I see that another of your interests is HENDERSON in Northumberland. Not in Allendale, by any chance?

Harry

It's a long story, but my wife has a cousin in England whose family tradition is that their Henderson ancestors were Scots. I did some research for this lady and found her grandfather Edward Percy Henderson as a young man in the late 19th-century censuses, and he did indeed give "Scotland" as his place of birth. However, there is no trace of his birth/baptism in the Scottish records. As Edward Percy Henderson later built himself a house called "Allendale", I looked for someone of that name in Northumberland and found an Edward P. Henderson of the right age, with parents called John and Mary - the names on Edward's two marriage-certificates - living in Allendale. So I don't understand why he tried to make out he was born in Scotland.

I'm a Scot myself, born and bred, but one line of my family-tree comes from Alwinton in north Northumberland. I visited the place for the first time only a few weeks ago, although I started researching my Alwinton ancestors in the 1980s. I get there in the end!

Hi, Beckey

There has to be a relationship there somewhere.  I'm thinking that John Buglass was probably my Simpson's nephew - or more possibly grand-nephew.  Thanks for the information - I'll check into it.  Is this Buglass a relation of yours?

Not that I know off.
 But am looking at a David Buglass/Bookless at Coldingham, wife Mary Herriot, son James ca.1819 married a Janet hay in 1841, parents of her are James Heay and Janet Henderson.

James's daughter was Jeannie/Jane Henderson Buglass, married a David Aitchison in Eyemouth 1874, in my wife's tree.

From the sound of it, your wife has Hendersons and Buglasses in her background, too.  My Thomas Brown Henderson had a sister Jane that would be the right age to be the mother of Jeannie/Jane Henderson Buglass. Of course, here my imagination is running wild - but then what brought Thomas Brown Henderson to Ayton in the first place - and marrying 2 Ayton brides?  Perhaps his sister???  Ah, speculation!

At the moment all the Buglass/Bookless seem to be in Coldingham, have got to David's parents Peter & a Janet Cow and Mary Herriott to a James Herriot & Alison Martin, they are on LDS.
David and Mary are in Coldingham in 1861.

Peter Buglass and Janet Cow are in my background.  They are the parents of James who is Simpson's father.  I saw the pedigree for that family on the LDS site but didn't entirely trust it until I found James' marriage record on Scotland's People to Margaret Nisbet in 1812 showing Peter Buglass of Coldingham as his father.  James (Simpson's father) was child #5 in that family and David #6 - of the children I know about. It was Peter's 3 siblings who were written up in the Border Almanac so if this is your wife's background, she's got this story, too! If you want a copy of this, let me know.  I'm sure your wife will find it amusing!

My Greig ancestors also lived in Ayton and one married a Buglass.

I have followed the Buglass family as a result via the census returns and BMD records and may be able to help with your research.

Let me know if you are interested.

I'm always interested!  If you follow the Buglass line, my family goes like this:  Agnes Buglass -> Simpson Buglass -> James Bookless -> Peter Bookless -> John Bookless -> John Bookless.  The last John Bookless was born 1699 in Coldingham.

I have wives for each of the Buglass/Bookless men - and of course, my great-grandmother, Agnes's husband. 

The second John Bookless is as far back as I've managed with the Booklesses/Buglasses, but his wife, Margaret Richardson, allows me to go much father back.

Does your family fit in here somehow?
