Title: Beattie family in Hawick
Post by: stoney on Tuesday 17 April 07 22:19 BST (UK)
Does anyone have a connection with a Beattie family in Hawick?

My maternal G-Grandmother, Janet (Davidson) Beattie moved there from Langholm, Dumfries, sometime after the death of her husband, Joseph Edward Beattie in 1902 and the birth of their 15th (!!!) child, Charlotte, the same year.

I'd be pleased to hear from anyone with a connection to this family, as I know little after this date, other than my own line decended from one of Charlotte's siblings who moved to Carlisle.

I'll get back to you on your question.

Our son lives in the house where David Johnstone Beattie was born.  I recently had a visit from his niece and she handed me a copy of the Beattie family tree.

I've still to re-type it and enter the details into my computer, so once that's done (think after the summer!!!) I'll be able to give you mpre information.

According to my family tree program David J Beattie is my 2nd cousin 1 removed!!

David J Beattie and my maternal Garndfather, Joseph E. Beattie (Jnr), were brothers - they moved to Carlisle and set up their stonemason's business in Carlisle, first in Murrell Hill then moving to the present site in Warwick Road, although the business has now been sold out of the family but the new owners still use the name Beattie & Co.

Which one of the Beattie siblings are you related to?  I've had contact with some of the family in Perth, Australia - family of Andrew Beattie, who was one of my grandfather's younger brothers, and about 18 months ago met up with other family in Carlisle.

I visited David's son, Kenneth, a few years ago and he gave me a handwritten family tree which he and his father had worked on - going back to John Beattie b.c.1701 and further back through a distaff line to John Hounam b.c.1651. It will be interesting to compare notes when you've had a chance to sort out your information!

Thanks for replying anyway! Look forward to hearing from you!

Hello

I've got the tree supplied by my Beattie-descended neighbour now typed out and can send you it as a Gedcom.

I used the information supplied with blind faith as on the neighbour's tree without checking it out, so errors and omissions expected!

However, I have added information to the tree where I can verify facts - this will be obvious from the Gedcom once you've opened it.

I'm not descended from any of the Beatties, but John Beattie married a Janet Hounam in 1822, and I'm a descendant of her sister, Mary Ann Hounam.  Their grandfather was Samuel Wolves (Baron Bailie in Langholm) who features a bit in David J Beattie's books!

Further - I've also typed out a four-and-a-bit pages of all the Hawick area Beatties mentioned in the Great War book produced in Hawick after the war ca 1922, you'll find David J, his brother, and mother mentioned in it.

Perhaps you could p/m me off the board and I'll email these to you as  attachments.

Hi, I have just started looking into my family tree and on my grandpas side (Charles Spurgeon Beattie) a lot of his family came from Langholm area and I have come across a Charlotte which I think might related to you.  Maybe you could let me know how I can get a copy of what I have so far, it might be of use to you.

Hi Millie..appreciate your email as to tthe Beattie Family but afraid your Charles is not in my line. They did live & raise families in Langholm but mostly in Dumfries where one Thomas & Grace Brow Beattie left from Greenock & sailed to Prince Edward Island in 1822. They had a large family in PEI, two of which where Thomas & Alexander. Most of the children left the Island & settled in & around Boston, Ma & New Jersey, USA. Would be glad to read anything you have, never know when a name might ring a bell.
Scanning & email is one way or postal is another, strickly up to you. Again, thanks for your interest, my best to you, Artemas Beattie.
ps: Visited Scotland in 1996, left part of my heart there, beautiful country & people...

Hi Stoney
How good to hear from you - I have turned up such a lot of info since my last post. I now have a photo from the person actually living in the house where David and presumably Joseph lived in Langholm.
A family tree is shortly to be sent to me also.
So where do you live now? Here is a web site which I discovered last week - you will enjoy!!

Hi everyone,

My great great aunt Elizabeth Porter married Thomas Beattie of Langholm (1860-1927) and had two children by him: Robert John Beattie (1880-1960) and William Campbell Beattie (1892-1917; killed in action in France). I've been researching William Campbell's war experiences on-line in the War Office files (his were one of the 40% that fortuitously survived the WW2 bombing, and make fascinating reading).

