Geography Question - Roxburghshire
« on: Friday 25 February 05 17:59 GMT (UK) »
What are the parishes in the county?  My ancestor was supposedly born in Newcastleton.  I was given to understand that the town was in Castleton Parish but Castleton is not one the parishes listed on FreeCEN.

Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks, RedFox

You are quite right Newcastleton is in the parish of Castleton.

The 1841 Project status fro Roxburghshire
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~houseofhall/1841%20Project%20Status.htm

Shows that Castleton has been assigned but is not completed so you won't see it listed as a search on Freecen until it is finished.

Hope this helps,
Pam
