Temple Bar Peebles--Brodie & Murray families
« on: Saturday 28 February 09 16:07 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

On the censuses Margaret Brodie says she is born at Temples Bar Peeblesshire.
I've looked for a village called that & I can't find one. Is it a village,or is this the name of a farm, or a street/road, or what is it?

Thank you,
Lisa

Hi Sancti,

She was born about 1818 according to the censuses.

Hi Lisa and Sancti  :)

Looking at the 1841 census where Margaret Brodie shows with parents Robert and Marion (Hastie) at Temple Bar. Other addresses on the page show as Mailingland. On modern sites, Malingsland shows as a farm on postcode EH45 8PH. There are also modern refs. for Temple Bar at the same postcode.

I can't tell you what it was (farm/land etc.) but the postcode will at least show you on a modern map where it was. Margaret Brodie shows on IGI along with many siblings. Many of the entries are submitted rather than actual extract from the OPRs but there are some original extract entries showings. Maybe a check on Scotlands People's original images for the OPRs on the births or christenings might give you some more clues as to what Temple Bar was. The family looked to have moved from Eddlestone to Peebles parish, children showing in both parishes.

Hello Lisa

Following on from Monicas post.  Find out where it is, just north of Peebles, then use the following link:

http://geo.nls.uk/os6inch/google.html

Zoom down using the 'map' function, close in on the second A703 box to the north of the centre of Peebles at a junction by Winkston, then click on the 'Historic 'buton on the right of the page.  It clearly shows up on the map. You should be able to save what you can see by right clicking.....

Any problems please get back to me.  Regards,   Steve    :O)

Lisa,
  I have a number of Brodie's born in Temple Bar, including a Margaret Brodie buried in the Peebles cemetery. Has anyone come across Red Scar Head in that area?
