Good evening,
I am new to Roots Chat and hope to get some help from seasoned members so as to further my family research!
I am very interested to see this subject as I am directly descended from the Beattie's of Hawick/Langholm/Carlisle!
My maternal grandmother was Janet Hounam Beattie, born 1899, a sister to David Johnstone Beattie and daughter of Joseph Edward Snr and Janet Davidson.
I have been fascinated in reading through this post and wondered if anyone could help me with some background to the family?
One thing that is always a bonus is family pictures and I wonder if anyone knows if any may survive or in which archives they may be held?
I would really appreciate some help and hope that I can expand what I know about this interesting family.
Many thanks!
Sorry - only just picked this up! I'm away in Norway, due back in the UK later next week. I have some interesting bits I can share with you! I also have a family tree which DJB and his son, Kenneth, worked on - your Grandmother will be on it!
I'll PM you - we're 2nd cousins!
