I am trying to find more info on Agnes Neilson
She is my husband's Great Great Grandmother. She was born in 1814 in Kelso to Thomas Neilson and Margaret Hogarth
I know she had a son, William Wallace b 1846 Eckford to a man named John Wallace.
In 1861 she is living with Peter Burns b 1815 - 1817 Ireland and they also have a son Hugh Burns aged 6 b Kelso. He is my husband's Great Grandfather.
In 1871 Agnes, Hugh and William had moved to another area of Scotland and Peter was no longer with them. Agnes states that she is a widow.
I have been unable to trace them in the 1851 census but that could be me just not seeing them as I want to see them if you know what I mean.
I have managed to trace Thomas and Margaret back but am not 100% sure about Thomas' birth place and date. I have 1782 Rutherglen but am definite that he married Margaret Hogarth in 1807. Margaret was born to Charles Hogarth and Jane Jamieson in 1780 in Kelso. They had four children altogether (that I know of) - Isabel 1809, Thomas 1811, Mary 1817 and Agnes though I have no other details of Isabel, Thomas or Mary
Has anyone got any links to this family and any definite info on Thomas and his birthplace? Or can anyone help with the search for Peter Burns and Agnes in 1851 or even Agnes and son, William in 1851?
