My ancestors Archibald Edington b. 23/5/1756 in Coldingham married Helen Lumsdane abt 1778. According to Archibald's 1838 will he had 4 surviving children. John. b. abt 1782 in Coldingham Archibald abt 1789 James 1793 in Coldingham Rachel b. abt 1801.
I think he may have other children Alexander b. 3/10/1779 at Coldingham and Helen b. 16/4/1781 Coldingham, if so they must have died prior to his will in 1838.
I am trying to establish Archibald's parents. I think they were Alexander Edington and Agnes Grant, but I cannot be sure. Can any one help with query?? I have the death certs for the children and Archibald's will, but of course his parents are not listed.
Does anyone have any suggestions where to go from here. I have checked the coldingham MI pre- 1855's but no luck.
There were so many Edington's in this area, that it is so confusing who belongs to who Hope someone has an idea.
Cheers Roby
