Hi,
I wonder if there is anyone who has the book of gravestones in Lauder graveyard. Could you please look up book to see what Deans & Waddel/Woddels are buried there. Thank you

There are a few, you might be best doing a research request from Borders Family History Society unless you can tell me if you are looking for a certain person. There are 5 Deans graves and 9 Waddel graves.

Hi Barbara,
Many thanks for your e/mail. The Deans I am really looking for is Alexander Deans died 1835 at Blainslie & buried at Lauder. (he may not have a gravestone, I don't know) His wife is Agnes Waddell who was born 1763 I don't know when she died. In 1841 census she is living with a daughter at Pathhead, Chrichton Midlothian. but by 1851 she has disappeared. I wondered if any of the other Deans/Waddells buried there was related to them. I have been at the Hawick Hub a few times, but as its quite a distance from me I don't know when I'll get back. I don't even know where Alexander or Agnes were born.
Cathiemay.
