Title: Thomas TURNBULL - Merchant of Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland.
Post by: Jeanette H on Thursday 19 May 05 12:10 BST (UK)

Hello to all RootsChat Members,

Has anyone come across any information regarding a Thomas TURNBULL (Merchant of Hawick) who married Jean VEITCH apparently in 1813.

They had 4 children all born in Hawick, Roxburghshire, Sct., all prior to 1820.

Thomas TURNBULL (ch. 28th Aug. 1888)
We just cannot find out where he was married or when he died.

Jeanette H.

Have you tried any census checks to confirm Thomas' date and place of birth?  I am tracing Turnbulls in London and have found the name is frequently badly mispelt - so far Charles Thacker Turnbull has turned up under the alias of Charles L Turnouer and Charles Trumble and Trundle!  Good luck.

Hello ggrocott,

Thank you for your reply.  I believe that not many, if any Censuses,  were taken during the years that I am possibly researching with my Thomas TURNBULL.

Hi there...have you tried reading the OPR films that the LDS family history centers either have or can order in  for you,that would cover your dates in question?
This is one of the most reliable ways for correct research that I have found.
I will look through what I have on M.I.s and see if anything rings a bell.
Were the Elliot and Murray persons married ,if so what were their given names and aprox dates?

Hello ajjbc,

Thank you for your interest in my 'TURNBULLs' etc.

The TURNBULL / VEITCH information I have is from the websites 'FamilySearch', 'Scotland's People', and various other sources.
The children of Thomas TURNBULL & Jane (Jean) VEITCH (b 1791), were Jane (b1815), Elizabeth (b1816), George (b1818), Jane Elliot (b1820).

Re: ELLIOT / MURRAY

Quote from: ajjbc on Thursday 09 June 05 14:53 BST (UK)

Were the Elliot and Murray persons married ,if so what were their given names and aprox dates?

As far as we know, the ELLIOT & MURRAY families were not connected directly by marriage, only indirectly as you will see by the following names.

The parents of Jean VEITCH, were John VEITCH (Spittal Mill) & Jean ELLIOT (Knowsouth), (marr. 1790)

Parents of Thomas TURNBULL, were George TURNBULL & Elizabeth (Betty) WILSON, (marr. 17--?)

********************

The parents of John VEITCH, were James VEITCH & Elizabeth (Betty) MURRAY (marr. 1756).     

The parents of Jean ELLIOT ? [father was possibly either a William ELLIOT (Bedrule), or Robert ELLIOT (Southdean), as the birthdates for Jean appear relevant] [mother Not Known].   

********************

The father of James VEITCH, was John VEITCH,  mother Not Known.

The parents of Elizabeth (Betty) MURRAY, were John Murray & Jane HENDERSON (marr. 1734).

********************

Any assistance much appreciated.
Thanking you,
Jeanette H.

going over your problem...off the top of my head ...#!I would suggest that you read the 1841 census of Hawick,if you think they were there...there is a VERY good chance you will find them.The parents could well be alive and most of the children still at home.
..#2..read the OPR's for that time frame...from Hawick and if they are not there expand outwards to try other parishes.,Wilton would be my next choice as it is across the river.

From years of experience I now know that:
  what is on the IGI you need to be carefull of...if it is an extraction,ok.If it is submitted,be careful and check the original sources (OPRS) and census where possible.

I will keep my eyes open...and also recheck the M.I. and see if there is any bells that ring.

I can't match any of the first names you mention though I do have the same surnames >>TURNBULL / VEITCH /  ELLIOT / MURRAY<< in the same area. Have a look at www.sewellgenealogy.com and see if anything rings a BELL - That's a family I need more on <g>

I'm tracing the Park family from Denholm, Roxburghshire (Hawick is not far from Denholm).  I have a James Park (B 1813 in Morebattle, Rox) who married Margaret Turnbull - they had 3 children Thomas (B 17/7/1845), James (B 13/2/1850) and Mary (B 30/4/1852).  Any information on Margaret Turnbull would be appreciated. :)

Hi Jeanette

You may have seen this already given it has been some time since your original posting.  There is an IGI entry (actual extract) for a Thomas Turnbull born on 28 Aug 1788 in Hawick to parents George (the name of Thomas's first son) and Betty Wilson (Elizabeth is the name of Thomas's second daughter) which might be worth considering. This couple also had a further 11 children all in Hawick.

Hello to all RootsChat Members,
'Happy New Year' to everyone.  May we all have endless results and success in researching our Family Histories.
 
First of all I must thank everyone who has replied to my post, time has just got away from me over the past few months, but hopefully I can get back into my research.

Thank you for your suggestions and if I come across anything that may be of assistance to others I will certainly pass it on.


Hello to Monica, thank you for your reply.

Just thought I would let you know that I have been considering for quite awhile, the possibility that this could be the 'Thomas' I am looking for, the time frame seems about right, and yes the names are very similar.

At the link below, I have also previously posted a topic entitled:
Is This'TURNBULL' Family On Your Family Tree? With the hope of making contact with any possible descendants
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,68197.0.html

As a point of interest, in mid-June 2005 while searching the Wills & Testaments on the website 'Scotlands People', I came across 2 listings for

[1] TURNBULL, Jean (Mrs)  24/02/1848
alias Veitch / Widow of Thomas Turnbull / Residing at Lanton. (Type ?) Jedburgh Sheriff Office. SC62/44/15

[2] TURNBULL, Jean (Mrs)  02/03/1848
alias Veitch / Residing at Lanton / Widow of Thomas Turnbull Merchant at Hawick.
Testament Dative, Jedburgh Sheriff Court. SC62/44/14

So we now know that 'Thomas' had died prior to 1848.
I have yet to access these Wills/Testaments,  as we are currently trying to work out the best way for us in sending payment over the Internet.

