Hallo again Listers, This mail might be misunderstood. I did mean families connected to Seton and not specifically the name Seton although it is a name which crops up. Is there anybody with connections to SETON/ SEATON ca. 1650 to 1750? I may have interesting information for them. Best Wishes, From, Michael

He is a Spark which his grandfather, who done a painting of my grandfather while in the war, would be my great uncle whom is the brother to my grandfather Gordon. The information given to him was from the cousin of my mother who she has not seen in over 40 something years. Unfortunately mom doesn't know much about the family. I found "Spark" on here when he posted a message looking for my greatgrandfather. So we try to keep in touch after I met him but he is too now at a standstill. Thank you sooo much for your time you have taken for me ! And when I am able to get farther, I again will let you know !! Cheers ! Deborah

How did you get this great information? Best wishes, Elinor.

But what I have found is that Isabella Baillie remarried after Davids' death. She married a Thomas Heriot about 1871. David died in 1870. Thomas's occupation was a ploughman. Isabella died in 1905 in Cockpen, Scotland. Cheers !! Deborah

I'm a descendant of Alexander's brother William b. 1775. Have much on the family. Willing to share with you.

Good evening If you have a few hours to spare read on and thank you if you make it to the bottom of the page without falling asleep. The earliest WALLACE I have a positive connection with is my G.G.G.G. grandfather WILLIAM WALLACE b circa 1756 Bolton. I believe his Father was DAVID WALLACE. DAVID WALLACE b 25 May 1721 Dunbar to ROBERT WALLACE & ELSPITH FINDLAY ( FINLAW ) ALISON REIDPATH b 18 Sept. 1724 Greenlaw to ALEXANDER REDPATH & ANN GILLILAND DAVID WALLACE m ALISON REIDPATH 23 June 1748 Bolton David is noted as Gardener at NewHall in the old parish records on some of the baptism entries for his children. The web site OLD-MAPS.Co.UK shows an 1856 map with NewHall having a formal garden layout and "monument". However the only evidence today is a wooded area with a stream called Newhall Beck. David and Allison do not appear to have used the accepted "naming pattern" for their children although the use of JAMES for the first born son may have been seen as "traditional" as it occurs in so many of the first born males back through the family. Non of DAVID'S siblings use the "naming" rule either. Issue of David and Alison all in the Parish of Yester except Janet. JAMES b 1749 GEORGE b 1750 JANET b 1761 HUGH b 1754 WILLIAM b 20 Feb. 1756 witness PATRICK YULE and PATRICK COCKBURN MARGARET b 1759 JANET b 1761 Humbie It was/is only by cross-referencing all the WILLIAM births of the correct age with the connection to both a GEORGE and a JOHN (Wallace witnesses to the two later daughters of the above William) in their fathers immediate family that I am now 80% convinced this is the correct line to follow after building a database of all WALLACE births and marriages in Eastlothian and Berwick. HOWEVER I keep coming back to this family as I have no 100% proof that I have followed the correct path other than the " coincidence" of birth dates, names and location. I have searched later generations of Wallace in the area for instances of first born David's and second born Allison's with little success.Only finding an ALISON born 29/03/1761 to DAVID's contemporary a WILLIAM WALLACE and JANET BATHGATE in SALTON. This naming co-insides with the naming of David and Allison's JANET the same year. Could it be yet another coincidence or did the two couples know each other. After all that the questions I need help with ( apart from the meaning of life and everything ) are 1) Anyone have any records of a WILLIAM WALLACE born to a WILLIAM WALLACE & JANET MENNINS Dirleton circa 1750 to 60 ? 2) Ditto for WILLIAM WALLACE & JANET BATHGATE Salton circa 1750 to 60 ? 3) Any mortcloth records Dirleton, Bolton,Humbie of a DAVID WALLACE or ALISON WALLACE nee REDPATH circa 1777 to 1790? I would welcome any help, advice , comments Best regards George Wallace

I also have a James Gordon who was at the time of the Census in 1881 at David William Gordon's and his sister Isabella. James was marked as Nephew....... who's I don't know. He was 16 at the time, so he had of been born around 1865. There is also a James Allan Gordon born 1897 and married in 1920 he died in scotland in 1973 Falkland Fife. He has one child that I am a where of and his name is James Gordon. John gordon who married Helen Grieve in 1873 her parents where William Grieve and Isabella White. From what I can see she has a sister Margaret and a brother Alexander who was born in 1857 the 7 of March. Where does your Helen Grieve come in ?? And your James Allan Gordon?? What year was he born? Let me know if this was any help ! The Census I mentioned was 1891 as for Helen and Jane I don't know what happened to them during that time but helen was born in 1854 and Jane was born in 1860. If you see any connection let me know!! Cheers!

Hi Jill, Thanks for your GIBSON info . At the moment I'm stuck on mine at 1782ish with a David GIBSON whom I cannot find hide nor hair of except that the Edrom parish record on the birth of one of his children says he's "hind Sheriffhall" so I am expanding my horizons . His wife was Isabella RENTON from Eyemouth. I can only find two children which would be a bit unusual for those days ..and am now searching in other parishes . regards, Gary in Vancouver >I have two GIBSON lines; one in Scotland and one in the US (VA to MD to PA in >the late 18th and early 19th centuries.) > >Jean GIBSON, born app. 1710 (my estimate based on her husband's date of birth >and their marriage date) married Robert NISBET at North Berwick, 16 Oct. >1731. Their children included Marion, Mary, Janet, Jean, and Catherine. >Once again, this information comes from the careful research Doreen did on >the family, for which I am thankful. > > >Jill Clark >listowner, SCT-EAST-LOTHIAN >researching COWE, BORTHWICK, LAMOND, HARKES, RATTRAY, NISBET, JENKINSON, >SANDERSON, BURNS, GRIEVE, GIBSON, BROWN > > >==== SCT-EAST-LOTHIAN Mailing List ==== >This week in East Lothian: you can read the East Lothian Courier online at http://www.eastlothiancourier.com/ > >============================== >To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 >
