Dear Roy Herewith my wee list of research names in the Roxburghshire area. OLIVER; Stonedge near Hobkirk; pre 1784-1811; john.slattery@xtra.co.nz John Slattery My maternal Gt-Gt-Gt Grandfather James OLIVER vanished in 1811 to Elsdon, NBL, in England and got married before escaping to Caithness in Scotland to have his family. He was a Shepherd so he replaced those who were evicted by the Highland Clearances. Hence the 27 year time span as I expect the family would have been at Stonedge, near Hobkirk, prior to 1784 but I do not know if it was just James or the whole family that were located at Spithopehead, NBL in 1811. Note: I have NOT connected the Jedburgh OLIVER families with my family tree. John Slattery Southland New Zealand
