Hi Jim, Re your offer, I have recently started my family tracing, but unfortunately have hit many brick walls. Will you be able to assist me with any info. re my paternal g'mother as per the enclosed; name; Catherine Melrose HOME (my paternal g'mother) born: 1885(7)-Jan-4, Sunderland, co. Durham or Melrose, Scotland, (which Melrose I am not sure, since there are 2, I am assuming it is the one near the Scotland/England border and which is in Roxburghshire), died; 1952-Jun-8 Sunderland. married; 1911-Feb-11 (to James Campbell, master house painter) they had 2 sons (Alfred & Alexander Home (my father)) she had 5 sisters ( Alice, Ethel, Liz, Maggie and Mary) I think she lived most of her live in Sunderland, Co.Durham. Because one of her names is Melrose, she may have come from Melrose or maybe that is a family name (which I believe there is). I have also heard Berwick mentioned, maybe that's because it also is on the border. Also, that she was related to Sir Alexander HOME (the ex PM) maybe that's because it's the same name. That's the trouble with just starting, there are so many blanks. Any assistance you or anyone else can provide would be greatly appreciated, but I'm afraid I didn't give you much to go on, I don't even know the Parish. Thank you.

Dear Malcolm, During my SCOTT research I have come across a Margaret MELROSE married to James SCOTT children Margaret Whitelock SCOTT b. 10 Dec 1869 Yetholm, Roxburgh and Richard Melrose SCOTT b. 25Dec 1871, Yetholm. Maybe this is a clue for you. Good luck Helen in Sussex Researching; WATSON + GORE + RICHARDSON + ROUGHT = Norfolk and Suffolk borders MORLEY + POTTS + SCOTT + GLASS + CARDY = Scottish Borders and Northern England NUNN + L'ESTRANGE + HOLTON + SYKES + CLAYTON = India and UK. -----Original Message----- From: Malcolm Campbell [mailto:malcolmc@execulink.com] Sent: 24 October 2000 15:04 To: BORDER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: '91 Census Rox; Certain Parishes, HOME Hi Jim, Re your offer, I have recently started my family tracing, but unfortunately have hit many brick walls.