Once again thank you everyone.
Its time I signed off, as it is nearly 1.00am here in Australia, and still quite warm. Currently we are having extremely hot days.  I do not think it will cool down very much overnight.

We are currently watching a Daniel O'Donnell video, performing live in concert in Dundee, Scotland.  The music is thoroughly enjoyable.  A fantastic and energetic performer.

Hi there,

I just read your post today about searching for the death of Thomas Turnbull of Hawick.  I checked in James Wilson's unofficial register of deaths for any mention of him (this was a list kept by a Hawick solicitor during his lifetime) and there is an entry for Thomas Turnbull, merchant, died 29 Nov 1828.  He might well be yours...

Here is the link to the list anyway http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/sct/ROX/Hawick/wilson.html

Hello Clara_hutchison,

Thank you for your reply regarding Thomas Turnbull, you have reminded me that a few years ago I did come across this 'Unofficial Register of Deaths' collated by James Wilson.  I remember now that I had noted down the details of this Thomas Turnbull's death (29th November 1828), however they were so carefully filed away, that I completely forgot about it.

So I think that my next step is to track down his Death Certificate. 

Thanking you again,
Jeanette H.

Post by: Clare Fowler on Tuesday 24 January 06 11:13 GMT (UK)

Hi Jeanette,

The problem you will have, if this is indeed your Thomas Turnbull, is that you won't find a death cert for him, as statutory registration was not introduced until 1855.  Before this, all information was recorded in the parish registers.  I'm not sure what the Hawick OPRs are like for death records, but other ones I have looked at don't have many, so you may well be better off looking for a monumental inscription in the local cemeteries.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Clare

Hello Clare,

You certainly were quick in replying, a coincidence that we were both on-line at the same time.   I got your message more-or-less straight away, but I have been sifting through some information trying to make sense of what I have.

Thank you for your suggestions, regarding 'Monumental Inscriptions'.  I will certainly be following up on these. 

I do have a transcript of the headstones in the 'Bedrule Kirkyard'. Which does list some of our Veitch and Murrays.  There are some Turnbulls listed but not knowing our Thomas Turnbull's family connections, it makes it difficult to piece them together at the present.

So I will just have to keep working on it, hopefully I can come across further 'Monumental Inscriptions' from other Cemeteries in Roxburghshire, in particularly around the Hawick area.

You have been a great help.

Hi there,

I have the Monumental Inscriptions for the Liddesdale area of Roxburghshire, which has the details for the 4 churchyards in and around Castleton.  This is further south than Hawick, but if you need me to check anything, I can certainly have a scan.  I also have the Hawick and Castleton census' for 1851.

Title: Re: Thomas TURNBULL - Merchant of Hawick, Roxburghshire, Scotland.
Post by: Jeanette H on Tuesday 01 August 06 12:10 BST (UK)

Hello Ivy,

I do not know of any Alexander TURNBULL within my Family Ancestry, at the present.

I had a look on FamilySearch.org on the IGI, and in the Births there was an Alexander TRUMBLE (a possible variation of TURNBULL), he was born circa. 1810 in Ardrossan, Ayr, Scotland.   

I then searched for a Marriage for an Alexander TURNBULL and a Mary, again it came up as Alexander TRUMBLE marrying a Mary Anderson 4th Dec. 1835, in Ardrossan, Ayr, Scotland.

There were other TURNBULLs listed, why not have a go yourself and search at FamilySearch.org

Also suggest posting separate Topics relevant to your own research.

Hope I have been of some help to you.
If I come across any connection to an Alexander TURNBULL, I will get back to you.

All the Best,
Jeanette H.

Hi Jeanette I am linked to your Turnbulls because I am descended from Walter Wilson father of your  Elizabeth Wilson who married George Turnbull.
I got lots of info off a film (1. Jame H Haining, Hawick MIs.)at the LDS which contains wonderful information on people of this area. Well worth having a look if you can.

George and Betty Wilson married 17th January 1774 in Hawick
In 1841 census he would be 53 and the only Thomas I can find born 1788 was a sherriff officer in Canongate Jedburgh (no family shown)
All the children are shown on the OPRs  and assuming George was 20 when he got married that would make him born about 1754ish then the oprS  show a George born7-5-1749 in Cavers(outside Hawick) with a father George but no mother shown.
I have the Turnbull OPR indexes for most of the borders(beause I am a Turnbull myself)  but cannot find Thomass marriage. In Cavers and Bedrule MIs there are loads of Turnbulls as this is where TURNBULLS originated from.
The Scottish Borders Burial officer based at Heatheryett Cemetery Galashiels keep all the burial books and if you write to her Diane she may be able to pinpoint when and where he died and is buried.If he died in Hawick the Town Hall Registrar there may also be able to help.  Happy New Year  Alan

Not sure who you are directing your Question to, regarding Marriage Banns for 'VEITCH', as you did not mention a name, at the head of your Post.
Also, what christian name for 'VEITCH', are you referring to?

One more thing - where you have mentioned a, Thomas TURNBULL (b. 28th Aug. 1788)  married to a Janet KNOX, is this because you actually believe you have a direct connection, from this Thomas TURNBULL?

Thomas Turnbull who married Janet Knox died in 1890 He was a Miller at Hawick Corn Mill . He was my direct ancestor and did not die just after marrying Janet . To the best of my information he was born in Wilton in Hawick . So perhaps not the Thomas Turnbull you looking for . His mother  was Eupemia Hope
