Carmel Have you discussed the Newcastleton Elliots with Aurea Telford. She and her sister Rosemary were both Elliotts and married two Telford brothers. She lives in Newcastleton now. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carmel Jones" <carmelitaj@eircom.net> To: <SCT-ROXBURGH-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2004 3:04 PM Subject: [SCT-ROX] Re: -- Elliot > Hello Jeffery > I am still researching the Castleton Elliots so would be delighted to get > what you have.

Hi Carmel , I have a JANET WHILLANS who married JOHN REDPATH in Hobkirk 1835. I wonder if she is any relation to your HANNAH. JANET's parents were WILLIAM WHILLENS and MARGARET OLIVER.

Hi Glenn My Hannah Whillans' parents were Archibald Whillans & Janet Scott according to her death cert 1865. Maybe there is a connection somwhere as I do not have any data on the Whillans family. Many thanks for your interest. Regards Carmel
