Thanks everyone for replying to my query. George

Further to your query, the notation "Reg of Cor, Enter Vol 11, P 125 December 5th 1891" is a reference to a book called the Register of Corrected Entries kept at New Register House, where you can look up the full explanation of subsequent corrections to the death registration, which is based only on the best knowledge (often times incorrect) of the informant. Laura Clark Yuma, Arizona

Good morning George, In Scottish legal terms it is " a statement given by a witness". In your example it is a " written report of the evidence of witnesses to a sudden/suspicious death" My mother died in, at home in bed, while I was in the back garden and her certificate is similarly marked. I had to give a statement to a solicitor explaining where I was prior to her death. At the time the cause of death was not obviousl. Trust this is of help. regards, John.

Thanks for the information about my query. I now have some idea how to answer my children when they bring up those awkward questions. Once again thanks. George

I have purchased a death certificate for my wifes gg grandmother an wondered if someone could explain to me what is written on the side. The death is registered on the 28th November 1891. At the side is written (Result of (Think this is the word) PRECOGNITION, Sec Reg of Cor, Enter Vol 11, P 125 December 5th 1891. Havent got a clue what it means, maybe someone out there can help me. Thanks in advance. George

Bob, I know what you mean. I was up at Edinburgh in August hunting for this TEMPLE family and I found the chapel in question for dissenters/non-conformists -- the Blackfriars Free church in Jedburgh -- and I was looking for any B.M.D records available. Only bapt. records available, from the mid 1700's to the mid 1800's , and the period I wanted was 1800 to say 1812. All the bapt. records were there, clearly written, with one gap, -- yes-- 1800 to 1812. As a friendly archivist remarked, "Aye, I think it's a conspiracy against you".

Listers, if someone died in Camptown, Jedburgh parish between 1841-1851, would the death have been registered ? In England this was the case from 1837 onwards. The persons I'm looking for were dissenters and non-conformists, so would they have likely been buried locally to Camptown or did dissenters have their own burial grounds ? Mike Temple, Spain.

I am hoping that someone will have a connection to the name of Elder. I have about 400 names in my family tree all from the Roxburgh area. These are a few of the names that married into my Elder family Mary Ann Gunson m:1926 Isabella Mitchell Bell m: 1924 Cecilia Anderson m:1932 John Kenneth Anderson m:1948 John Rogerson m:1939 Margaret R Wilson m:1946 Henry Slorance m:1923 William J Dalgliesh 1948 Jeannie Craw m:1922 had a daughter Agnes Stewart Elder m: Derek Lee 1957 Hoping it may ring some bells Bob Elder

I have checked the 1851 Census for Roxburghshire, Selkirkshire, Peeblesshire and most of Berwickshire, and no John Milroy appears there. Sorry not to have a positive result but hope this may eliminate some areas from your search. Regards Graham Maxwell Kirkpatrick Fleming Dumfriesshire

I've been searching for information on John Milroy who was living in Kelso at the time of his death on April 2, 1856. He died of a fracture to the skull causing instant death at the turnpike road, Maxwellburgh, but was living at Beaumont Street, Kelso, at that time. He was born in Kirkcudbright in 1819. He had two children that I know of, and he was a widower. Is it possible to have a lookup done in the 1851 census for Kelso or maybe an MI? His death reg states he was buried at the Churchyard of Kelso. Thank you for any help anyone can give me in this.

Marion, thanks for your reply, and since no TEMPLE's at Camphouse in 1851, I assume both George and Isabella must have died somewhere between 1841-51. Do you know if any death records are available for this period ? Mike Temple, Spain.

Can some one be kind and do a search for me on the 1841 census of the above lady in Roxburgh or Selkirk.She has changed her name from Fairbairn to Lawson on each of her childrens birth cert stating this was her maiden name.Her marriage to Robert Elliot in 1858 lists Lawson,she states she was 25 yrs which make her birth date 1833.Her burial record list parents Walter Lawson and Janet Jackson.This Lawson family had their first child 1841 being marr.1840!! Ithink maybe her original parents died and she was bought up by this family. I am hoping i may trace her in the census as being 8 years old. Thank you for your help. Coral

I have tried this twice before but it did not turn out right Last week I spent a couple of days in Edinburgh Record Office, which was very fruitful only it gave me more headaches. I found my Gt. Gt. Gd Parents had thirteen children, four of which I knew nothing about. Talking to one of the staff just as I was leaving, they said I should have had a look the 1861 & 1871 Census but I did not have time. So if anyone has the 1861/1871 census for Roxburgh I would appreciated if they could take the time and look up the Elder family below. They would be around Ashkirk, Kirkhope, or if they recognise any names. I did find out that none of the children where registered Many Thanks Bob Andrew Elder b: 1819 m: Jane Stewart Robert b: 1840 Adam b: 1842 William b:1845 Catherine b: 1848 Helen Hogg b:1851 George Stewart b: 1852 James b: 18??
