Hi list, I am trying to find out more about Robert HOGG, born about 1825n Yester, East Lothien as found in the Edinburgh 1851 census. His christening does not appear in the IGI, so I do not know about his parents, although his father could have been James (eldest son's name) and there could have been a 'VEARY' surname involved (daughter's middle name). There is a James HOGG and Ann VEARY married in St Cuthberts, Edinburgh in 1824 that looks promising, but I need a baptism or census record to tie Robert to them. Even finding this couple residing in Yester would be bonus. Can anyone tell me if the 1841 or 1851 census for Yester is indexed? Are there any MI's or death indexes available for the parish? Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks Bruce Simons Melbourne, Oz
Hi Bruce I have an Elizabeth Hog who married William Kedzlie. Their daughter Margaret was born 1747, but I think they came from Prestonpans. I do, however, have Wight ancestors who came from Yester and ended up in Prestonpans some generations later.
