parish register lookup-HOME/LINNEN
« on: Wednesday 04 March 15 02:19 GMT (UK) »
I am hoping some kind soul can do a lookup for me.  I have an Isobel Home was married to William Linnen/Linen on 25 NOV 1750, Greenlaw, Berwickshire.  Through Ancestry and IGI I find 2 possible christenings for her:

1) d/o Alexander, c 4 JUN 1731, Coldstream, Berwickshire
2) d/o Alexander, c 4 FEN 1733, Chirnside, Berwickshire

The OPR for Greenlaw are indexed but not digitized.  I was hoping someone who had access to the marriage record in 1750 could see if it listed a parish where she was from.  Or look at the christening records as see if there is any other residential or occupational information in the entries.

Thanks!

You need to use Scotlandspeople for access to the Greenlaw OPR - although not complete - if you are looking for someone who's religion was non-conformists - there not always recorded pre 1855.

Did a little digging and william linnen's marriage is there but the index highlights that his spouce name is not on the record - rare, but not unusual back then

the baptisms for isobel you mention are also available - but no worth uploading will only give you copy of the page the enter is in - index give just as much info.
