Hi List, I do not have a whole lot to go on at the moment. I am trying to find either baptism date or parents' names for John SCOTT who married Jean DOUGLAS. John was born in the first half of the 1700s and a search on the GRO gave me so many names, I don't even know where to start. I know they had several children born in Wilton, Roxburgh but, on the birth register for a child, the right side of page was tattered, like it had been torn from registry book and I cannot make out where he was from. I am going to throw out two guesses and say either Denholm or Dumfries. All you can make out is the letter D where it gives his name and says "of". I have a long list of possibilities that I copied and pasted from GRO. The GRO gave me 35 possible baptisms for just a 10 year period between 1735 and 1745. I came up with that time area based on the baptism of one child in 1869. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sue in Florida macduff@infionline.net
