Hi,
Thanks for the offer.
I have been looking for years for the marriage of Michael Clyne and Rebecca [may be HIGGINS] although I have various surnames for her. The first child was born c1850 but the child's baptism where the Higgins surname was mentioned was 1854.
Someone has already done a Lamberton Toll look-up for me but don't know if Foulden and Mordington are entered in this.
Thanks,
Rae

Hi there, Sorry I couldnt help with that as the book I have is only gravestones in the Foulden and Mordington cemeteries, in Berwickshire and there are no CLYNE's or HIGGINS in there. However, I have a book of all the surnames listed in East Lothian taken from the Old Parish Registers,, and both CLYNE and HIGGINS are in that. Maybe you could try East Lothian(The next county to Berwickshire?) Good luck anyway.

Thanks a lot for looking that up for me. At least I can rule these two out now.

I am looking for Clazey or any variation of that spelling.  Still searching after nearly 10 years for either the death or marriage of John Clazy or Clazey or Claizy and Isabella Oswald.  I noticed the name of Tough in your list of names...my line comes down from Peter Tough and Ann Keith married 1833, Aberdeenshire.  Have not found his birth or father either!

Thank you.

Hi There
I havent come across the name Clazey or any of the other spellings of it so far, but I will look out for it. My TOUGH's are a problem too, and it doesnt help when they change to TUFF either lol. The furthest back I have with mine is Charles TOUGH who was a stonemason, but he was born in 1801 in Rescobie, Angus(Forfarshire), and brothers James and William Still hunting for his father...no doubt a Charles as well as that name haunts me in this family hehehe.
Good hunting!

Thank you for looking.  You are haunted by a Charles...we are haunted by an Alexander...maybe!  Peter Tough had a son James and that is my line.  His son, Alexander, was a stonemason and when he came to the United States became a contractor.  Peter was not born in Aberdeen and that is the sticking place.  He had a brother, Alexander. But have found nothing beyond that!

Hi cavvytri,

Thanks for your kind offer. Do you have any Burnets in Foulden? I think I have proved a connection to them. So far, I have Margaret Burnet, christened 1779 in Foulden, daughter of Thomas Burnet and Margaret Smith. She married Adam Home/Hume in 1803. Other children to Thomas and Margaret were Agness (1792), Isable (1785) and Mary (1789). Mary possibly married a relation (brother?) of Adam Hume in 1808.

Thanks again,
hume24 Smiley

Hi Hume24.
There is only one BURNET listed in Foulden cemetery, and it says it is on a wall

   Here lyes the corps of JAMES, JOHN, CATHERIN, JOHN BURNETS children to JOHN BURNET.

Thats all it says, must be a really old one as there are no dates etc mentioned.

Greetings,

I have ancestors who lived around Duns, some of whom were in Foulden/Mordington. Can you lookup for me references to FORD / FOORD? It may help me figure out some of the ancestry of the family...
- SIMON

P.S. Below are my research notes...
For over 100 years many generations of Foords had worked as tenant farmers, wrights and hinds (laborers) in the 15-mile stretch of farmland between Duns and Berwick-on-Tweed on the coast in England. Parish records trace Foord ancestors back to the 1600’s living and working in the County. Little did John realize his would be the last generation of his family to work as a farmer in Berwickshire.

As a young adult ‘John Foord’ was a resident of Foulden Parish; he married Isabella Thompson of neighbouring Mordington Parish in the summer of 1835. [The older records are more likely to spell the surnames as Foord and Thomson]. The minister was Mr Aire the burgher minister for Ayton.

The following year his oldest daughter Elizabeth Ford was born nearby in Mordington, which was the same parish her mother was from; the rest of his children were all born in Swinton Parish. John had moved to be the overseer of Swinton House circa 1837. This was a significant job opportunity with responsibilities managing an estate. Clearly John was distinguishing himself to have been given this position. By the time of the 1841 Census he was 39 years old, married and with 5 children.

Hi
In Foulden there is   

"Here lyes the body of DAVID, son to John FOORD and Margaret WILSON who died 15.1.1769 aged 11 years."

on the reverse

"In memory of Benjamin FOORD who died 27.1.1734 aged 28 years."

They are the only FOORD's recorded there.
Hope it helps
