    1. [SCT-ROX] Gray, Aitkin, Bleakie - Hawick
    2. R. Sanders
    3. Peter Gray married 10 June 1770 in Kirktown, Roxburgh, Agnes Bleakie or Aitkin (not sure which is her maiden name). This info according to IGI Batch No. M117942. The LDS film (FHL BRITISH Film 1067935) of the Church of Scotland, Parish Church of Hawick, shows baptism entries for Peter & Agnes Gray's children as follows: Peter Gray, laborer, and wife, Agnes Aitkin, parents to James, c. 5 Apr 1775. Peter Gray, weaver, and wife Agnes, parents to Janet, c. 18 Dec 1777. Peter Gray, and wife Agnes, parents to Walter and Gilbert, c. 8 Mar 1780. These three events were entered the same year, 1780, and no entry in between. Probably taken from notes or another ledger. The hand writing, is by the same person. For the year 1782, there is the following entry: Peter Gray, webster, and his wife, Agnes Bleakie, parents to Walter, c. 25 Aug 1782. Again, probably taken from notes or a ledger, and in the same hand writing as the 1780 entries. In all the above-mentioned Peter Gray entries, the witnesses were the same: "Associate Congregation". Many entries on this film show "Whole Congregation", or individual names, but Peter Gray's are unique. There are also the following burial records on the same Parish Church of Hawick film: 8 Aug 1806, Agnes Bleakie, spouse of Peter Grey 22 Dec 1810, Janet Grey, dau of Gilbert Gray. I would be most interested in hearing from anyone who is researching this family and/or knows anything about them (or thinks they might be connected in some way). Ruth Sanders
