Does someone have access who could look up Glazie? I am quite sure the spelling should be Clazie. Thank you.

There are no Glazie or Clazie in the pre 1855 M.I.'s.

Thank you and now I am confused. I found the updated list from The borders Family History society website. For the Glazie notation this seems to have a cd associated with it. Is this list outdated?

Hi Sharon,
Sorry, can't help you there perhaps they have done an up to date M.I.

I recorded the MI for the Abbey and it was published on cd by the Borders FHS last year. There is an Agnes Glazie buried there.

Margaret/Mamby might be interested to know that the spelling of the Clazie name gets more interesting. The husband of Agnes Middlemist is shown in some early records as "George Claisye".
George & Agnes had 7 children, including 2 named William and 2 named James. (When an infant died, a later child was often given the same name, just to confuse us.) I am descended from their 7th child, James Clezie, who was born at Edrington mill, christened 26 October 1766 at Mordington. He later married Helen Kerr / Carr, in 1786, and we are puzzling over exactly where she came from. Care to join the hunt for her origin?

George Aitchison & Agnes Clazie are buried immidiately outside the Kirk door at Abbey St. Bathan.

Hi Heiserca
Thanks for the info
re Helen Kerr she did marry the 2nd James Clazie 1786 at Hutton
She was born Coldstream 03/04/1763 and died Chirnside 15/04/1826 .
They had 10 children
Her parents were James Kerr 1725-1812 Berwickshire and Lucy Pitt 1725-1790
Regards
Margaret

Thanks, Margaret. The Helen Kerr born at Coldstream is one possibility among many, but what proof have you found that she is the correct Helen, who married James Clazie/Clezie? Several knowledgeable researchers have considered her but are not convinced.
One reason to doubt the dentification is the mother you mentioned, Lucy Pitt. The Clazie family closely followed the traditional naming pattern:
- 1st son after father's father; 1st daughter after mother's mother
- 2nd son after mother's father; 2nd daughter after father's mother
- 3rd son after father; 3rd daughter after mother
In all the Clazie/Clezie/Clazey/Clazy/Clezy generations that are known, there isn't one Lucy or a Pitt. Therefore, serious doubt that Lucy Pitt's daughter was our ancestor. Not impossible... but if there is any evidence, please share it.

Wow....I had narrowed down the choices for Helen to three....and this evening I looked at the certificate for James Ker, Esq. with the baptism of a daughter....and for some reason, I thought it just might be her but....there was also a William married to Margaret Burn that was also a possibility.... thank you!

James Ker's parents....would that by chance have been John Ker and Alison Spence...they had a son James born in 1720....
