After a brain addled day and seeing these responses this morning I realise I have this other George too, and if I'd been thinking more clearly would have sent this link along <http://roger.lisaandroger.com/headstones.php? country=Scotland&state=Berwickshire&county=Swinton&tree=> which shows the 3 stones (one of them is double sided leading to the 4 photos) of Moffats I have from the Swinton Churchyard. So it seems that George Moffat who died 1856 and was buried in Swinton Churchyard doesn't have a stone. > This book is Volume 1 of three for Border Parishes all for pre 1855 > but there are many, many later dates in them.

On this page here http://www.scotsgenealogy.com/acatalog/Berwickshire_MI.html it doesn't seem to show the Volume 1. Are the individual parishes listed there the contents of Volume 1? Or is it that Volume 1 is now out of print and so not listed for sale perhaps? I'm in Michigan, USA and not sure just which libraries in this region might have these books. Thanks Roger

However, I know that they had them in the summer (I saw them in their shop) so I suggest that you email them and ask. Vol 1 is sub-titled the Border Parishes and contains Coldstream, Eccle, Foulden, Hutton, Ladykirk, Mordington, Lamberton, Swinton, Whitsome. Eccles includes old ground at Birgham & earnslaw Farm. Hutton includes an old one at Fishwick. Modrington also has Mordington House, Swinton includes Simprim, and whitsome includes Hilton. Lesley Robertson
