Dear Leslie, > There's another Elisabeth Balmer who married George Gibson in Duns, > BEW, in 1864. She was apparently born about 1835 in Greenlaw, BEW. No > idea who her parents were. I have a feeling that she may turn out to be from one of the Border families, possibly in service in Duns. Regards, Jim Balmer
