Gourlay
« on: Thursday 23 August 18 15:55 BST (UK) »
I am looking for any information regarding Simon Gourlay born 15 June 1861, Kirkpatrick Fleming, Dumfriesshire, his wife Agnes Palmer.  And their children Robert Currie Gourlay born 9 June 1888, Hawick and John William Gourlay born 23 November 1890, Hawick, Roxburghshire

I am also looking to find their deaths and any marriages.  Did Simon and Agnes have anymore children?

Regards
Oletta

Did you mean to post this on the Canada board ? If not if you click on "Report to Moderator" ( bottom right of your post ) you can ask for it to be moved to the Scotland board.

I can see the family on the 1901 Scotland census living in Hawick. I presume you have these details already. If you want to find births, marriages and deaths and access the 1911 Scotland census you will need to buy some credits for the ScotlandsPeople website :
https://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

Just to add , the name is coming up as Gourley , with an e on the census.

I don't have any credits with ScotlandsPeople but it is possible to search and get basic results.
There are two marriages listed for Simon Gourley :

1. Agnes Palmer 1886 Hoddom

2. Agnes Gillies Johnstone 1889 Hawick.

There is also a death listed in 1888 in Hawick for Agnes Gourley .

As there are also likely deaths for Simon and the two children ( as adults ) in Scotland I will ask a moderator to move your thread.
