Looking for some kind soul to help me with a BIG headache ...
My g-g-grandfather, David Middlemiss m. Jane Hastie on 10 Dec 1819 at Hutton Mill, Hutton, Berwick. At the time of his marriage David was living in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, later being listed as a linen and woollen draper in the 1818 Pigot's Directory. David and Jane had six children, Elizabeth b. 1820, John b. 1922, Peter b. 1823 Janet b. 1825, Mary b. 1828 and Archibald b. 1830, the first five children were born in Berwick-Upon-Tweed, Archibald was born in Hutton, Berwick. The family left B-U-T in 1831, purportedly for America, with one member eventually coming 'Down Under' to continue the family line.
It is believed that David may have been born in Berwick in 1892, his parents being John Middlemiss and Jenat Bairnsfather. They had a son David b. that year, but how I be sure that 'their' David is 'my' David?
I would appreciate any guidance as to where I could start searching for clues.
