On the cover of the postcard book Old Jedburgh compiled by Judy Olsen there is a photo identified as being taken in 1910 in Jedburgh on Market Place. One of the shops, the fifth from the right, says I. S. Hollands. I believe that would be Isabella Stevenson (Stoddart) Hollands who was married to George Hollands. According to the 1901 census Isabella and George were listed at 5 Market Place. George died in 1902. Does anyone have any additional information? What type of shop was it? How long was it there? etc? Gail Hollands

Hi Gail I have the notes somewhere. From memory these was the Misses HOLLAND who are probably the same as the ones who previously had the shop on the other side of the Market Place at the top of the Canongate. But the I S HOLLAND obviously matches up with the forenames of your relative. I think the shop/s dealt in fancy goods and haberdashery, that kind of thing. I traced quite a lot of the local businesses using advertisements and retiral notices from the local paper. I will see what I can dig out. There was an exhibition on local shops at the Jedburgh Castle Jail not so long ago, but I don't know how detailed it was. By the way, was it you who asked if there was a connection with the ROBERTSONS? I am pretty sure there was a HOLLAND-ROBERTSON marriage, again I would have to have a dig in the files.

Hi Judy! Thank you so much for your response to my question. Yes, it was me asking about the Hollands - Robertson connection and it was a result of your reply to my question about Christina Hollands and William Beaufort Robertson that led me to your really neat book. I was just sitting looking at the cover after I had gone through the whole thing that I noticed the Hollands name on the cover. If it is not too much trouble I would love to be able to get my hands on whatever information is available. Even if you would be able to advise me how to track it down myself. Thank you again.
