Hi , I am new to Rootschat but have researching my family history for a few years now . Have reached a brick wall with ancestors of Thomas Hislop Paterson born 27th February 1809 at Ancrum , Roxburgh . His father was John Paterson ( the brick wall !!) and his mother was Isabella Hislop . Thomas married twice , first to Margaret Tait and then to Helen Bearap . Any help gratefully recieved .
