I should add that James Daykins and Margaret Tait had 7 known children;

1. Elizabeth married John Crozier 1856, Hawick
2. William married Janet Clark 1857, Hawick. William died 1900 in Hawick.
3. Anne married James Henderson 1858,Hawick, Anne died 1920
4. Thomas born 1841.
5. John Bell Daykins born 1843. John died 1864 in Hawick.
6. Helen born 1846.
7. Matilda born 1849 married Alexander Lightbody 1868, Matilda died 1897 in Jedburgh.

I have most census entries and at the moment I am looking for any descendants who are interested in attending the commemoration for John Brunton Daykins VC.MM.

Has anyone got any further back with the Daykins?  I am interested in William Daykins and Ann Haldane's forebears.  I'm a descendent of Matlida Daykins who married Alexander Lightbody.

Thank you both, she looks lovely and that's quite emotional to see her coloured as she looks so much more alive !. :)

Hi Treetotal, the photo is already a scan of a photo as my father has the photos and I only have the scanned images.  I may be able to get another one done at some point so can try again then.  Many thanks

Thank you jim1, that's very helpful indeed.  I reckon I am correct in my surmise that the older lady is the mother of the younger and the younger is my great grandmother and the other is her mother.  I love the Edwardian style, especially the hair,  I agree Treetotal - the one is actually a miniature painting but it was very difficult to scan effectively, so I've not done the best job with it.  Do you think anyone on here would be able to colour the photo of the younger woman as I believe she had proper red hair, even with the black and white it appears that way to me. ;D

Hi, I'v got some photos of ancestors.  I know that these are definitely either my Great Grandmother and Great great Grandmother or my Great Grandmother.  The younger lady is I think my great grandmother Annie Lightbody (nee Knox) - who was born in 1873 and would have been around late 30s early 40s in 1910s.  Her costume and hair looks Edwardian I think.  The older woman is I believe Margaret Graham (the younger woman's mother) who was born in 1843.  The costume of the old lady and hair style seems quite severe and victorian.  They lived in the borders moving from Dumfriesshire into Cumberland and back several times.  My father thinks the old lady is Annie Lightbody - I can't see that she would be wearing what to me look like long victorian clothes in old age - and her mother Margaret Graham would have been 60 in the 1900s.  your opinions/help on this would be appreciated.

I'll try to persuade my relatives in Edinburgh to do some sleuthing for me.  I already want them to look up the Railway employee records (which have been transposed incorrectly on Ancestry). I'm up there next week for a couple of days but visiting relatives rather than having time to go record hunting (sadly).  I am a bit torn, but have to put the living relatives first - the others will wait!

Hi Forfarian,  Thanks again for your help.  No, I've not looked, but I will, as I have found several children.  I was trying to work out what each of their parents would have been called from their children's names, going by the naming tradition, and their children (the ones I have found) were: Alexander, John, Marion, Andrew and Archibald.  I sort of assumed that the grandparents would be Alexander (father's side), John (mother's side), Marion (mother's side), but of course this could be nonsense.  That hasn't helped me much either.  I'll let you know what I find out.  It doesn't help either, that the likely census has her age at 1841 as 50 and also his, but at his death in 1846 he is given as 64 which makes his birth 1782 ish, and at her death the age is given as 59 (1850), which gives her a birth date of either 1782 or 1791.  Could be a transcription error in the census perhaps, as the death ages I have seen the actual record. I can't find anything just doing a very broad search across Scotland and England.  If they were very poor, perhaps they didn't have enough money to pay for any church interventions. :-\

Can I ask if you know if a woman is called Margaret, can she also be known as Marrion or are there any other names she might call herself?  I can't find a birth record for Margaret Gilchrist or a marriage record for the Margaret Gilchrist Alexander Lightbody realtionship.  I wonder if they weren't officially married?
