Does anyone know if there was a farm called Newbigging in East Lothian or Berwickshire around 1818. I received these and wondered why they were christened in Innerwick (that is the parish register these came from) if they lived in one of the Newbigging's in Angus, Aberdeen or West Lothian? Runciman In church 25th Oct 1818 John born 7inst - son to Thomas Runciman hind (sp) in Newbigging and Mary Ridpath his wife. Runciman At Thurstonmains codem die Jean and Mary born 22 April twin daughters to Thomas Runciman hind (sp) in Newbigging and Mary Redpath his wife - witnesses John Watt, William Turner and several others. Also I wondered how I might check who lived there (on the farm if there was one) as the census was not taken before 1831 or 1841? I wondered if SKS would be able to help me with this problem, please, please, please? And- I know I'm pushing my luck but perhaps look it up for me??? Thank you so much yet again. Best of luck everybody. Alethea

Hi Alethea, There were a Newbigging and Newbigging Walls, apparently farms at Lauder, Berwickshire in the 1881 census Best regards - Mike Simpson, Penrith, NSW, Australia Email: agene@bigfoot.com HomePage: http://www.bigfoot.com/~agene
