Next Sunday meeting on 26th Apr 2015 in Melrose

Crimes of an Heinous Nature - Looking at some High Court Trials by Margaret Fox, Corn Exchange & Ormiston Institute, Market Square, Melrose, TD6 9PN

Margaret will be looking into the darker side of life across the Scottish Borders during the 18th and 19th centuries, examining not only crimes which have long passed into oblivion but also those which are still making the headlines today.
Drawing on her extensive research in the High Court of Justiciary case papers in the National Records of Scotland, she will range from the political to the domestic, and from the violent to the less so, showing how these records serve to illustrate societal changes and illuminate the past in a unique way.
She will also dip into Lord Cockburn’s ‘Circuit Journeys’ which gives a truly fascinating insight into 19th century crime and criminals from the perspective of a judge who was not afraid to speak his mind!

Talk starts 2.30pm

Roxburghshire / Re: Who holds details regarding MI's/ Burials of the Teviothead Cemeteries
« on: Friday 06 February 15 12:15 GMT (UK)  »
Hello Ailsa

Borders FHS haven't recorded the MI'S at Teviothead yet but have done a bit of background research.

What are the dates of death/burial?  The graveyard is split in 2 , the most recent burials are beside the church, the older burials just across the road.  If it is post- Victorian, Scottish Borders Council should have details of the burials, and the exact location of the lairs.  The contact details are at http://www.scotborders.gov.uk/info/648/death-funerals_and_cremations/724/cemeteries

If you give me the names / dates, I'll have a look at the headstones next time I'm down there.
