    3. I am seeking information on my GG Grandparents. Isabella ARMSTRONG, baptized at Morpeth in 1773. Her father was John ARMSTRONG and mother listed as Ann FC. (Someone suggested the FC might mean Female, Christened) This is all the information I have on her ancestors. She married Thomas SHORTREEED in 1807 in Scotland, where Thomas supposedly worked at Borthwickbrae, Burnfoot 2 Farm, approximately 6 miles WSW of Hawick. Supposedly he was a tailor. How can I find out for sure that he worked there and what kind of work he may have done? They had 6 sons and 1 daughter, who died in infancy. James b. Feb.1808 John b.Feb 1810 Robert b.Feb 1812 William b.Sept 1814 Daughter b. ca 1817 Thomas b. June 1819 George b. Aug.1827 In 1831 Isabella, Thomas and their 6 sons emigrated from Hawick, Scotland to Guelph, Ontario Canada where they settled. Thomas died in 1841 in Canada and Isabella died before Feb. 20, 1870 in Guelph. I have Thomas's ancestry back to George SHORTREED b. ca 1686 and married to Helen (Ann) MOLL b. ca 1888. She resided in Eckford. They were married March 20, 1705 at the Parish of Southdean, near the village of Chesters, approximately 10 miles SE of Hawick and approximately 10 miles SSW of Jedburgh. I also need Helen (Ann) MOLL's ancestry. Is there anyone out there who can help me? I would appreciate any information which you would care to share. Good Luck on all your searching!! Sincerely, Bonnadean (SHORTREED) NELSON
