Must go to Specsavers! I was reading it as 'upsetting' and with the 'u' being in lower case I thought you meant that the stone in Ladykirk was upsetting. Thank you for clarifying that.

Hi Terianne, i am just reading through your comments now and will see if i can do any further research. Im sure i came across the same possible record for Georges parents but couldn't be 100%. I have done my DNA on Ancestry so im hoping to get further results from that in the future too 😊

Hi Iris and welcome to Rootschat.

You are absolutely correct about the George Craik born 1824. I obtained his death certificate.

His wife was pregnant with their 7th child at the time. She remarried not long afterwards. I have a photograph of his gravestone from Tweedmouth Cemetery. The stone is quite impressive.

Hi Iris,

I was doing the Craik family history for a friend of mine. It may be useful for you if I contact you by private message on this site -- but as far as I know you have to have had 3 messages on the normal Forum before you can have/send a private message (I might be wrong about that). So far you have only sent 2 messages.

Anyway -- if you reply to this message to confirm you would like me to contact you privately -- I can then send you a personal message via this site.

Regards June
