Berwickshire MI'S Family History Local History

Hello there,

Thank you for your kind offer. Its a bit of a long shot but do you have anything on:
James Wastle he Married Elizabeth c.1850 - they have a daughter called Jane b.1878
John Young who married a Jane Anderson - they had a son called Robert anderson young.
Alexander Black c.1850 married Isabelle/a I think it may be redpath as a maiden name but can't understand the certificate.

Sorry for the list, I appreciate you taking the time to help others. Cheesy

Hi Family Digger,

There are 4 Redpath graves together in Ayton, one of them being the one I have already given you. I am transcribing the other 3 below as they are probably related. One of them is the grave for Robert Redpath and Mary Smith complete with death dates which will allow you to get their death certificates from Scotlands People and that should give you their parents names.

Sacred to the memory of William son of Robert & Mary Redpath who died 4.2.1860 aged 17 years. The above Robert Redpath died 24.6.1880 aged 77 years. And Mary Smith his wife died 23.10.1882 aged 82 years. Also Robert Redpath son of the above who died in New Zealand. Also Susannah Renton Campbell Redpath beloved wife of John Darling Gamekeeper who died 8.10.1907 in her 77th year. Also the above John Darling died 31.8.1911 aged 74 years. Also their daughter Jessie who died in Canada 1912 aged 44. Also Joseph McFarlane beloved husband of Susan Darling who died 7.8.1941 aged 77 years.
