I am interested to know if anyone has any information regarding the Blyth Farm. One of my ancestors purchased in 1695 or 96 and I was just wondering if there is anything still there. Thank you from Vancouver Island BC

I think it's time to repost my interest. I am studying the history and migration of the PORTEOUS and PORTEUS families (as well as other variant spellings, such as PORTAS, PORTESS, PORTIS, PORTICE, PORTUS - amongst many others). I'm researching the history and spread of the above names ­ especially the migration of members of any branches of this formerly small Borders family from southern Scotland - initially to England and Ireland, then to the US and Canada - and later to the former British colonies of New Zealand, Australia and South Africa (from the 17th through to the early 20th centuries), and the main original areas of settlement (cities, provinces and states). Lincolnshire is known to have contained a large cluster of PORTEOUS families from the eighteenth century onwards. Any confirmed information regarding dates of emigration or arrival and places of origin and settlement would be appreciated.

Dear Friends, I am new to this list and hoping someone, perhaps family connections would assist us with gaps in our research. What we know is that DAVID FLETCHER married JANET BRUNTON at Biggar 24th Sept. 1847. 1851 Census shows: Parish Biggar, Lindsylands Cottage FLETCHER David Head 38 Cattle Dealer Janet Wife 38 Thomas Son 1 NIMMO Janet Servant 17 DAVID FLETCHER came to Australia in 1853 (a Widower) and married ALICEN NIMMO, also from Biggar. They subsequently had 9 children. We would be very pleased if anyone who has access to Church or Cemetery Records between 1847 and 1853, and would give us the details of Janet's death and that of her 2 children. David's Death Certificate states there were 2 children of his first marriage (deceased) This message is from David Fletcher's Gt.Grandson Warwick Fletcher in Australia, and he would be so grateful to have this information. W.Ison(mother-in-law)
