Hi there,

I can't say anything about the cemeteries, but there are 4 Shiplys mentioned in the 1851 census for Hawick if that is any use...

Cheers,

Hi Elaine,

They are all one family, living at Backrow

William Shiply, Head, 25, Woollen framework knitter, England Leicester
Margaret Shiply, Wife, 29, Woollen Hosiery Seamstress, Roxburgh Hawick
Caroline Shiply, Daughter, 1, Roxburgh Hawick
Frederick Shiply, Son, 3 weeks, Roxburgh Hawick

What are the Turnbulls you are looking for?  It is a very common name in the Borders so there are loads in the 1851 census.

Cheers,
Clare

Hi again,

Not sure if this is info you already have, but I found a marriage of William Shipley and Margaret Stevenson on 28 August 1848 in Hawick.  This may be the same couple.

You should be able to track the family on later census' on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk, which has the Scottish census from 1861 to 1901 online.  Also any birth, marriage or death certs for the family from 1855 onwards. 

Cheers,
Clare
