Hello Ivy,

I do not know of any Alexander TURNBULL within my Family Ancestry, at the present.

I had a look on FamilySearch.org on the IGI, and in the Births there was an Alexander TRUMBLE (a possible variation of TURNBULL), he was born circa. 1810 in Ardrossan, Ayr, Scotland.   

I then searched for a Marriage for an Alexander TURNBULL and a Mary, again it came up as Alexander TRUMBLE marrying a Mary Anderson 4th Dec. 1835, in Ardrossan, Ayr, Scotland.

There were other TURNBULLs listed, why not have a go yourself and search at FamilySearch.org

Also suggest posting separate Topics relevant to your own research.

Hope I have been of some help to you.
If I come across any connection to an Alexander TURNBULL, I will get back to you.

All the Best,
Jeanette H.

I felt it would be more relevant to continue on this Topic.

Gilbert,

The following is from 'Rulewater And It's People', by George Tankred (1907), p233.
........... Of the children of John Veitch and Jean Elliot:-
Jean Veitch was married, 1813, to Thomas Turnbull, merchant in Hawick.  Jean was the only member of John Veitch's family who married.  Her children  were - Elizabeth and Jean, who died at Lanton; George, who emigrated to Australia, where he married and had issue; Jane married and had a son and daughter; Margaret and Georgina, unmarried. ...........

Hi Jeanette I am linked to your Turnbulls because I am descended from Walter Wilson father of your  Elizabeth Wilson who married George Turnbull.
I got lots of info off a film (1. Jame H Haining, Hawick MIs.)at the LDS which contains wonderful information on people of this area. Well worth having a look if you can.
I photocopied some of them which I will have a look at and see if I can find more for you.

Hello Trish,

Welcome, it is good to hear from you, also it is great that we have a mutual connection between our family histories.  There must be quite a few of us out there, as they had fairly large families. 

Hopefully we can help each other in some way.
I will get back to you soon, as it is about 2:30am, time I got some sleep.

Bye for now,
Jeanette H.
