Stuck in a rut?
« on: Friday 21 April 06 22:39 BST (UK) »
I have posted this before and no luck maybe someone can throw some light on it.

I have John Wood b 1810  Eccles Berwickshire, d1890 Roxburgh on his death cert his name is now

James?  his widow is named as Agnes Moor now comes my problem I know he married Agnes and

they had at least 7 children all born in Roxburgh, but can I find either a marriage cert or birth cert for

Agnes? I have searched all variations of the spellings, her parents were Thomas Moor and Agnes

Armstrong. I have Agnes's Death cert, she died 1861 aged 55yrs. This has been driving me daft for

weeks now. Any one help Pleeese ???

Agnes' parents married 24/11/1802 at Coldstream if that helps you at all-I wonder if your Agnes is on any OPR's at all?

Hi thanks for your reply I have Agnes's parents its her birth and marriage I cannot find, I have one of

her grandchildren born 1866 and his middle name is Muir so I ckd  all spellings of that and still no luck

this is one of these that you wake up during the night and think of something else she may have

called herself, I am starting  to wonder if she was born at all, anyway thanks for your help. Helen :(
