Hi Bougie

I would be most grateful if you could send me more details about James Park.  Also is there any chance you could have a look and see if there is anyone with the surname Nichol mentioned.

Many thanks

Many thanks for the information - the James Park I'm looking for would have been older - perhaps this James is his son, I will have to try figure out if there is a connection.

Once again thanks a lot for taking the time to do look-ups

Hi Bougie

Does the book by any chance list the parents names of the Nichol boys that you listed?  If so and if it is not to much trouble could you please send them to me. 

I am trying to establish how the Nichol family of Hawick are connected to the Park family from Denholm and Hawick.  I have found an old photo sent to my Grandfather from his Aunt & Uncle W & B Nichol.

Many thanks

Bougie,

Is there any chance you could look up some Hogg brothers for me please if you get a chance.
They were called Alexander, John (b. 1888), Peter (b.1891) and Thomas (b. 1893).

They also had a sister called Mary (b. 1890) (My Aunie Mary )who had a fiance who died in the great war. I don't know his name. But she never married. But we think she had a child and it was kept very quiet..... All very sad.....

Also James T Bowie (b 1889) or any of  his brothers; Andrew (b 1880), David (b. 1883) or Henry (b 1887). All lived in Hawick.

Thanks!!
