Hi,
If you notice on our 1861 transcription on
www.maxwellancestry.com it gives place of birth for Agnes as Selkirk, Lindean. I have checked the original and this is a correct transcription. Lindean is in the parish of Galashiels which is matches with birthplace of Agnes in 1871. This could be a key piece of information in identifying the correct family. Although most of Galashiels Parish was in Selkirkshire, until the Boundary Commission's changes of 1891 some small parts of Galashiels parish, including Lindean, were actually in Roxburghshire. Even at the time, this caused confusion and it may be worth bearing this in mind.
I have also found this entry:
1840
Stewart
Morebattle March 17th Here was Baptised Agness daughter to Daniel Stewart and Agnes Middlemost by the Revd. F. ClarkThis is taken from CH3/520/02 - Records of Free, United Presbyterian (UP), United Free (UF) and Other Protestant Churches - Morebattle (Gateshaw) Associate Session (United Associate Session, United Presbyterian, United Free church) Copyright of the NRS.
This shows that Agnes' maiden name was Middlemost (I would also search under Middlemass). Also it shows Daniel and Agnes did not attend the Church of Scotland. This would indicate that Agnes' parents may also not have attended the Church of Scotland.
What do you know about Agnes? Her death certificate should give her parents' names, including her mother's maiden name, do you have it?
