I have hit a brick wall with my 4 x Great Grandfather Adam lawson. As far as I can establish he died and was buried in Innerleithen in 1832. He was married to Ann/Anne Muir and was a shepherd. The majority of his children were born in Manor, Peebles and there seems to have been another Lawson, William, living in Manor about the same time (1774-1800) and bearing children - a brother perhaps.
Any help with Adam or Ann would be appreciated.

Had a look at pre 1855 list of monumental inscriptions but cannot see anything for Lawson or MUIR at either Innerleithen or Manor. Sorry :(

Hi Brina,
I'm hoping that you have a list of M.I's in Peeblesshire. Do you have anything for Stoddart around Stobo? Thanks in anticipation :) Maza

I have had a look at the Stobo mi's for you and no luck with any Stoddart I'm afraid. 😕

This one is a bit of a muddle but I have copied it exactly from the book.
Hope this helps.
