No there are far too many to be correct.  You don't need vouchers to look at the index now.  So you can probably look but I am in the archives at Borders FHS just now so if you give me a couple to look at I can check for you

I have just checked the original for an Ann Dods which the IGI has as being born Lilliesleaf, christened in Makerstoun in 1764 and living in Lilliesleaf. Parents Baillie Dods and mother Jannet Adamson.

The orginal has no mention of Lilliesleaf at all and Baillie Dods the father was miller at Makerstoun-mill.  I am pretty sure all these mixes of Lilliesleaf and Makerstoun are wrong just like the Linton ones.

Many thanks Barbara for establishing that these entries are incorrect. Very strange.

I wouldn't discount it all together - I have cases over a couple of generations where children were christened in a different parish to their birth especially the eldest, because of a family connection ie maxton & ancrum parishes being christened in crailing & born in morebattle christened at cornhill eg my uncle was born in ancrum parish and christened in crailing - found out later that our family had very strong links in crailing

Hi again 'terianne'. No, I won't be discounting the possibility that my Lillieleaf Dods might have been baptised elsewhere. I keep my mind open and flexible to all possibilities, though I suspect that I'm never going to identify the parents of William Dods or his wife, Agnes White.

I have Dods/Dodds in my tree.  The direct line is  to a James Dodds born in 1786 at Ednam, not Lilliesleaf, who married Alison McDougall in 1826 at Minto. some of their children were also born at Minto but also Denholm.
May not be connected but you never really know!

At the risk of confusing the issue re Dods/Adamson and Lilliesleaf: I have a strong suspicion that Janet Adamson, who married Baillie Dods in 1762, was born in Lilliesleaf to George Adamson and Janet Simpson, on 16 Dec 1734. That might provide some reason for the mention? In this family’s history, there is also a pattern of birth in Lilliesleaf and baptism in Makerstoun.

I think that is an error from the Latter Day Saints IGI, Carol  Nearly all the  Lilliesleaf christenings are supposed to be christened at Makestoun but there is no reason why that would be and there are too many for it to be correct.
