I have been doing a lot of research on Hope Herriot and his family, etc. I have his death certificate, he died 26/12/1888, Jock's Lodge, Edinburgh, he married Catherine Foreman, 1848, April, May and June, Berwick. His parents names are John Herriot and Jane Pringle, I have searched s/p website for Hope's birth and his parents marriage, not found either. Hope someone can help.

You have told us when & where he married and died - but not when and where he was born?

Are you sure about his mothers name ? Other trees have something different.
FreeReg have this baptism, which corroborate what they have.

Definitely his parents names are John Herriot and Jane Pringle. The witness on the death certificate was his son Hope Herriot.

Hi
It maybe worth making a note of though. Families did tend to carry family names on and given two of Hopes children were John and May (taken from 1861 census) it could be worth looking into.

I agree its worth noting.
I have found mistakes on Death Certs by the Informant.
John HERRIOT Married May AITCHISON, 21 Nov 1808, Athelstaneford Parish Church, Athelstaneford, East Lothian.
Children Baptised same Church were;
JOHN, 26 May 1809
HELEN, 20 Oct 1810
BARBARA, 28 Aug 1814
Then at Gladsmuir Parish Church (under Harriot);
HOPE, 16 Nov 1823
MARY, 30 July 1826
It is possible that May died and John remarried to Jane Pringle and Hope/Mary thought of her as their Mother.
Although I can find no evidence of this in Scotland or England post 1826.

I have John and Mary Aitchison in my family tree and if your theory is correct, Hope was Johns brother born 1809, then it would make them my relations. Now looking for deaths for the other siblings to hopefully verify the mother's name.

I am still looking for Hope's siblings marriages and deaths. I was at Register House earlier this week, looked yet again, asked the colleague, same result. Have looked on ancestry at the census for 1841 for all siblings but nothing jumps out. Can someone please help.
