Hello Everyone, I have a copy of an article that has in the margin a notation, which reads "from a newspaper in Scotland 1911. The only visible words that might offer a clue as to which paper this might have appeared in are Eccles, Swinton (?) and another word which could be seven letters in length but, at best, I'm giving that a good guess. I 'Googled' Eccles and then Swinton and they both appear to be parishes in Berwickshire. I couldn't get beyond this. Can anyone suggest which paper might have published this article? SCOTT and HOGG - YET ANOTHER LINK. A correspondent writes - In your reports of the deaths of the late Mrs Ingles, and another old Selkirk residenter it is indicated that by the death of these two the last link in my native district has been broken with Sir Walter Scott and Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd. There are many of course still living who remember the latter. I have just received today a card announcing the death of an old gentleman, Mr. Walter Anderson, who died at Ayr, Ontario, Canada, on April 14th, in his 93rd year, after 65 years of married life, and leaving a widow. Mr Anderson was born in a cottage, since pulled down, between Tushielaw Inn and Ettrick Kirk. When a boy Sir Walter Scott was in the habit of frequenting his mother's house and jotting down many of the interesting facts which she possessed regarding the district. He had many opportunities of meeting not only with Sir Walter Scott as a boy, but with Hogg, whom he also knew, so that another link is broken. I have never seen this gentleman, as he emigrated in the year 1844* and has never returned to the old country, but his children and grandchildren have gone over the ground repeatedly, and taken home to Canada photographs of the district, which interested him very much, as well as his wife, who was born near Mosspaul, and whose acquaintance he made in the Dominion. The following may interest many of your readers, as showing the strides that emigration has made since 1844, when he and a number of others decided to emigrate to Canada. They sailed from Annan, an unlikely place, and the friends and neighbours in the district for six weeks previous lent all the necessary help in baking oatmeal cakes. The cart, which conveyed them and their belongings to Annan, also transported no less than six barrels of oatcakes, which was to keep them hale and healthy for the 50 days which the passage at that time took from port to port. *Please note, the Andersons left Ettrick in 1838 and according to a note that Walter, the subject of the above article, wrote to his grandchildren, they 'left Scotland 27th May 1838. Sailed from Liverpool to New York on the 7th June. Arrived in New York about 6 weeks after. Came into Canada about the end of July. Came to the farm in Blenheim 9th October. Thanks for any suggestions. Regards, Joan, ON, Canada

Hi All, I would suggest that earlier spellings would render this name as Scaurnook; from 'scaur' a rock or steep cliff, and 'nook', an 'out of the way place'. Looking at the the place the topographical features would support this. There are steep cliffs because it's on the outside of a tight river bend and it is certainly out of the way.

I'm looking at a marriage at Roberton, Roxburghshire in 1836. George Helm was from Hoscoteshiel and Helen Linton was from Shiringscleuch. These two places are about 12 kilometres west of Hawick. Does anyone know how many, or what type buildings would have been there in 1836 and what is there now? John

These extremely interesting books were published annually listing ownera and occupiers property (in the early days just the more valuable stuff, in later days all of it). Thye're not easy to find, but Borders Archives were happy to supply me with photocopies of selected years for Whitsome (I picked the census years to try and match the two up) for just the cost of copying and postage so it would be worth asking them.

Well I think this one is a little unusual. It is 'important' enough as a house or place to be mentioned in a will and named in successive censuses. I can work out roughly where it must have been by looking at the places on the same page on the Ancestry census index. The spelling variations are not all that bothersome - the 1871 version does sound like a Geordie was living there! - because some of them may be down to mistranscription. The odd thing though is that I can find no indication of this house on any of the maps I have looked at. I think this may be because unlike many of the other names, this is just a single house but on the other hand its not a high status building. It may have been a local name or landmark - Elliot was a carrier so his house would be well known and you would expect outbuildings etc. But the house was not the home of a notable family so doesnt make it on to the map in its own right. Anyone know if its still there? Judy On 16 Mar 2007, at 05:33, Donal O'Kelly wrote: > Changes in names of places make us more than a little crazy.

I wonder if Roy or anyone else remembers the debate more than six years ago about Mr and Mrs. Elliott is left and is >gone to the skarnook. It appeared in a letter I think. Well guess what, I reckon Roy was exactly right, it was or is a place in Roberton - Scotlandspeople has a will listed for Elliot John 26/09/1888 Scarnook, Parish of Roberton, d. 25/08/1888 at Scarnook, testate Selkirk Sheriff Court SC63/34/20 From what I remember the letter was dated in the 1840s so Next stop the 1851 census on Ancestry, where there is an Elliot family at "Scaurnook". In 1871 it is Scarenerk. Judy

Changes in names of places make us more than a little crazy. Looks like public ennumerators living there would know how the place was spelled. Perhaps not.

Hello lister I am back on the list after a long break away. My name is Joan Armstrong and I live on the Central Coast of N.S.W. Australia For years i have been searching for the birth of my great Grandfather Alexander LANDLES he stated on the 1881 census he was born in Scotland I at last have found him living in Berwick up on Tweed and he was born in 1n Alnwick in 1854 I now have his brothers and sisters all from census 1851 until 1901. Alexanders father was James LANDLES / LANDELS (a COOPER ) who was married to a Sarah Whitehead I know this by the children' birth certificates, I have checked all B D M both in Scotland and England but cannot find the marriage of James & Sarah whitehead , James was born in Dunse 1827 his mother was Helen according to the 1841 & 1851 Census she was born in Scotland. If anyone has this family I am trying to find Helen's husbands name. On the 1841 Census I found Helen mother aged 40 Jas son 15 cooper and daughter Wilhelmina aged 8 yrs born Foreign place no sign of Wilhelmina after that it. appears this family went back & forth over the Border. If anyone has Wilhelmina Or can give me information about the father of James I would be grateful. Joan

I would like to research the burial, death or MI records for Stobo. Peeblesshire. Can anyone tell me what may have been compiled? My particular interest is in a James SMEAL whose descendants surname has been changed to SMAIL and finally in England as SMILES as well as variations in spelling along the way. A James SMEAL is shown in IGI/OPR around the 1790s as a father in Stobo. Alan Middlemass Bearpark, Durham UK I have not created any attachments to this mail

hi folks, here are some more BMD notices. 2 things though, before you start scrolling down: 1] these journals i've had access to are usually 6 months bundles, say Jan > June. but often some of the notices clearly predate that so are obviously late ones referring to the previous year. where there is any doubt, i've entered the year inspite of the source journal being dated. where they all realte to the yaer of the journal, i haven't bothered. 2] again, because there is simply so much typing to do, i've abbreviated the counties names to 3-letter codes - the Chapman Codes. for those not familiar with them, you'll find them all listed on the genuki page here: http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/Regions/Codes.html Gentleman's Magazine 1823 deaths: > ELLIOT: on 8th Oct, at his seat, Pinnacle Hill, ROX, ROBERT ELLIOT, esq., formerly of Amsterdam. > FERGUSON: 1st Sep., at Kelso, ANDREW FERGUSON, weaver, in his 91st year, about 40yrs since, he undertook to walk,as postman from Kelso to Mellerstain, which employment he gave up for a number of years, and again resumed it about 12yrs ago. The distance he travelled may be compared at 16mls per day; and this he performed 6 days a week regularly, and frequently every day of the week.
