Listers, I'm interested in the following surnames from East Lothian: PRIDE, SELKIRK, GRAY, THOMSON, AND WYMESE. If anyone has details of anyone bearing these names, please reply. Many thanks, Linda from NC

I'm researching the following names in Dunbar & Innerwick area. Eileen [email protected]

I am always looking for family... Robert AMOS, born in Spott about 1850, who married Margaret THOMSON, born in Copath, Berwick about 1849. They married in Spott on May 17, 1872. Their children were: Margaret, b. 1872 married John McINTOSH George, b. 1874 married Margaret MENZIES Henry or Hendry, b. 1877 married Christianne McKAY (1) and Annie ? (2) - they had the hardware store in Port Seton for many years Elizabeth, b. 1879 married ? ADDISON Robert, b. 1880 married Emily GREEN David Thomson, b. 1884 married Jessie BERTRAM (1), Ada TAYLOR (2), Hilda TAYLOR (3) good old Grandpa!! John, b. 1888 married Meg ? (1) and Elizabeth MacDONALD (2) If any of this sounds familiar, I would be interested in corresponding! I have yet to find the family back further than Robert AMOS and Margaret THOMSON. Bev Allen Langley, BC Canada need a copy of a birth certificate from British Columbia? check and see if it is available at http://www.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca:9000/sn-2162224/gsearch/Marriages#form and let me know, I live very close to the library where the microfilm are kept.

Haven't posted interests in a while. Thanks for the reminder. Lynn M.

Roger and List Thanks for the correction MARRION was dau., to WILLIAM WALLACE and JANET MENNINS . WILLIAM WALLACE and JANET MENNINS married 04/06/1763 It was this couple that had sons named GEORGE b 25/05/1766 and JOHN b 03/04/1768 who may have been the witnesses JOHN and GEORGE WALLACE at the christening of my G.G.G.G. Grandfather's second daughter JANET 27/08/1786 in Haddington and again for MARGARET 15/03/1789 Haddington. It could be coincidence but in the next generation my G.G.G.Grandfather,s second daughter JANET,s christening 22/09/1816 in Aberlady was witnessed by a GEORGE WALLACE. Anyway back to the plot. The two WILLIAM and JANETs are distinctly different couples as born out by the respective marriage dates and span of birth dates, (it was suggested that the WILLIAM was the same and on his second marriage but the birth dates do not bear this out). What I am trying to do is prove/disprove the next couple of generations back in my WALLACE line as the documented evidence peaters out. Positive so far last documented couple:- WILLIAM WALLACE m JANET RENTON 5thApril 1777 Saltoun. Cautioners were for the groom WILLIAM RENTON for the bride THOMAS RENTON Issue HELEN 16/03/1778 Saltoun Blind Walls WILLIAM 09/04/1780 Bolton Kirkland THOMAS 13/03/1782 Bolton Westfild WILLIAM 18/07/1784 Gladsmuir JANET 27/08/1786 Haddington MARGARET 15/03/1789 Haddington MARTHA MATILDA 23/11/1791 Dirleton I had taken the view that my WILLIAM was the son of DAVID WALLACE and ALISON REIDPATH m 23 June 1748 Bolton being their 4th son and having a brother GEORGE tipped me in that direction despite WILLIAM not using David or Alison to name his children ( advice from one lister was to ignore the naming rule but after generations of rule following I got a little nervous about that ) So here I am going round in circles again, have I made the right connection to DAVID and ALISON ? or should I still be out there looking for a WILLIAM WALLACE born to a WILLIAM WALLACE and JANET something circa 1750 ? Now if that lot has not put you to sleep or driven you mad yet then think-on that I have scoured Origins, visited Haddington and area and posted any number of similar posts and cannot fathom this. Suggestions for other search media, what dusty corner have I not looked in? any help gratefully accepted. Regards George Wallace (Yorkshire)

I, too, descend from the Ramage line. They supposedly are from Northumberland and County Durham, England and migrated to the USA in the mid 1800's. Intersting, however, is the fact that one of them was married to a Margaret Lamb. Would be interested to hear from you. My email is: [email protected] Thank you.

I received no reply except the one giving some entries from the burial register, which I already had. Last year I visited the church and its very large graveyard. I couldn't locate my family's graves, however a lady at the church told me that the MIs were being recorded. Regards, Steven Gibbs Guernsey, CI