Thomas Beattie is described on his tombstone as a 'Sculptor', which is typical of the Langholm Beattie's during this period: he was David Johnston Beattie's uncle, after all!

My first question is this. Are Thomas Beattie and David Johnston Beattie related to the Hawick Beattie's, and if so, how? The most well known of these are of course the sculptor father and son Thomas Beattie and William Francis Beattie, whose masterpiece is of course the Hawick 1514 Memorial, the famous 'Horse'.

My second question is: does anyone know whether Robert John Beattie married and had descendants? It would be interesting to know whether or not I have living Beattie relatives out there!

Sending you thanks and BW, Robbie Porter

Title: Re: Beattie family in Hawick
Post by: stoney on Sunday 04 December 11 14:55 GMT (UK)
Hi!

David Johnston Beattie was the 4th child of fifteen born to Joseph Edward Beattie and Janet Davidson. The last child, Charlotte was boen shortly after her father died. Subsequent to that, Janet, the surviving spouse, moved to Hawick, taking with her such of her children that were still living at home.

I'm not sure if she moved to Hawick to be nearer other Beattie relatives or her own family.

According to the family tree I have, drawn up by DJB, Robert John was married (alas no name given) but he had three children:

Elizabeth (m. Graham)
Agnes
Thomas C. , (m.?) - one child, Marilyn.  (I presume this Thomas' middle name may have been Campbell?)


PM me if you want a copy of the Family tree DJB wrote - back to John Beattie (b.1701)  m. Margaret Halliday


BTW - my maternal Grandfather was one of DJB's siblings - although he was the middle child and the fifth son, he bears the same name as his father: Joseph Edward! Go figure!

Hi Robbie
In response to your enquiry regarding issue of Robert John Beattie I can help a little. He had 2 daughters and a son. Elizabeth Beattie whose married name is Graham, Agnes Beattie and Thomas Beattie. I don't have any further information and have gleaned this from various other family trees. I am the grandson of David Johnstone Beattie. It is likely that there will be connection with Hawick although I have not found it as yet.
Best wishes
Ray Beattie

Post by: RMP on Sunday 04 December 11 20:59 GMT (UK)
Hi Ray,

Many thanks for this.

I'm guessing that Elizabeth was named for her mother, my 2 x great aunt Elizabeth Porter.

Stoney replied to me earlier on this site, and provided some useful information. Robert John Beattie's son Thomas had a daughter, Marilyn. Do you have their dates? It's likely that there will be Porter / Beattie descendants out there somewhere. Stoney also sent me a very useful Beattie genealogy, which I'm guessing you already have?

The Langholm / Hawick link MUST be there somewhere, unless of course there were two distinct Beattie families of outstanding stonemasons / sculptors operating at the same time just a few miles apart!

VBW, Robbie

If it's of any interest or help, attached is a .rtf file of the Beatties mentioned in the book, Hawick and the War.  A while back I was looking at the Hawick connection - but didn't get anywhere.

Title: Re: Beattie family in Hawick
Post by: RMP on Monday 05 December 11 15:35 GMT (UK)
Hullo Bruce,

Many thanks for that, outstanding! I've heard of the book 'Hawick and the Great War', and I'm hoping that you can help me out a bit more.

My grandfather Robert Porter fought with the KOSB's during the war, was invalided at Gallipoli and subsequently was made a POW in 1917 in France. He survived, and died in 1947. Is he in your copy of the book?

Also, he had three cousins from Hawick, all killed. Three of them (Robert Porter, John Porter and David Porter were brothers, the sons of Robert Porter).

The other cousin was John Porter, son of John Porter. I'd be surprised if the brothers at least aren't in the book, I think it was the only example from Hawick of three brothers killed.

Finally, the last of the six cousins that I've identified was William Campbell Beattie, b. in langholm in 1892 and d. at Arras in 1917 (his mother was my great-great aunt Elizabeth Porter).

