    1. [BORDER] Bankend, Jedburgh
    2. J A Olsen
    3. 1851 census shows the following: Jedbank - Mr CRAIGIE, advocate and Sheriff Substitute -a very big cheese) Bankhead - Mr STEDMAN, JP, slightly smaller cheese but still plump and tasty Bankend Mary (?) THOMAS head, unmarried 50 years old, a gardener and small farmer, born Lilliesleaf Robina, sister, unmarried, 45 years old, same occupation. Birthplace looks like Bowden, Rox Jessy, niece aged 8 'at school' bn Galashiels Then the enumerator moved on to Old Bridge End ie back into town. One look at the census isnt really enough to be absolutely sure but I think if there had been other bits of Bankend in with the Bongate books I would have noticed. It does seem like it was just the one dwelling (in 1851). What it does seem to show is that you could get from Bankhead to Bankend. I was wondering if the postcard shows any red sandstone cliffs in the background. Judy
