Can any one tell me where the records are held for this village for the years around 1790 -1800

I am trying to request a "look-Up" for a Archibald Gibson b1794 (ish) (year obtained from 1841/51 census (England) that give both this location and the year of birth.  I have been looking for years for anything regarding his birth or any family members that might be there.

There seems to be Gibson in many of the surrounding villages during that time period but no Archibald among them.


Thanks

Richard

Hi, thanks.
Ok then, you will have to take a trip to Edinburgh. ring first at a place called scotlands people.
Book a pc for the day. not sure how much, (12.00 when I went some years ago)
Their records are the best, you will have the pc from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm.
It will even tell you the time of the births.
They do have a web site, but it can be expensive on line.

Thanks Maggsie,

Have searched SP online and found no match.  Was wondering where the originals are located so they can be physically searched, as I think an error may have been made or a page was missed being transcribed.

Not able to do that myself as there is a bit of water between where I am and the UK.


thanks

If BHFS can't help try the Heritage Hub at Hawick alternatively you may have to New Register house or the national archive for Scotland in Edinburgh

Thanks,

i'll take a look there as well, but my feeling is that if SP has no record then maybe my Archibald was not born in Roxburgh as stated in the 1841/51 census.  There were a few on the west coast of Scotland
