Hi all A quick canter through the IGI shows an Agnes ELLIOT and Robert THOMPSON 'married' in Jan and Feb 1850, at Bowden and Selkirk. Quite possibly this is the same couple and one or both of these references are banns. These are not rare names but I think it would be worth checking out this Agnes - perhaps she was Sir Gilbert's sister and daughter of the 2nd Bart not the 3rd???
