Title: Kelso Abbey Churchyard MI's
Post by: dawnsh on Saturday 20 August 16 21:46 BST (UK)

Hi All

Have the surviving MI's been recorded?

I have come across a photo of a damaged headstone supposedly at KeIso Abbey for John Nesbit who died 1861, his wife IsabeIIa OIiver who died 1864 and their daughter Jane, can't work this one out as the stone's engraving has been eroded.

If anyone has access would be grateful for the dates.

Thanks

Dawn

Yes - it was done several years ago by the Borders Family History Society

you may be able to buy a copy, but could be out of print - check up their website
