The last went pear shape 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 on the 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 family below. it would be around Ashkirk, Kirkhope, or if they recognise any names Many Thanks Bob Born Married Date Married Andrew Elder 1819 Jane Stewart 1840 Robert 1840 Lillian Gunson 1860 Adam 1842 Agnes Hunter 1865 William 1845 Catherine Baptie 1873 Catherine 1848 Andrew Harvey 1871 Helen Hogg 1851 Died Spinster 1899 George Stewart 1852 Catherine Jardine James 18 Margaret Simpson 1897 Andrew 1856 Died 1862 Walter Grieve 1858 Elizabeth Stark 1879 Elizabeth 1862 Thomas Henderson 1882 Jane 1864 Died Spinster 1928 Agnes 1866 William Henderson 1909 Andrew 1869 Died Bachelor 1893

I don't have the census you want, but I am curious about connections to the younger sister of my 2g-grandfather and the 29-year birthing period. Don Asquith

I should be grateful if someone could look at the 1871 census for Violet ANDERSON, born 1862 in Kelso for me please. Her parents were George ANDERSON & Euphemia BOA. Many thanks

Judy, I had written you Sept. 2 of this year regarding your message as listed above. My interest is in finding the parents, etc. of John Robson. I was told he was born in Roxburgh or Roxborough in 1799. Another time I was given the town of Newcastleton, which is in Castleton parish, I believe. What I wonder is if you had any background on your Robert Robson born 1740 in Morebattle regarding his family other than Helen (Ellen), his daughter. I believe she married into your WALDIE line. Do not know if you wrote back before, but I'd be interested in hearing from anyway. Thanks, Judy Dawe, Saginaw, MI

Is there a problem with the list, not getting any messages.

Thanks John, I wasn't aware of that. I too have merchant navy ancestors but don't have the foggiest idea where to start looking for them!

Good morning George & Claire, Don't spend money looking for Marine Deaths on "Scotland's People " - they aint there ! "Minor Records - Marine Deaths " have not yet been digitised. I was in New Register House yesterday researching men lost at sea and their details can only be accessed through using the fiche - with no print out facility. I understand, unofficialy, there are no plans to have these on line in the near future. Regards. John. John D. Stevenson, Trinity Research Services, Scottish Maritime History Research.

Hi there, It means he died at sea - he was probably in the Merchant Navy.

John do you think it would be possable for James AITKIN to join the Navy?. In the 1881 census it says he is married with two children. The census says he is aged 34 but it should be 24.Maybe they got called up at that age. George

I am looking for the death of a James AITKIN, maybe i have found it with Scotlands people, but i am not sure.It says he died in 1890 at the age of 32. What has me puzzled is that the district is Marine Register and the county is Minor Records, could anyone please explain this to me. There is no image to see and i wouldnt like to spend £10, which could be the wrong cert. George

I saw the recent postings concerning TURNBULLs in Roxburghshire. I have a connection to a TURNBULL family in Lilliesleaf. John TURNBULL (b. 1791) married Ann BOA (b. 1788), and they had one child born in Lilliesleaf (John, b. 1814) before emigrating to Montreal, Canada. John's sister Janet TURNBULL (b. 1795) married Ann's brother Robert BOA (b. 1796 in Holydean) and they too emigrated to Montreal. They apparently had two children born in Scotland before emigrating, but the baptismal records have not been found. Their youngest sister Helen TURNBULL (b. 1799) also emigrated, and married William GRAY in Montreal in 1820. Both TURNBULL-BOA families were in Canada by 1816. The parish registers of Lilliesleaf show the parents of John, Janet and Helen TURNBULL as John TURNBULL and Euphemia TURNBULL, and one family story suggests they were first cousins, but I have not succeeded in identifying the earlier generations. The registers show a family of ten for this couple, but I have not traced the other seven children. I believe the two TURNBULL-BOA marriages were likely in Lilliesleaf, as they do not appear in the OPR records available through the LDS, and marriage records for Lilliesleaf do not begin until 1817, at least in the LDS database. Does anyone belong to this TURNBULL family, or have additional information about them? My connection, incidentally, is through Robert BOA and Janet TURNBULL, who were my GGGgrandparents. Keith in Montreal

Can any lister help me please? I am researching the following: Thomas Ferguson born 30 September 1857 in Hawick - parents William Ferguson and Margaret Elliot. Married 23 July 1880 in Hawick to Mary Anne Shannon born 1 February 1861 in Hawick - parents Hugh Shannon and Margaret Hamilton. Nine children are: William Ferguson born 24 January 1879 - out of wedlock. Hugh born 1880 Margaret born 1883 Thomas born 1885 Annie born 1890 Isabella born 1891 Andrew born 1893 John born 1895 Jane born 1897 all in Hawick I have this family up to the 1901 Census which shows then in Hawick. I am trying to find the death details of both parents but so far have been unable to find anything what-so-ever even after going through the LDS Death films. Can anyone please help me Regards Andrew

Could SKP look up on the 1851 Census for a David Murray aged about 35, Inn Keeper, Melrose Darlinghaugh. He was on the 1841 at Bridge End. Georgia Clements, Maryborough.Qld.Aust.

According to the "Dodgson Manuscript", Nanny TURNBULL, a native of Liddesdale Sct, married John TELFORD, of Bewcastle CUL at Haltwhistle, Northumberland in 1808. John was the s/o Thomas and Ann [ROUTLEDGE] TELFORD of Bewcastle. Thomas was born about 1747 at Bewcastle to Thomas and Mary [LINDSEY] TELFORD of Scotland. Thomas Sr supposedly was the brother of John TELFORD and the uncle of Thomas TELFORD of DMF. Thus, John and Nanny possibly were 2nd cousins to Thomas TELFORD. I will appreciate any info about this possible connection. Robert Telford

I'll post this slightly out-of-district reference to Turnbulls only because there has been mention of Turnbulls in Edinburgh, and because there are links to Roxburgh in subsequent generations. James TURNBULL was the first husband of my ancestor Helen Vair m: July 14, 1783 at Edinburgh Parish. They had three children, including Margaret Anderson Turnbull b: 1784, Jean Turnbull b: 1785, and William Turnbull b: 1787. I don't know much about the children after that. James must have died prior to 1797 as Helen Vair remarried my direct ancestor (Alexander Ferrie) in that year. Their granddaughter (not a Turnbull) strangely moved to Kelso from 1847-1861 and baptised several children there before returning to Edinburgh. Graeme Toronto, Canada.
