HI I am from Eddleston, and can't help you, but there were Murrays attached to the Black Barony Hotel in Eddleston. They even have a little cemetery on the grounds. Not sure this is of any help though, but just a thought.

I am hoping someone on the list will be able to help me with what will seem an impossible task. I am making a list of all the Elder's in the Borders, Peebles, Selkirk, Roxburgh, I have taken all the names I can find from the Census on http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/ for the periods 1841-1901. Now I'm putting them in groups and I need to find out the Relation to each household the census address and where each on was born. If anyone has access to the census I would appreciate any help given Bob Elder

I'm looking for information about Alexander Russell, b. Sept. 24, 1721, d. Feb.24, 1774. I have his children but not his wife nor his father and mother. I do know Adam Russell of Burnfoot was a witness to baptism of Alexander's son, Thomas, bap. Mar. 28, 1751. Perhaps Burnfoot is near Peebles where Thomas was born. Karol in Michigan

Can someone answer the following query for me please. What was the first year that Scottish Birth certs showed the Marriage date of Parents?. I am looking at Birth certificates from Counties of Peebleshire and Edinburgh. I notice that an 1865 Birth certificate has it on but an 1860 Birth certificate does not. . My own G.Grandparents William Renwick and Agnes Alexander state on the birth certificates of two children both born at Moorfoot, Parish of Temple, Edinburgh in 1866 and 1869 respectively that they were married 26th December 1855 at Stow, Edinburgh. I cannot find this marriage recorded in either SRO records or Parish register indexes. Kenneth Vearncombe Researching Renwick in Peebleshire/Borders http://renwick.mysite.freeserve.com
