I'm looking at a 1789 marriage in Ettrick Parish. It says the bride, Margaret Scott, was of Damside Parish of Wilton. I can't find such a place. Can anyone tell me where it is please? John

Wilton parish is part of Hawick. http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/sct/ROX/Wilton/index.html "Damside was the area alongside Wilton Dam, with the main street renamed Victoria Road in 1864, Also called 'Upper Damside', it bordered the Upper Haugh and lay along the top stretch of the mill lade. The lade crossed Victoria Road near the end, before what became the supermarket (some called just 'Damside' it is marked on Stobies 1770 map of Roxburghshire." From Douglas Scott's "A Hawick Word Book" (which looks like it isn't published yet but can be found at http://www.astro.ubc.ca/people/scott/book.pdf Robin -----Original Message----- From: border-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:border-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of j burns Sent: April 14, 2007 12:43 PM To: BORDER-L@ rootsweb.com Subject: [BORDER] Damside, Wilton Parish I'm looking at a 1789 marriage in Ettrick Parish.
