Hello Bougie,
If you wouldn't mind, could you look up Sgt. Frank Walker of the Royal Fusiliers. He ended up marrying a German girl in Cologne in 1922 and went on to be Vice-Consul at the British Consulate in Zurich. His brother was John Henry Walker, my grandfather. They may have lived at 1 Laing Terrace, Hawick.
Also John Nelson, my grandmothers brother may have been at the Somme. His mum and dad were Robert and Margaret Nelson of 5 Garfield Street.
Bougie, I want to say on behalf of everyone who has taken advantage of your kind generosity...a very hearty THENKS LAD !!!!
Regards Hawickborn.

Hi Amanda,
Just browsing, your query caught my eye.....guess what ????
I believe Alexander and Agnes had another son John,d.1899 age 84. John was married to a Janet Rae. Their son Alexander married Margaret Bell in 1872. They had a son,Thomas Bell Burns in 1880. Thomas married Agnes Maxwell in 1905 and my grandfather Alexander was born in March 1907. I have loads of info, as well as census and certificates.
Regards Hawickborn
