Val, My husband informs me that Wauchope is now an outdoor centre near Bonchester Bridge Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "velma yvonne riddell" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 18, 2003 8:05 PM Subject: [SCT-ROX] WAUCHOPE > Hi Listers, > Can anyone tell me whether Waughope is a village or as I suspect a farm. Our John Riddell worked as a farm servant for a Mr. Scott in the early 1800.

Where is Bonchester Bridge? Wauchope lands once belonged to the Glendonwyns by marriage of Adam Glendonwyn to the female heir as there were no sons. Am I referring to this same area? Georganne Clendenin

Hi Barbara, Thanks for that bit of info. I have had a bit of luck today, - a Jared Riddell from Canada has send me info on John and Margarets children of Wauchope. At the time John worked in the area he worked for a Mr Scott. Someone else put up a web site - I believe it was on the Rox list for favorites to visit. Got in there and found info on Hobkirk 1791-99 and 1845, and there is a bit of info on Bonchester Bridge as well. Many thanks, am enjoying the exchange about places in Roxburgh. Val Riddell.
