Hi Maggie,
Mary ann spence wife of thomas fisher 25/02/1902 age 80
christina spence27/08/1877 age 73
robert spence aug 1780
These are the only spences I know you didn't mention any of these but as there are only 3 thought i would give them anyway you might find a conetion to them as your research progresses.

Thanks Lesley, don't think they are related to the Spences I'm researching but I'll make a note of them for future reference. Thanks for looking! Maggie

Hi Leslie,
I am interested in the Creak family and I understand there are 3 in the Eccles burial place.
Perhaps one is Thomas Creak who died in 1849.
Any info would be of great interest. He was a farmer and he also owned land in Temple. It is a rare name in Scotland and all 3 are probably related.
My Great Grandmother X was a Creak from Temple.

Hi Maggie
Thank you very much for your reply.
I really dont think my Ralph Allan wishes to be found, I cannot find out anything about him other than he was a shepherd and married Isabella Swan at Eccles in 1787. Have not found any connection to the Allans you sent, just the ones at Birgham.
Once again thanks
John

Would you look for Clezy, Clezie? There may even be a spelling, Clazy, Clazey!
Thank you.

I have a Helen Allan who married Alexander Creak in Eccles in November 1765. I dont yet have any details on Helen Allan but Eccles was a small village. So she was born perhaps circa 1740?.
I understand that land tax payers are in the same booklets as the Inscriptions and may help which families lived where?

Morning Lesley - Thank you for your search of any other Creaks - I am trying to find Helen Dickson daughter of James Dickson and Margaret Bruce - I believe she was the first wife of the Thomas Creak in your April 10th reply - I cannot find any marriage record for them - I have found three children born to them but none is the Helen Dickson Creak mentioned in the MI for Thomas Creak - is there any MI's for any of these James or Margaret nee Bruce or daughter Helen Dickson -
I would appreciate any little bit of info you have

Hi Leslie
I have a photo of the Gravestone of
Alexander Dickson
and wife Ann Trotter,
And son George Dickson[1771-1844]
and grandson Alexander Dickson
All of Stonefeld and Belchester.
Taken in Eccles July 2007 if of interest to anyone.
I have Creak family ones as well.

-
Hi Leslie,
I have the Creak transcriptions and have found out that the maternal side traces back to the ancient family of Spottiswood or Spotswood through Barbara Spotswood. I understand very little remains of the old Spottiswood Castle and later Mansion.
I was wondering if there are any inscriptions with this name in probably Westruther.

Hello Norma
Thank you so much for that, that William is the one i was hoping for, i could make out tenant and Birgham, but no birth or death. they were a very unlucky family Elizabeth was only 24 when she died and daughter Mary only 16 followed by William a few years later, of consumption.
Thank you, greatly appreciated.
