Catherine Harvey nee Sangster

[morageckford]

Catherine Sangster, unmarried, had a son in Kelso, Roxburghshire in July 1799. The child was called Lockhart Baillie and the acknowledged father was George Baillie of Jerviswood and Mellerstain, father of the 10th Earl of Haddington. There is plenty of information about him but nothing on Catherine Sangster, which is not a name local to the Kelso area. Her name on Lockhart's death certificate is Catherine Harvey nee Sangster. Cannot find a record of her birth, marriage to Harvey or death. Any help most welcome as we've reached a dead end!

Hi morageckford, Have you looked on both sides of the border?       Pat

[morageckford]

Yes - friend I'm helping has looked everywhere!

Is this a possibility from the IGI for a marriage/birth for Catherine

Thankyou very much for this CaroleW, I'll investigate.

Have another look at the links above  I have just realised I posted the marriage link twice instead of the birth link

This is exciting - I wonder if we've found her at last. Not local to Kelso, as I suspected.

Thankyou for taking the trouble to do this.
