Thank you for your thoughtful and informative mail. I have only the marriage listing ( to my oldest known ancestor John Walker) in the east Lothian area of Scotland. There seems to be very little that I have been able to find on the Begbie's and have no way of knowing if we have a connection unless some form of documentation has been found. My information comes from the book "Prestonkirk: The People of 1851" written by Diane D McNicoll. Unfortunately, no one has been able to contact her and some materials I paid her for have never arrived nor have I ever heard from her. How sad :-(. She was wonderful to myslef and my fiance' when we had tea with her in East Linton and I am sure she would be of help if we could find her. The book lists 4 begbies: Isobel, James, jane, and Jean. If you think any of your Begbies might be in there I will look them up and send you what is printed. I hope you and your husband find luck with your Begbies!!!!!!!!!! :-) Jim R.
