Hello Terry, I am new to this and I was wondering if MI means inscriptions on tombstones? If so could you do some for me? They lived in Galasheils. But I can't seem to find when they died or where they are buried. Thanks in advance, Gala Girl

Hi Terry
Have just returned from a first visit, 4 day trip, with my father to the borders, stayed in a wonderful B&B, Crailing Old School which is right next door to Crailing Kirk, were we found the headstone you mentioned in a previous post. My grt grt grt grandparents and family rest in such a beautiful spot. Details below
Erected to the memory of ELIZABETH SCOTT wife of WILLIAM EMONDS Crailing died 6.2.1862 aged 47 years also ADAM their son who died 16.5.1866 aged 15 YEARS also ROBERT his son who died 27.7.1872 aged 61/2 years THOMAS their son who died 14.10.1875 aged 34 years also JOHN their son who died 24.11.1876 aged 32 years also above WILLIAM EMONDS who died 22.3.1886 aged 72 years.
On the reverse of the same headstone: In memory of ALEXANDER EMONDS who died 23.11.1880 aged 33 years also FANNY HAMILTON his wife who died 26.7.1879 aged 30 years also ELIZABETH their daughter who died 1.5.1880 aged 16 months.
My grt grt grandparents, ALEXANDER & FANNY, both died in Glasgow, ELIZABETH their daughter Crailing and the only survivor, their son, my great granda WILLIAM EMONDS, aged 4 from the 1881 Crailing census, was living with his grandparents WILLIAM and MARGARET EMONDS (maiden name: HALL), 2nd wife, remarried 1864 and she died 28.7.1903 aged 79 & 1/2 years.
Went to churches they were married at and bands held (St Boswells & Smailholm) ,church their parents were married at (Melrose).
WILLIAM EMONDS above was born in Earlston, went there too.
Have discovered a ROBERT EMONDS married to MARGARET MERCER & m.i. for Earlston has them as EDMONDS, census as EMONDS.
I think this is my grt X3 grandfather's brother? I can't seem to trace their marriage to see if ROBERT EMONDS of EARLSTON parents are same as WILLIAMS: grt X4 THOMAS EMONDS & AGNES FRAZER.
Went to Hawick Heritage Hub, Borders Family History Society in Galashiels, but forgot to look up m.i. for MARGARET HALL/EMONDS in the parish of Crailing or there abouts. Do you have any record of her?
Wonderful, sentimental and informative time had tracing the footsteps of my ancestors.
Regards Frank Emonds

Hi Terry
Beautiful part of the country you live in, my dad couldn't get over how every little village and larger towns were so clean and well kept. 
Robert EMONDS/EDMONDS of EARLSTON died 1903 at the grand old age of 91, so I'll look at Scotlandspeople. Thanks 
Awrabest
Frank
