Good Morning Bonnie, I have been looking for anything I can find on a Janet Shortreed who married John Christopherson, Shepherd and Moleman on 27th November 1803 in Yarrow. I was in Ashkirk a couple of months ago it is very pretty and I will be taking my wife to see it in a couple of weeks. My wife is a Grieve. Hope we can make a connection.
