My Gt.Gt.Gt. Grandfather was George Scott, a blacksmith who lived in Hollows, Canonbie. He had several grandchildren born out of wedlock and who lived with him and his wife. One was Mary Ann Scott. After many years of searching, I have discovered that her mother was Margaret Graham, and her father was reported to be Robert Scott, George's son, also a blacksmith at Hollows. Mary Ann married William Johnston(e) on 20th August 1880. She died on 22nd January 1881 a few days after giving birth to a son, Andrew. This information has been obtained from Scotlands People. However I have been unable to find anything concerning her mother Margaret Graham. She had been a farm servant before Mary Ann's birth. If anyone can help discover anything about her, I would be most grateful.