If there are any pics, I'd be particularly grateful!

Sending you thanks, Robbie

Hi Folks
Well I think that we have a tenuous connenction with The Langholm & Hawick Beatties. In Bruce's Hawick & the War there is a paragraph which mentions Pte James Beattie sending a Greek coin to his brother D J Beattie who lived at Scotsknowe Carlisle. The following link from the Eskdale & Liddlesdale Advertiser confirms this is the same D J Beattie (grandfather)  http://www.eladvertiser.co.uk/news/langholm_s_forgotten_son_1_648450
The only problem I have is that their parents did not live in Hawick but presumably James did!

Title: Re: Beattie family in Hawick
Post by: stoney on Tuesday 06 December 11 09:13 GMT (UK)
DJBeattie's widowed mother (Janet Davidson) moved (back?) to Hawick from Langholm following the birth of her last child, Charlotte (c.1902?).

She died there, 7th April, 1933, aged 77. Address given on death certificate looks like 12 Trinity Street, Hawick. Death registered by son, D.J.Beattie, 'Kenilworth', Talbot Road, Carlisle.

Sometime in the 1960's, when I was a child,  some relatives visited us from Hawick -  my Mum (DJB's neice) laughed when I tried to say it 'Haw-wick'  ;D

Post by: RMP on Thursday 22 December 11 16:06 GMT (UK)
Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find out more about the Great War service (if any) of Robert John Beattie (b. 1880 d. 1960); his younger brother William Campbell Beattie was killed in France in 1917. My great-great aunt Elizabeth Porter was their mother. Their father, Thomas Beattie, was David Johnstone Beattie's uncle.

There's a few tantalizing possibilities in the War Office records, but I need more specific details to ensure that I've got the right man.

If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. Any pics would be particularly welcome.

It's a strange thing, but I came across the current owner of W C Beattie's 1914-15 Star in another online chatroom.

Very best wishes (and Merry Christmas!), Robbie

The writer and broadcaster Alistair Moffat and the geneticist Dr. Jim Wilson of Edinburgh University have jointly produced a book about Scotland's genetic genealogy, and extracts have been published in the Scotsman. In today's article, some familiar surnames are examined, and the following passage may be of interest to people following this thread -

"Other results simply surprise, and on a personal level. For someone who played rugby for Kelso in the Border League, fixtures against Langholm were not to be taken lightly. Tough and uncompromising, their forwards hunted in a pack and often ground out a good result. In my playing days half the Langholm pack seemed to be called Beattie – an apposite surname, and I always assumed that it must be native to the Borders, or Dumfriesshire at a stretch. In fact the story starts in Ireland, in Leinster in the south-east. The major descent group of the Beatties carry the marker S169. Known as the Irish Sea Type, it traces descent from the Kings of Leinster who were originally the chiefs of the Lagin Clans. Such high-born beginnings do not dull the memories of bruises at the hands and feet of Langholm Beatties. But the presence of these uncompromising men might be a memory of a migration from Ireland. Only more testing will tell."

Hello, was advised yesterday in Langholm that someone on this site was looking for information about the Beattie family, not sure if you are the person in question but notice that you have discussed my grandfather Robert John Beattie and my father Thomas Campbell Beattie as well as my aunts Elizabeth and Agnes, I have a family tree which was prepared by dads cousin Kenneth Beattie from Carlisle these Beatties go back to 1674 and are related to Hounams along the way, if you are interested in further information let me know

Post by: Ray Beattie on Saturday 31 December 11 14:11 GMT (UK)
Hi Thanks for your input. I have the family tree prepared by Kenneth Beattie - he was my father's (George) brother.
That said I have quite a number of gaps on your side of the family which I would like to fill.
If you would like a CD of the Beattie tree please comeback at *
and you can see where my deficiencies are.

Title: Robert John Beattie
Post by: RMP on Saturday 07 January 12 12:27 GMT (UK)
Hullo M6,

Well, by my reckoning we're 3rd cousins!

