hi folks, i'm just writing to say that at long last i've been able to prove that the Dr Thomas DAVIDSON i;ve been hunting so long is indeed the Thomas i believed he was, that was born 16 Dec 1816 at Lempitlaw, Sprouston ROX :-) that makes him the s. of James DAVIDSON, farmer, and Janet LECH/LECK/LOCH! with lots of siblings :-) with a little educated guesswork, i suspect that the above James is the s. of Henry DAVIDSON & Isabel HALLIWALL mum, Janet, may be the dau of Thomas LECH/LECK & Mgt MIDDLEMAS if anyone has any further knowledge about thse couples and their kids and can either verify the possiblilty or equally useful, disqualify them, i'd be very grateful. thanks for your time and trouble and a special thanks to to those of you who filled me in on Thomas's siblings and parish register entries. they're now - in the tree :-) i hope everyone's research is going well le durachd :-) fionnghal ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

I am having a lot of difficulty trying to find a marriage of James LANDLES to Sarah WHITEHEAD their first child ( James ) was born in Berwick upon Tweed in 1850. I have looked at the Civil registrations for many years before that date also after in case they got married after the children were born. I have even looked in Scotland for their marriage with no results. Is there a list of Marriages performed by other than Church Officials ?I thought I read somewhere there were some irregular marriages. Any help on this problem I would appreciate. I also understand they may have not got married as I think at that time they called it Common Law wife. But as they had the children Baptised it makes sense they did marry.

** Other people can respond about what actually exists, but I should like to point out an oft-forgotten fact: Most people have NO gravestone to mark their burial place. This is often the reason you cannot find one. Other reasons for non-findable inscriptions are : 1. The stone is beneath the turf and so not visible 2. the stone got damaged or broken and has been disposed of 3. The original marker was non-substantial (flaky sandstone, or tin-plate or wood, and the inscription if not the whole marker has been lost. 5. The stone is surrounded by an overgrown bush or yew tree, and so hidden from view. 6. The stone got missed during the MI recording process. 7. The transcription got mislaid between copying and the final printing. For all these reasons, inscriptions may not be available.

I have Jane Baptie b 1791 in Selkirkshire d aft 1841 near Morebattle who was married to Thomas Oliver, a shepherd, b 1765 Morebattle d 1838 Morebattle. They had children George, William, Jessie, Thomas, Andrew, James, John, Alexander, Isabel, Robert. I have seen her on a census listed as "Jean" I believe her to be the daughter of William Baptie and Janet Stoddart. The Stoddart's other children were Barbara, Isobel, Elizabeth, Margaret, William. Alexander Oliver became a prominent leader in the Church of Scotland living in Glasgow. Is anyone connected to this line?

Hi, John - there were originally two parishes to what is now Hawick - Hawick Parish, south of the River Teviot and Wilton Parish, north of the river. Damside was in Wilton parish as was earlier explained. The area is now definitely part of the existing town of Hawick, close to the town centre. Victoria Road is still there and runs alongside the town's main car park at the Common Haugh. Hope this helps.
