Have you tried looking up an entry for the family in the 1881 census, when Mary would have been 8 and presumably with her parents? I know this would not give her mother's maiden name, but would be a start. Also provided the events took place in Scotland, her birth, marriage and death certifcates would give the names of her parents. Accessing www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk should provide all this info. If you want "look ups" for the family in the census returns, contact the Scottish Borders Archive and Local History Centre at Selkirk - www.archives@scotborders.gov.uk/ They have indexes to 1841, 1851, 1861, 1881 and 1891 censuses for Hawick and can provide you with printouts of actual entries for L2.50 (min. cost for sending photocopies within Europe - L5.50 outtwith Europe) Hope this helps, Susan (of Hawick) -----Original Message----- From: border-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:border-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of stephen purdy Sent: 24 December 2006 10:50 To: BORDER@rootsweb.com Subject: [BORDER] HONER Hello i am hoping somebody may be able to help me i am looking for any information such as parents names of Mary Ann HORNER born about 1873 Hawick? she married George Elliot Born7 Feb 1873 at Cavers.
