Pettigrews around Hawick
« on: Tuesday 22 September 09 11:48 UTC (UK) »
I’ve had a few emails recently from descendants of Archibald Pettigrew and Isabella Miller.

Archibald was born ca 1821 in Ireland and Isabella (Archibald’s third wife!) born Teindside Bridge, some7 miles south of Hawick.

They had – to my knowledge – 7 children:

Jessie, born ca 1846
Archibald born ca 1848
Jane born ca 1848
Gideon Millar born ca 1855
Helen born 11 August 1856
John Millar born 26 May 1859
Daniel born 29 May 1863

I’m descended from his son John Millar Pettigrew, who was my great grandfather.

My own grandfather (who died some 50 years ago) used to say that the Pettigrews in Kelso and Dunbar with shops were related, but this may just have been a story to keep a young boy quiet!

Out the blue at the weekend, I had contact from a descendant of Isabella Miller’s brother Gideon Miller, in response to a posting elsewhere in Feb 2000!

Obviously from the "Huggan" postings there are other Pettigrew descendants.

In the 1851 there were 12 Pettigrews living in Wilton.

Are you related?

Hi Walter

There are 3 tree owners showing on Ancestry with the family line. If you haven't already, might be worth making contact with them to compare notes  Smiley

Hi, I too am a descendent of Archibald Pettigrew and Isabella Miller. Their daughter Helen was my great great grandmother. She married George Huggan and I descend through their son (also called John Miller HUGGAN).
