Hi Alan14578,
re Ettrick Kirkyard.
I am tracing the Amos Family
Elizabeth Amos who died at 5 Trevallen Terrance, Hawick ,1912 age 23 was my Great Grandmother.
After visiting the kirkyard myself i found an error in the information you have been given.
"James AMOS,d. Upper Tofts Hall,Hawick,6.Apr.1914,age 73." should read "JOHN AMOS"
I am srtuggling to find his parents who are THOMAS AMOS & JANET (Nee AMOS)
Any help would be greatly appreciated ... kjdhawick
