Hi Beckey
The information on the Holmes/Swanston was very good, Are you doing the Holmes side of the family as well?

Hi Jen,

The Fairgrieve was connected to my wife's paternal line by marriage, the Fairbairn has nothing to do with it other than that was her mother's name.

The Holme's I am not following up as they do not belong to my wife and the Swanstons are a line in Eyemouth which again are a connection by marriage between a Aitchison and Wait and one of their daughters.

Hi Jen     Just found your postings on the Holmes/Swanston family.  Alexander Holmes is my 2nd Great Grandfather and his daughter Mary Holmes is my Great Grandmother.  Mary married Thomas Huggan s/o John Huggan and Isabella Moffat.  Thomas and Mary had 11 children, their 6th child, Thomas Moffat Huggan born Jan 30, 1872 in Melrose came to the United States in April 1893 with Jane Cairns from Berwickshire.  They married in New York in September 1893 and lived in Newark NJ for a time with his brother Alexander Huggan and family.  Thomas and Jane then moved to Maplewood, NJ and he built the family home and had 6 children, the youngest being my father Alexander born Dec 4, 1907.  Would love to share info with you on this line if you want.  How are you related to either the Holmes line or the Swanstons?  Let me know what information you need and I will see if I have it.  I am still working on the Huggan line, trying to connect all the various branches.  I have some information on the Holmes side but I mainly concentrate on the Huggan line.  Hope to hear from you soon.

Regards  Marlene

Hello Marlene
What a lovely surprise to hear from you.  It is the Holmes line I tend to follow I have the marriage certificate of Mary Holmes to Thomas Huggan i think either that or death certificate I have very little on the Swanston line, if you wish I will give you what information I have.
Hope to hear from you soon
Regards Jen.

I would love to have what ever information you have on anyone in the Holmes family and whatever you have on the Swanstons.  If you tell me what you would like that I might have, I willl be most happy to send it to you.  Are you searching on anyone in the Huggan family?  If so, I would love that also. 
that is my direct line.

regards

Marlene

See the "WHELLANS family - Morebattle" thread just above this one for posts by morageckford mentioning the George Taylor book "From Kelso to Kalamazoo". The index to this book has eight listings for Agnes, Janet and (mainly) William HUGGAN, who were known to the author in Victorian times.
