Birth look up please... David Polworth
« on: Monday 29 September 08 21:30 UTC (UK) »

Hi

I am looking for any info on David Polworth  who was born abt 1828 in Berwickshire, Scotland.  He was married to Jannet (not sure of maiden name) and they had one son born in Scotland in 1856 - James.

I have also found 3 children on the 1881 census who were all born in Woodford, Essex.  The children were Alice b 1856, George b 1865 and James 1867.

Any help would be appreciated please!
Many thanks

Victoria
I have quite a few pictures of the churches for Foulden, Whitsome and Ladykirk, (both interior and exterior pictures).
 If you want any copies just send me a pm.

Foulden church is about 200 years old so would have been pretty new at the dates mentioned in the post above. The parish was very small and the population less than 400 up until the 1850's.

If any of the baptisms took place at the church i wonder if the old font was possibly used?

Hi Glen

Donna from Australia here.  My Polwarth ancestors came for the areas you mentioned - Foulden, Whitsome and Ladykirk.

Could I kind ask if you would be able to share the photos you have with me.  It would be much appreciated.

Thank you for reading this and look forward to hearing from you.  Donna

Welcome Donna,
Lovely that you have joined, sadly there has been no reply from Victoria, who posted this query. She hasn't been on this site since she posted the message.
I hope she is well.
Maybe Glen will be willing to help.
regards,
Jo

Hello
My wife is doing research of her family and found that she is direct related to James Polwarth. This must be brother of David Polwarth as this tread is about, and the son of William Polwarth and Elisabeth Baird. We are now trying to find out more on the parents of William Polwarth and Elisabeth Baird.
Any tips in that direction. We are also going to Scotland, and the Duns this Christmas to try to find out more.

Dear all

Thank you for your replies. Sorry for not posting again since my original post.  I have been busy raising a young child who is now 2 so I dont get to the computer as much as I did before.

I have been helping a friend at work who is a decendent of the Polworth line.  I would be happy to pass on any info on the family if anyone is interested.

Best wishes to all

Hi Everybody,

Just noticed these details, had William & Elizabeth only and for anyone that is interested.
Agnes Polworth b.4/9/1818 Foulden, married a William Weatherstone ( 11/6/1821 Sprouston) on 13/8/1847 at Whitsome.  William died before 1863 (no details found & Agnes after 1863 again no details).

Daughter Elizabeth b.16/2/1844 Whitsome, married a Adam Kerr 3/7/1863 Kelso, this joins my wife's Wait Tree.

Further too my message, have tried to find 1851 census for Polworth on S.P. without sucess, have some 1851 census details and only found this.

1851 Chirnside,Harelaw.
David Polworth  H  M  23  Ag.Lab    Whitsome.
Janet                 W  M  23                Gavinton.
William               S        3                 Hutton.
John                   S        1                 Swinton.
Peter Hay          Serv.   17  Farm Serv.   Chirnside.

Nothing in 1861 for Chirnside.

Hope it helps.
