lab b BEW Earlston Margaret CHISHOLM dau unm 38 ag servt b BEW Earlston Isabella died at Birkenside in 1867 and Benjamin died there in 1870. In both cases their son Andrew was the informant. At the 1871 census for Birkenside, Andrews occupation was given as in charge of house. He was unmarried and living with his spinster sister Margaret, who was a housekeeper. Some other cenus entries which I believe relate to "my" Chisholms are : 1861 Census Earlston dist 3, pg 11 - Park Thomas CHISHOLM head mar 47 farm servt b BEW Gordon Helen CHISHOLM wife mar 41 b BEW Lauder (nee BUTLER?) Benjamin CHISHOLM son unm 19 ploughman b BEW Ledgerwood Agnes CHISHOLM dau 17 ag servt b BEW Gordon Isabel CHISHOLM dau unm 14 gen servt b BEW Gordon Robert CHISHOLM son 11 scholar b BEW Gordon Margaret CHISHOLM dau 9 scholar b BEW Ledgerwood Elizabeth CHISHOLM dau 6 scholar b BEW Earlston 1871 Parish of Earlston Dist 3, pg 16, schedule 62 - Park Hind's Cottage Thomas CHISHOLM Head mar 57 Land Steward b BEW Gordon Helen CHISHOLM wife mar 51 b BEW Lauder Benjamin CHISHOLM son unm 29 Groom b BEW Ledgerwood Robert CHISHOLM son unm 21 Railway Porter b BEW Gordon Margaret CHISHOLM dau unm 18 Ag Lab b BEW Ledgerwood I would love to make contact with any other descendants, or to find out any further information on my ancestors. I have quite a lot of unconfirmed information on descendants of my 2xgt-grandfather, James CHISHOLM and his wife Janet BRODIE.
