I'm looking at a 1789 marriage in Ettrick Parish. It says the bride, Margaret Scott, was of Damside Parish of Wilton. I can't find such a place. Can anyone tell me where it is please? John

William GRIEVE born 1804 Teviothead Rox was the son of Christopher Grieve and Margaret m.s.Grieve according to his D/C. Christopher being an uncommon Borders name, I wonder if anyone has come across this couple. Margaret in Brisbane

Hello, I've just seen a query re using historic maps. The local authority where I live in West Yorkshire has a lot of historic maps on its website - www.calderdale.gov.uk and choose the Online Services tab - if anyone has ancestors from the Halifax/Brighouse/Todmoden/Hebden Bridge/Elland areas you might find interesting information there - can add different layers etc. I just mention this because it might be worth looking up local authority web-sites now for any area - local authorities are adding more and more information about their areas all the time. Good luck! Margaret

Yes Barbara Jane Trotter wife of William Stevenson died 27-3-1884 aged 64yrs. Jane Ann Trotter 1884--1973 Regards Carmel.

Thanks anyway Carmel, are there any Trotters at all?

Hi Barbara Sorry nothing in Yetholm M.Is. Regards Carmel

Hi, Wonder if anyone has the book of MI s for Yetholm and would be willing to look up my Sarah Scott nee Trotter who died between 1841 and 1851 and also her husband who died in 1862 Robert Scott. Hoping they have a gravestone. Thanks in advance. Barbara

Redfordgreen is between Tushielaw and Roberton on the Ettrick to Hawick road.

Thankyou very much Judy. I should have thought of a first name search. Now I think I have found them in the Ettrick MIs, William in 1870 and Janet in 1887 (perhaps it should be 1897). Now to tackle Scotlandspeople for a certificate!!

I'm trying to figure out how to make the best use of Ordnance maps. They are strange beasts. I'm thinking of the 1921-28 series for now. I finally found the index maps so I can figure out adjacent maps. I don't see any information on what the scale is. When you first open it I wonder what the scale is and then what is the scale on each magnification? Are Parish boundaries shown or do you have to go to a different series? John

Thanks. I was looking too far afield-it was right in front of my face.

I'm looking at an 1811 marriage in Yarrow Parish (in the index it is listed as both Yarrow and Ettrick parishes). The bride is from Redford Green in the parish of Yarrow. Does anyone know where Redford Green is? John

In the 1841 Census William GRIEVE, his wife Janet (DALGLEISH) and 4 children are at Dodhead, Yarrow. In 1851 they are recorded as GREIVE, with 8 children, at Todrig Sheil, Selkirk. I cannot find them anywhere in 1861, except son Robert at Drumelzier, Peebles He is at Summerhope in 1871. Widow Janet is still alive in 1891 aged 91. William born c.1804, no baptism found, hopefully died after 1855. Grateful for any ideas or information about this family. Margaret in Brisbane

The family seem to be at Glen Kerry in Ettrick in 1871, you will find them with the same search but this time it brings up William Jnr - correct spelling too. Janet is head of household so maybe William Snr is deceased.
