Hi Dawn,
Would you be kind enough to look for any Herbertson families in Galashiels in 1851?
Parents Andrew (aged 40 or so) and Euphemia (aged 38), and 6 children.
There may also be and Adam Herbertson and his wife Isabel. (They are the older generation).
Thanks
Nell

** one of a firm of 2 employing 37 masons 6 app, 11 joiners 7 app,36 labourers and 2 sawers, total 98
It seems he was probably working with your Andrew Herbertson who lived next door.
On the other side at number 14 Hill street, old town are:

Ann Herbertson Wife Married Age 47 Born Roxburghshire

Thats all it gives me on their address's, hope this helps.

Hi Runner,
I've looked for a Mary Ann Rutherford and a Thomas Rutherford on the 1851 census for Galashiels and Selkirk but they aren't there at that time. Sorry, let me know if i can be of more help.
Dawn
