Does anyone know where Water Row was/is in Selkirk please?

Hi,
If you got to: http://www.maxwellancestry.com/census/51address.aspx you can search the census by address. Type Water Row in the address field, you will see a list of places in Selkirk with Water Row in the address. You will also see a link to view the property on Google maps.
If you click transcription you will see a full transcription and a link to historical maps as well as another link to Google maps.

Thank you Emma - Will try that now :)

Well I did look & although I found Water Row listing( many) but ploughed through them, found some info and although the listing gave notes on location, I could find Water Row marked on any map......but I know where abouts it is. So a good thing! Thanks again Emma

Water Row is the old high street. There is a sign on the wall outside the Old Douglas the booksellers in the Market Square junction with Ettrick Yerrace and going along the now High Street past the County Hotel to the Mungo Park memorial.

the market place is (very broadly speaking) in the middle of the water row

sweepdog. I have a copy of the 1817 census for Selkirk listing all the residents in Water Row and other streets. It was printed in the Border Counties Magazine Vol 1 1880-1881 pgs 161. I think you would find it on http;//www.cangenealogy.com/armstrong/selkirk1817.htm

Appreciated though

Does anyone have any information on Haining Rig House? It has re-appeared from the cut down forest near Middlestead Farm and Howden farm, on the right hand side as you leave the Golf Course leaving from SELKIRK to HAWICK

Perhaps better if you start a thread for this info, may be quicker.

briansoutar, if you in or around Selkirk there is a display currently within the courthouse building with the clock all about the Haining with maps photos and other things like census records etc and i think includes haining Rig.
The courtroom is where Sir Walter Scott sat when he was the local sheriff.
