My conections are Jane Stenhouse b 1849 daughter of William Stenhoue and Jane Davidson who married James Veitch son of George Veitch and Margaret Cockburn who were married May 6 1853 in Hutton Parish Berwickshire. I have an Elizabeth Stenhouse born in 1855 but to my knowledge she remained unmarried. I have Helen Baptie who married James Nichol in 1802 in Yarrow.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my request for a look up for a MI for George Lockie. Regards Bev

Hi listers, Would anyone with access to the Monumental Inscriptions for Saint Boswells be able to do a look up for a George LOCKIE please. >From the Scottish Documents site he died intestate 12 February 1879 at St Boswells. I would like to establish that this is the George Lockie, married to Isabella THOMSON at Melrose 24 Dec 1850. Known children James born 1851 (married 1879 Mary BROAD - his second marriage) and Euphemia born 1852. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks Bev

The 7th Duke, born at Floors in 1839, would seem to be the best candidate for the trousers story. I think the 6th Duke was born about the same time as Benjamin. The first pair of trousers thing may refer to the boy being 'breeched'. I had a quick google and this might happen anytime after 3 or 4, sometimes up to 10 or 11 years old. Unlikely then that the Duke had his trewsers before 1841, so your man should be in Scotland at that date, probably leaving by 1845 when his son was born. It seems most likely that he would be in Kelso itself, which is not that huge, so that a search of the 1841 census film at an LDS centre shouldn't take more than a hour.

Hi Judy In reply the Andrew MITCHELL I have, married Euphemia STENHOUSE on the 10 June 1867 in Inverkeithing The lady was born 26 Mar 1842 in Clackmanan. The sources were the I.G.I. Clackmanan C114326 and M114661 Nothing personal on Andrew but the date of marriage and a time frame plus an area. Good hunting. Faith Bay of Islands NZ.

Does anyone have a Andrew Douglas marrying Sarah Elder, 1884 in Bedrule, in their tree. Sarah b: 1863 d: 1896. Parents Robert Elder & Lillias Gunson. Did Sarah & Andrew have any children? Just an other branch in my tree I'm trying to climb Bob

The National Archives of Scotland have a good website where you can find a bit about what archives they have on the Roxburgh Estate - so you could take a look there before you may decide to visit Edinburgh. However, I suspect you may find lots of "loose bundles" of papers - i.e. all sorts of letters, bills and the like that would take an enormous amount of (possibly wasted) time to sift through. If you know (or suspect) where he was in 1841 you could try the census for more info (and the later decennial censuses)?

Hello Faith What timescale are we looking at here? I have a missing Andrew MITCHELL, all I know is really is that he was the brother of my ggg grandfather James MITCHELL, supposed to have been from Kelso. they had another brother called Thomas (there were a couple of Thomas MITCHELLs in Kelso around the same date he, (andrew) had a daughter who is 'buried at Repentance Tower' nr Hoddam the family had strong links with the Annan and Hoddam areas James's children were born between 1830 and 1840 WILKIE was used as a middle name for one daughter. So Andrew MITCHELL was most likely born some time around the turn of the 18th to 19thCs. not much to go on I know.
