Roxburghshire / Re: M I's for Hawick

Additional problem too - there are three graveyards that would have been open at that date - Wellogate, Wilton and the Episcopalian one - St Marys I think would have been 'full' by then. Haining's papers are not indexed completely, but it might be worth contacting the Hawick Archaeological Society itself - it does have a website - to see if someone would be kind enough to look for you.

Lancashire Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Manchester Mystery of surname link

Isn't it fascinating how a house name acts as such an amazing link! Honeyburn was the farm where Margaret Haddon grew up. She married William Sinclair there having met him through her brother, John, who also practised in Manchester.
And yes, you deduced correctly that Agnes was one of her sisters - she had six, and two more brothers who were solicitors in Hawick, Roxburghshire. Her two daughters came to Scotland regularly to visit the family and I remember Maggie Marriot when I was small. Unfortunately I cannot lay my hands on any photographs of them.
My cousin remembers visiting her Auntie Belle in the 1930s in very grand house in Manchester. And through her I finally solved the marriage of Osbourn aka Oppenheim: were they of Jewish origin or just German?
