Thanks to those that replied to my query. To Kay Liney yes that is my family in the 1881 census, that was where I got the approx. ages for the children. It says that Galashiels is in Roxburgh, is that right or is it Selkirkshire. To Dominique Young I don't think its the same family. I've got George Young's parents as William and Martha Young nee Baxter married 1849 at Prestonpans. William being born in Haddington E. Lothin 1826 to Alexander and Marion Young nee Paterson married 1820 Saltoun E. Lothian. To Terra, thanks your Youngs don't seem to be the right ones either. I'm sure that I've looked in the IGI in the FHC site without any luck, thanks anyway. Regards Linda

Hi Linda: Re: Where is Gala - Rox. or Selkirk... I refer you to Viv Dunstan's GENUKI page at: http://www.vivdunstan.clara.net/clara.net/v/i/v/vivdunstan/webspace/genuki/R OX/Melrose/ladhope.html in which it is recorded that: "LADHOPE, a quod sacra parish on the north-west border of Roxburghshire. It was constituted by the Court of Teinds in 1855. It comprises part of the post-town of Galashiels, and the north-western part of the quod civilia parish of Melrose." from the Imperial Gazetteer of Scotland, edited by John Marius Wilson, 1868. Note: Ladhope was transferred to Selkirkshire between 1871 and 1881. " Hope this helps as I wondered the same thing with my searching.
