Peebles Monumental Inscriptions
« on: Sunday 06 November 11 07:11 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone have access to the the Peebles MIs please?

My gggrandfather was a John Stevenson who married Janet Walker . Janet's parents were James Walker [plowman] and Kathrine Watson who lived at Kings Meadow, Peebles where she was born on 29 June 1803. She married John Stevenson a farm grieve also from Peebles on 21 May 1821 in Eddlestone and 8 June 1821 in Peebles. Apart from their son John my relative they also had sons Robert 25 August 1822 and James 22 February 1824. We think John was working as a grieve at Traquair estate

Any help tracking and of these people gratefully received

This John Stevenson is not the one you asked for but he may be an older generation in your family.

John Stevenson late tenant Bogend 27-9-1803 wife Eliza .Murray 27-12-1817.

This John was 44 years at death , his wife was 45, a son John age 5 was also buried with them . I  think the childs year of death is 1811 but it is not clear.
