    3. Hello all you happy researchers on the Borders list. Or could I say Listners. Yes, this is a pun! For several years I have been trying to find some more information about my maternal gggrandmother Mary Hunter Robertson born Selkirk(1881 census data) 3rd Nov 1826 who, on 9th Dec 1851, at Innerleithen, married Robert Cleghorn. I have searched the IGI and the OPR, for additional information about Mary with no success. Her marriage records gives her parents as Geroge Robertson(deceased) and Isabella Beattie. The marriage record states her age as 22yrs. This is in conflict with census data for 1881/1891. These give 40/50yrs respectively. I can not find the written advice from which I have taken her date of birth given above. One of the marriage witnesses is George Robertson. Because the record states that George, Mary's father is deceased, the witness George could be her brother. What I hope to confirm or find are the dates and places for Mary's birth, the marriage of her parents, their birth records, if Mary has any siblings, and likewise the family of her parents. Is this too much to hope for? I hope not. My family tree includes all male and female lines. As I see it all of them are family. I have Cleghorn family records going back to 1737. Thank you for reading this, and be assured that any no matter how piece of help will be greatly appriciated. Regards to all Greg Blackburn.
