To Gordon Johnson, Is it possible that you could look for my gggrandfather John Dickison in the Buccleuch papers? My information is that John Dickison was overseer of the Maudslie Farm in Temple, Midlothian and was selected by a Mr. Maitland and Colonel Grant to go to New Zealand and manage the Delvy Estate, a lease acquired by Lord Buccleuch in 1859. John Dickison was born in Bedrule in 1822. Interestingly, John's daughter, Eliza Dickison married John Edgar in New Zealand and the Edgars of Moffat were descended from the Scotts of Canonbie and said to have been some relation to Lord Buccleuch.

For example, 1851 census: 49 Broughton Street (Edinburgh) Primrose Scott, 73, annuant per the Duke of Buckleigh. This Lady apparently connects with my family.