Robert John Beattie and his brother William Campbell Beattie were my 1st cousins twice removed, their mother being my great-great aunt (and your great grandmother!) Elizabeth Porter.

I'm particularly interested in the brothers' experiences in the Great War (I know that WCB was a sgt. in the KOSB and was killed in 1917).

Do you have photographs of them both? Also, I'd love to see the family tree that you mentioned.

Bytheway, was RJB a postman at any time? I found an interesting pic in the Langholm Archives that might be of him!

Many thanks and best wishes, Robbie Porter

I am so glad I stumbled across this site.
My name is Maureen Crawford, my mother Constance Beattie and my grandfather David Johnstone Beattie.
I am very interested to read the comments and realise the connections and extended family. I well remember travelling on the bus with my grandparents from Carlisle up to Hawick.  I remember my Auntie Cha.
I see a comment from my cousin Ray, he and I were born a day apart.  We had lots of cousins. I would love to know something of the lost year.
I would also love details of the family tree, I remember my Uncle Ken showing it to us in Carlisle.  My children, especially my daughter Rachael, are very interested in their true background.
I have lived in New Zealand since 1974 and feel somewhat remote from my family roots.

Hello Ray,

I think I have to post a few notes before I can enter an email address but you probably could and then I can reply - I am truly interested in the Beattie side of the family.  I put David Johnstone Beattie into Google and up he came.  There was a picture of him and the office in Warwick Road.  Rachael has a photo of my Mum aged about two sitting in the office chair.  This was on the firm's calendar for that year - about 1915 or so.

Hi  - distant coz, Mauney!

Have you seen this pic before? Cha on left, Jenny on right. Lady in middle is my maternal grandmother, Kate Meyers who married Cha and Jenny's brother, Joseph Edward Beattie. It was Joe and David that set up the stonemason's business, first in Murrell Hill and later at the premises in Warwick Road.

If you've trawl back through this thread you'll get some idea of where I fit into the picture!  ;D

Hey, Mauney - just had a trawl through the Family Tree and found you! I see some of your kids have 'Beattie' names - Rachel and Andrew!

Surprisingly, we chose those for our own kids - thinking we'd avoid family politics by not favouring any particular relative. It was only years later that I started researching the family tree and discovered how many Andrews and Rachels there were!

And latterly my maternal aunt (Pat) mentioned an Aunt Rett (Rachel) and Uncle Andra (Andrew).......  :P

My grandfather was George Beattie Oliver of Hawick b. About 1880 I reckon. According to the Scottish custom of using the mother's maiden name as a middle name I am guessing his mother was a Beattie. Not sure if this matches up with anyone's information?

Good evening,
I am new to Roots Chat and hope to get some help from seasoned members so as to further my  family research!
I am very interested to see this subject as I am directly descended from the Beattie's of Hawick/Langholm/Carlisle!
My maternal grandmother was Janet Hounam Beattie, born 1899, a sister to David Johnstone Beattie and daughter of Joseph Edward Snr and Janet Davidson.
I have been fascinated in reading through this post and wondered if anyone could help me with some background to the family?
One thing that is always a bonus is family pictures and I wonder if anyone knows if any may survive or in which archives they may be held?
I would really appreciate some help and hope that I can expand what I know about this interesting family.

I understand this feed has been on the go for a wee while, but can anyone give any help. The question is, Is the Sculptor William Francis Beattie of Hawick related to Thomas Beattie the sculptor of Langholm? I have come to a dead end, but I see people here have traced their Beattie family trees in Langholm, so has anyone found definite proof? William's Father was Thomas, a sculptor, his father William was a photographer and lived in Hawick. If anyone has a link between the two families it would be much appreciated.

Ello

Don't know if we have spoken before, but I read this oldish post recently after a period of time away from genealogy

I have a George Beattie circa 1760 would I imagine been in the Hawick, Bonchester Bridge, Hobkirk area who married a Betty (Elizabeth) Stevenson before 1816, they had a daughter in 1816 called Betty, this betty, well both are a bit of enigmas and I am struggling

Any connection
