Robert Denham/Denholm of Norham Mains

[mamad]

Hello,

Robert Denham/Denholm died 15 March 1839. Robert was born, married and had his children in Scotland. However, he lived at Norham Mains and his death was recorded at Berwick. His occupation is given as "beadle". As Ladykirk is only a hop and a skip from Norham, I wonder if he could have been beadle there. His widow, Jean/Janet McKenzie, died 20 Nov 1839 at Hutton and it the OPR has "widow of Robert Denham of Norham Mains".

Are there any other C of S near to Norham? Are there any records for Ladykirk(or other nearby C of S) that someone could look up or point me in the right direction?

Thanks, mamad

I've found a couple of items which may help:

There's an old posting on rootsweb which I think might interest you re the Scottish Presbyterian Church in the area you're researching and also on what was permitted and not permitted in England regarding other religions (marriages, burials, etc).

I surfed using "find Presbyterian churches in Northumberland" and discovered that the Northumberland authorities have a pdf list which can be downloaded.  It has just over two A4 pages of both Presbyterian and Congregational churches.  Using the list of the places which have a "P" against them, you could go the the GENUKI page for Norham, click on "Nearby Places" and check what you find against the Northumberland authorities church listing.

If you copy and paste into your browser the highlighted phrase below,  the search result will bring up the northumberland archive PDF list for you to download.

Thanks Rena, I'll have a look. Any information is helpful. Robert is one of my brick walls, as he also is for others researching him too.
