Hi Doreen

I think that building up a total picture of the family name/areas is probably one of the only ways we're going to solve this one. I've got this prob with my Carson line (see Kirkcudbright thread).

I leave them for a while then go back again and build up a bit more info.

Hi Gadget,
Seen your Carson's on the Kirkcudbight thread,must send your head in a spin at times.
With a John Buchanan, the Bells and Blacklocks in Middlebie, I think I'll follow them and see what comes of it.

Both you and Russell have been a great help, hopefully something will turn up.

Doreen.

Hi Gadget,
Found the Family at last- but not Christopher, may be he was up in the hills with his sheep.

Found his father and mother and a sister plus two brothers on the 1851 Scottish census at Ancestry ,  the name was transcribed as Buchannon, they where all born in Middlebie and living in Canonbie.

Then went on the SP site and had a field day via the search for their deaths , found Christopher's  grandparents recorded on his father James and mother Janet's certs . I now have Jackson's, Little's, and Davidson's as part of my tree.
I also found a John Buchanan living in Miidlebie he turned out to be the elder brother to James , having the same parent's recorded on his death cert . His wife was Elizabeth Hope their son Gavin registered his death so I think I will to find a lot more on the SP site.
I think Christopher was named after someone from the Little side of the family as there were a couple of Christopher Little's living in Middlebie and Canonbie.

I need to go back further than 1855 for death or burial records , do you know if burial books from Society's would give as much detail as the S P site

Cheers from Elated
